Expert Says Most People Don’t Realize What’s About to Hit XRP. Here’s why

XRP has been trading below a downward resistance line since September 25. Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto says that resistance is now under serious pressure.

In a recent video shared on X, the analyst explains that XRP is making its first genuine attempt to break above that trend line since it formed.

Steph Is Crypto notes that the candlestick close chart, rather than the wick-heavy standard view, makes the signal easier to read. The analyst says a daily close above $1.31, preferably $1.32, would represent the earliest confirmation of a breakout.

MACD Cross Adds Weight to the Case

Alongside the trend line test, a bullish MACD cross is forming on the daily chart. Steph Is Crypto says the blue line is on the verge of crossing above the orange line, with confirmation expected within roughly 24 hours.

The analyst points to a comparable setup from August 18. That cross preceded a significant price rally for XRP over a short period. Steph Is Crypto says a similar outcome is possible if the daily candle closes above $1.31 in the near term.

Price Targets If the Breakout Holds

Steph Is Crypto identifies $1.40 as the first major target. A break above that level, the analyst says, opens the door to $1.44, $1.50, and potentially higher in the short term.

The analyst describes short-term bullish momentum as building but stresses that the daily candle close remains the key condition. Without it, the setup lacks confirmation.

Where XRP Stands

XRP’s current setup has technical analysts watching closely. The combination of a trend line test and a maturing MACD cross on the daily chart gives the current moment some weight.

Steph Is Crypto says most market participants remain bearish and expect lower prices. The analyst believes that sentiment may soon shift if the breakout conditions are met.
