Crypto analyst Skipper has drawn attention to a significant development for XRP, even as it continues to trade below the psychological $2 level. Based on this development, the selling pressure could be easing for the altcoin, while ETFs continue to contribute to buying pressure as they maintain their inflow streak. Analyst Reveals XRP’s Stochastic RSI Has Hit 0.0 In an X post, Skipper revealed that XRP’s stochastic RSI has hit 0.0 for only the second time ever. This came as he noted that the altcoin has had a rough run, as it is down 35% in this quarter, 10% this year, marking its first yearly loss since 2022. The analyst added that XRP is also below the key $2 level.

He noted that this has only happened once before, which was in 2020, right before the altcoin bottomed at $0.28 during the Terra LUNA crash. Skipper also pointed to Steph’s statement that this could mean selling pressure is almost gone for XRP, though a quick bounce may not occur. The altcoin notably stayed flat for months in 2022 before it recovered. The analyst also mentioned that the drop in the stoch RSI marks cycle lows, not short-term trades. While the selling pressure looks to be cooling, XRP continues to see significant buying pressure from the XRP ETFs, which marks a positive for the altcoin. SoSo Value data shows that these funds have recorded daily net inflows since they launched. As a result, they hold net assets of $1.25 billion, which is almost 1% of XRP’s market cap. XRP Supercycle To Happen Next Year Self-acclaimed largest IQ holder YoungHoon Kim stated in an X post that the XRP supercycle will happen next year. Kim had earlier predicted that the altcoin could reach $10 or higher next year, which would mark new all-time highs (ATHs). This looks to be based on his belief that “all crypto will eventually connect with XRP.” Related Reading: Pundit Explains Why This Changes Everything For XRP In The Long Term In the meantime, crypto analyst Crypto King has stated that patience is key as XRP looks to reclaim key levels. The analyst noted that the price is holding just above the $1.85 critical support and that a strong bounce and a reclaim of $1.98 would signal a momentum shift. He added that if that price level breaks, the first upside target is the first resistance at $2.58. Meanwhile, there is also room for the altcoin to rally to as high as $3.66 next. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.86, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Steph has pointed to an “interesting” chart, which has previously led to an XRP price rally. This came as the analyst also suggested that the altcoin may be forming a bottom in preparation for the next leg to the upside. Analyst Shares Why This Chart Is Interesting For The XRP Price In an X post, Steph highlighted the 3-week XRP price chart, stating that it was “interesting” for one reason. He revealed that the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to 0.00 on the 3-week timeframe, which is extremely rare and has only happened once before, which was the 2022 bear market bottom. Related Reading: Pundit Explains Why This Changes Everything For XRP In The Long Term Steph further explained that on such a high timeframe, this indicator only reaches zero when selling pressure is fully exhausted, which is a positive for the XRP price. The analyst added that this means that momentum to the downside has dried up, although he warned that this doesn’t mean that price must instantly reverse. Steph noted that the last time this signal appeared, the XRP price entered a long accumulation phase before the next major move higher. As such, the analyst claimed that this again suggests that the downside risk is structurally limited and that long-term holders are absorbing supply rather than distributing. He further remarked that these signals tend to mark cycle lows rather than short-term trades. The XRP ETFs also mark a positive for the XRP price as these funds maintain their inflows streak. These funds have recorded daily inflows since the Canary’s fund launched on November 13. As a result, they now boast net assets of over $1.1 billion, even as XRP continues to see significant demand from institutional investors. XRP Remains Below Key Levels In an X post, CryptoXLarge stated that on the weekly chart, the XRP price remains below the descending trendline around the 8 to 21 EMA levels. He further remarked that this week, the price is attempting to break below the key support zone around $1.95, which aligns with the Fib 0.5 level and the 89-week EMA, which is a support that has held throughout the year. Related Reading: Here’s Why The XRP Price Keeps Crashing CryptoXLarge stated that a weekly close below this level could increase the probability of a move toward the $1.60 support, which is the Fib 0.618. Meanwhile, a weekly close above $1.95 may boost buying interest, which could trigger a relief XRP price rally toward $2.30 and then $2.70. Crypto analyst Crypto King also echoed a similar sentiment, stating that a reclaim of $1.98 could eventually send the altcoin to as high as $3.66. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.87, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP’s weekly chart has entered a technical zone that has repeatedly acted as a turning point in recent years. A recent analysis shared on the social media platform X highlights a recurring relationship between XRP’s price behavior and its 50-week simple moving average, a long-term trend indicator closely watched by traders. Instead of focusing on XRP’s short-term volatility, which has been bearish, the analysis zeroes in on how extended periods below this moving average have coincided with the end of downside phases and the beginning of rally expansions. The 50-Week SMA And Why It Matters For XRP Cycles Technical analysis of XRP’s price action on the weekly candlestick chart, which was posted on the social media platform X by Steph, reveals a repeating cycle around the 50-week simple moving average (SMA). Related Reading: Here’s What To Expect With The XRP Price Trading Under $2 This analysis is interesting because the 50-week simple moving average functions as a structural divider between bearish compression and bullish continuation on higher timeframes. In XRP’s case, previous cycles show that brief dips below this level have not been as significant as sustained stretches beneath it. The XRP price chart below tracks how long XRP stayed below the 50-week SMA before a change in momentum. In the first instance in 2017, XRP spent roughly 10 weekly candles, equivalent to about 70 days, under the moving average before staging a sharp upside move. A similar pattern appeared in the 2021 cycle, where the duration was shorter, with 49 days, but still acted as an inflection point on the weekly chart. However, the most aggressive move highlighted on the chart came in the 2024 period, where XRP traded below the 50-week SMA for about 84 days before posting a much larger rebound of about +850%. XRP Sitting Inside The Same Window Once Again According to the analysis, XRP is currently approaching about seventy days below the 50-week SMA, placing it squarely within the same historical window observed in prior cycles. Particularly, Steph noted that XRP has now spent roughly 70 days below the 50-week SMA again, and this places an outlook on what to look for in the next price action.

If XRP resolves to the upside again from the current structure, history suggests the initial signal would be a decisive weekly reclaim of the 50-week SMA, followed by continuation rather than an immediate rejection.

Crypto analyst Steph has highlighted a high liquidity level that could spark a significant surge for the XRP price. This comes as the altcoin struggles to reclaim the psychological $3 level, which could lead to a further rally to new highs. Liquidity Level That Could Spark An XRP Price Surge In an X post, Steph revealed that the liquidity around $3.2 is expanding for the XRP price and that the market is charging toward the highest cluster. He explained that there are many buy and sell orders around this level, with market makers often looking to capture liquidity at price levels with significant liquidity clusters like this one. Related Reading: Are The XRP Tokens In Escrow At Risk Of Being Sold? Ripple CTO Shares Insights As such, the XRP price could rally to $3.2 at some point, reclaiming the $3 level in the process. However, the crypto market is currently on a downtrend, which makes this rally less unlikely for now. XRP has struggled to break out of its current range since the $19 billion liquidation event on October 10. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had recently predicted that the XRP price could still drop to as low as $1.4 before it records a bullish reversal. She claimed that this will set the stage for the next Wave 3 impulse that could send XRP toward $6.50 or $10. Meanwhile, for the projected XRP crash to be invalidated, the analyst stated that the altcoin needs to break and hold above $2.82. However, Steph revealed that the XRP price has formed a double bottom, which he predicts would lead to a reversal above $3. The analyst is also confident that XRP will reach a new all-time high (ATH), predicting a rally to $4.50 as he highlighted a compression on the chart. Why Current Price Action Is Still Bullish Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto revealed that the XRP price is making higher highs and that the RSI is also making higher highs, which he noted means strong bullish momentum and that buyers are still in control while the trend is healthy. He added that there is no bearish divergence, so momentum is confirming the price move. Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term Egrag Crypto further remarked that when the XRP price and RSI rise together, the uptrend is real and supported by strength. He suggested that XRP holders should only be worried when the price makes higher highs but the RSI makes lower highs. He explained that this is when a bearish divergence could occur, indicating weakening momentum. Meanwhile, the analyst also mentioned that a close above between $2.65 and $2.70 with confirmation is key. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.5, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
The recent market-wide crash that sent the XRP price tumbling to $1.2 before an immediate rebound has left traders wondering whether the worst is over. Crypto analyst Steph, in a detailed technical analysis shared on X, noted that the latest move could be an important turning point for XRP. Although his outlook acknowledges the possibility of recovery, his deeper analysis of XRP’s chart history and key indicators paints a mixed picture of what lies ahead for the cryptocurrency. Bearish RSI Divergence Echoes 2021 Price Collapse According to Steph, XRP’s current structure on the weekly timeframe closely mirrors the 2020 to 2021 cycle that led to a 74% correction. The analyst highlighted a bearish RSI divergence where the price forms higher highs while the RSI forms lower highs, indicating that buying momentum is fading even as prices attempt to climb.

Analyst Shows The Odds In his view, this pattern has always indicated exhaustion in bullish strength and the beginning of corrections. Steph drew comparisons to late 2024, up until July 2025, when XRP’s weekly RSI was declining despite rising prices. This setup has now triggered the most recent 65% correction that reached a bottom over the weekend. He noted that the correction, which started around July 14, has lasted more than 80 days, similar to the duration of the 2021 correction. Based on this, XRP could be nearing the end of its corrective phase before a rebound if history repeats itself. Steph acknowledged that the crypto market’s recent crash was heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors, including the US president’s announcement of a 130% tariff on Chinese imports, effective November 1. This shock, combined with leveraged positions across the market, led to the deepest liquidation wicks ever recorded for XRP. Nonetheless, the analyst believes that XRP has flushed out excessive leverage and cleared liquidity zones around $2.25, and this has set the stage for a possible rebound to higher liquidity targets and new all-time highs above $4. However, sustained bullish momentum from here depends on reclaiming other important price levels. XRP Price Levels To Watch Before Calling A Bottom Despite the bullish prediction, it is important to note that XRP is still at a technical crossroads that can either be bullish or bearish. The price has fallen below its range between $2.65 and $2.84, which had served as support for months. Therefore, reclaiming at least $2.65 on the weekly close is essential to confirm that the bottom is in and that the recovery phase has begun. Related Reading: Analyst Urges All XRP Investors To Pay Attention To This Connection No One Has Made Before In his video, crypto analyst Steph also talked about the importance of the 50-week simple moving average (SMA), which is currently around $2.45. Closing below this line has marked the start of bear markets for XRP. If we see one or two weekly closes below $2.40, then that’s a signal to exit crypto. The bullish prediction, one that could even lead XRP to new all-time highs, depends on if it manages a weekly close above $2.4, breaks above $2.65 and its 50-week SMA, and sustains buying strength. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.52, up by 2.6% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
