Crypto analyst StephIsCrypto has issued a cautionary update to XRP holders, pointing to near-term volatility that could impact traders using leverage.
Rather than focusing on general market sentiment, he provided specific chart-based insights, highlighting both short-term risk and the possibility of a strong rebound if historical patterns remain consistent.
His observations are centered on liquidation clusters and recurring structural trends visible across multiple XRP market cycles.

Short-Term Caution: Liquidation Risks Near $2.25
Steph emphasized that XRP’s current liquidation heatmap reveals a notable concentration of liquidity around the $2.25 level. According to his assessment, this cluster likely represents stop-loss orders and liquidation levels from long positions. He warned that traders using high leverage could be vulnerable to a sharp wick designed to clear out these positions.
This type of move, he suggested, could occur before any major upward move, serving as a reminder that sudden downside volatility often precedes broader trend reversals in volatile markets, such as XRP.
Examining Historical Price Structure Across Multiple Cycles
Transitioning from immediate risks to long-term structure, Steph analyzed XRP’s three-day timeframe, focusing on earlier cycles spanning 2014, 2020, and 2024. He used the 50-day simple moving average to compare price behavior across these years, identifying recurring characteristics in XRP’s macro performance.
In each observed cycle, a similar sequence emerged: a significant pullback around April, followed by a higher low around July, and a breakout above the 50-day moving average. After that, the asset tended to enter a prolonged corrective phase before delivering a strong rally later in the year.
Steph noted that this pattern was evident in 2020, when XRP surged strongly in November, and again in 2014, when a similar rally took place during the same period. He argued that the consistent timing of these movements indicates that XRP may be preparing for another decisive move, potentially starting as early as October but more likely by November.

Bullish Outlook Despite Short-Term Uncertainty
Despite highlighting the risk of forced liquidations, Steph maintained a bullish stance on XRP’s overall trajectory. His message suggested that current downward pressure does not contradict a broader bullish setup.
Instead, he views it as part of a familiar structure that has historically led to significant gains. By aligning current activity with past market behavior, he implied that temporary declines may be strategic rather than fundamentally driven.
He reiterated that while corrective movements can create uncertainty, they often precede substantial upward shifts, particularly once price reclaims key moving averages and liquidity is reset. For long-term holders, his analysis presents an optimistic view rooted in cyclical trends rather than short-term price fluctuations.
