Expert Says the Biggest XRP Signal Just Flashed. Here’s What Is Coming

XRP is producing a technical signal that analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) says has only appeared twice in the asset’s recent history. The MACD indicator on the two-week timeframe is on the verge of a golden cross.

This happens when the blue MACD line crosses above the red signal line from bearish territory. The analyst calls it “literally imminent,” saying it could trigger within one to two days.

What History Says

The signal carries weight because of what followed its last two appearances. In September 2022, XRP printed a golden MACD cross at approximately $0.53. That crossover occurred near the bottom of the bear market cycle. The asset eventually climbed to a peak of $3.65 in 2025.

The second instance came in October 2024. XRP produced the same crossover just before its 500% rally at the end of that year. According to the analyst, the digital asset delivered a 6x return in just a few weeks from that setup. Two data points establish the pattern and contributed to the same rally. A third crossover is approaching now.

The $1.60 Level Is the Key

The setup carries one major condition. XRP recently attempted to break above its EMA ribbons in the $1.60 to $1.70 range and got rejected. Steph Is Crypto says price needs to close and hold above $1.60 on at least one weekly candle for the bullish case to remain intact.

Holding that level confirms the structure and opens the path to a larger move. Failure to hold it raises the possibility of further downside.

What Investors Should Watch

The analyst’s view is clear. If XRP holds above the EMA ribbons and the golden MACD cross confirms on the two-week chart, he expects a major run for XRP comparable to what the asset produced in late 2024. He stops short of giving a specific price target for this cycle but references the prior 6x move as a benchmark for what a similar setup could deliver.

Steph Is Crypto’s analysis rests on a technically specific trigger with two historical precedents, both of which preceded significant XRP rallies. Investors’ immediate priority is the $1.60 level.

That range acts as the dividing line between a confirmed bullish setup and a potential bull trap. A sustained weekly close above it, combined with the MACD crossover, is what the analyst says would validate the signal.
