Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto), a prominent crypto analyst, recently shared a chart examining XRP’s long-term performance. His post drew attention to a mean reversion for XRP, which sets a 2-digit price target.
He captioned a chart from 2014 to 2019. The chart presents a technical outlook that places XRP’s historical price action within cycles of overextension and undervaluation relative to a consistent upward mean.
It emphasizes that XRP tends to oscillate above and below a rising trend line, which Steph identifies as the mean. This framing suggests that XRP repeatedly returns to this central line after periods of overextension or undervaluation, consistent with the principle of mean reversion.

Understanding Mean Reversion
Mean reversion is a concept in financial markets where an asset’s price tends to return to its long-term average or mean after moving too far in one direction. In Steph’s chart, XRP’s price has historically risen far above the mean during major rallies and then spent extended periods correcting below it.
The most notable example occurred in late 2017 and early 2018, when XRP surged well above the trend line to hit an all-time high that lasted until July. This move was followed by a long-term correction, placing the asset in the undervalued range for years.
According to the current analysis, XRP has now moved back to its mean following several years of consolidation. The chart labels the previous undervalued range beneath the trend line and suggests that XRP may now be entering the early stages of another upward cycle.

Targets from the Current Setup
The long-term pattern depicted in the chart shows three distinct phases: the first rally in 2014, the explosive surge from 2017 to early 2018, and the consolidation period from 2019 through 2023. Each phase illustrates how XRP has oscillated between extremes before reverting toward its central trajectory.
Previous cycles indicate that XRP does not remain at the mean for long, as it either retreats below during corrections or climbs well above during bull markets. At present, XRP is positioned at a point where the chart suggests equilibrium with the mean. Steph’s chart provides a logarithmic projection that extends XRP’s mean line toward levels above $40 between 2026 and 2027.
Other well-respected analysts have shared similar targets for the digital asset. While the path is not guaranteed, the analysis implies that XRP has substantial room to grow if the pattern holds.
