In his latest update, STEPH IS CRYPTO points to a decisive chart pattern forming on XRP’s daily timeframe. The cryptocurrency has been consolidating inside a falling wedge for 47 consecutive days, a technical structure that historically precedes strong bullish reversals.
During this phase, XRP successfully flipped a major resistance zone into support, strengthening its setup. According to STEPH, the most important level to hold is $2.77, marked by the 50% Fibonacci retracement from the June 22 low. If buyers defend this floor, XRP could surge toward $4.63 — a move representing a 61% gain from its current range.
Macro catalysts: liquidity, jobs data, and Fed policy
Beyond chart dynamics, macroeconomic forces are also tilting in XRP’s favor. Recent U.S. labor data revealed weaker job openings and rising unemployment claims, signaling a cooling market. This increases pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at its September 16–17 policy meeting.
Should the Fed pivot, the dollar would likely weaken while liquidity flows back into risk assets, including crypto. With inflation tracking close to the Fed’s 2% target, markets are already pricing in the likelihood of a cut. Such a policy shift could accelerate momentum in digital assets and amplify the upside potential STEPH outlines for XRP.

ETF optimism: institutional demand on the horizon
Another driver is the rising probability of a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). Analysts now place the odds of approval at about 87% before the end of 2025, a milestone that would grant institutional investors direct exposure to the asset.
Previous ETF launches, particularly Bitcoin’s, unleashed billions in inflows and redefined price discovery. For XRP, which already has deep liquidity and global utility, approval could be a turning point that strengthens demand across both retail and institutional markets.
Risks: divergence and the $4–$5 resistance zone
While the technicals and fundamentals align, STEPH warns of looming risks. On the weekly timeframe, XRP’s relative strength index (RSI) is flashing bearish divergence, with momentum waning even as price makes higher highs. This suggests that heavy resistance may emerge between $4 and $5.

Historically, such zones have triggered multi-week corrections in XRP, making risk management crucial. Traders are advised to scale out profits on the way up rather than waiting for potential exhaustion at peak levels.
A historical perspective: echoes of 2017
Looking back, XRP has shown similar behavior during previous cycles. In 2017, a five-wave impulsive structure carried the asset to unprecedented highs before a significant retracement followed.
Current price action mirrors that setup, with the ongoing wedge possibly forming the base of another leg higher. If history repeats, the next rally could take XRP into the $4–$5 range before a cooling-off phase sets in — a rhythm consistent with broader crypto cycles.
The bottom line
XRP’s setup is approaching a critical moment. A falling wedge on the daily chart, macroeconomic conditions pointing toward easier monetary policy, and strong ETF optimism all add fuel to the bullish case. STEPH IS CRYPTO’s immediate target sits at $4.63, but the $4–$5 resistance range remains a decisive battleground.
At its current price near $2.82, XRP offers substantial upside potential — but disciplined trading will determine whether investors capitalize on what could be the next major breakout.
