A critical moment is unfolding in the XRP market. Price action, liquidity data, and macro forces are aligning in a way that demands attention. Traders sense uncertainty, yet the chart structure shows a narrow path that could define the next major trend. Every monthly close now carries weight, and ignoring it could prove costly.
In a detailed video analysis shared on X, STEPH IS CRYPTO broke down this turning point with unusual clarity. His observations form the backbone of this report. After the first mention, he will be referred to as Steph.
The $2 Monthly Level Is the Decisive Pivot.
XRP is sitting directly on the $2 monthly zone. That level marked the 2017 cycle peak. It now acts as a major point of control. A monthly close below $2 would expose deeper support levels.
The next major zone sits near $1.60. That level served as a key monthly rejection area in 2021. A deeper breakdown could extend toward $0.70, which acted as strong resistance in 2023. Yet, if XRP holds above $2, bullish momentum can recover quickly.

Momentum Indicators Are Sending Conflicting Signals
Steph notes a powerful weekly bullish signal. The weekly stochastic RSI has fully bottomed out. Historically, that setup produced strong rallies in XRP. However, the monthly MACD has flipped bearish.
Previous bearish monthly crosses led to extended downside periods. This creates a mixed environment. The market may bounce soon, but could face a larger correction after that move.
Liquidity Above Price Suggests a Future Short Squeeze
The liquidation heat map shows huge liquidity above $3. Those levels include billions in leveraged positions. Markets often move toward heavy liquidity to trigger liquidations. A squeeze could unfold if buying pressure lifts the price above $2.21.

That zone is the key confirmation level for bulls. Once reclaimed, the structure shifts from defensive to constructive. Yet, until that occurs, the market remains vulnerable.
Market Interest Is at a Yearly Low
Search activity for XRP has dropped sharply. Retail interest sits at yearly lows. Steph emphasizes that low interest often marks major accumulation periods. Crowds typically return only after price rallies.
Market history supports this pattern. Low interest can signal a developing bottom, not a final collapse.
Macro Conditions Add Another Layer
The Federal Reserve delivered a 25 basis-point cut. The Fed also announced $40 billion in Treasury bill purchases. Officials stressed that these buys are technical operations, not full quantitative easing. Still, additional liquidity can support risk assets. Crypto markets often respond to liquidity changes before other sectors.
What Comes Next for XRP
The monthly close remains the central trigger. A close above $2 keeps bullish hopes alive. A close below that level opens the door toward $1.60. Trend confirmation requires a break above $2.21. Until then, caution matters. Steph’s warning is clear. Watch the levels. Trust the data. Avoid emotional judgment.
XRP is approaching a decisive moment. The chart will reveal the next direction soon.
