In a recent video clip shared on his X account, popular crypto analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO made a bold proclamation: “The end is near, and it could make you very rich.” His claim centers on XRP’s current price action, which he believes is entering the final and most explosive phase of a classic Elliott Wave pattern.
According to STEPH, XRP is now in the fifth and final wave of a five-wave bullish cycle, similar to the one seen during the 2017 bull run. If history repeats itself, he argues, this last wave could push XRP into new price territory over the next one to two months.
Elliott Wave Structure: Why the Fifth Wave Matters
Elliott Wave Theory is a technical analysis framework that suggests markets move in a predictable five-wave pattern. The fifth wave typically marks the final upward surge before a significant correction begins.

STEPH IS CRYPTO believes XRP has already completed waves one through four, and that wave five, historically the strongest move, is underway. This theory is echoed by other analysts, including those at Elliott Wave-Forecast, who project an upside target between $3.80 and $4.50 if the wave structure plays out.
XRP Price Action: Bullish Momentum Builds
As of report time, XRP is trading at approximately $3.17, recovering from a recent dip to around $3.05. This bounce follows a strong rally earlier in the month when XRP hit a multi-year high of $3.66 on July 18. Market volume has surged to over $7 billion, indicating renewed interest and momentum behind the token.
The $3.00 level is acting as a critical support zone. Analysts note that as long as XRP stays above this threshold, the fifth wave scenario remains valid. A break above $3.30 could serve as confirmation of a continued push toward the upper resistance levels projected.
Institutional Catalysts and Market Sentiment
Beyond technicals, XRP’s bullish setup is being supported by strong fundamentals. Ripple is about to settle its legal case with the U.S. SEC, removing a major cloud over the project. Additionally, Ripple’s growing stablecoin ecosystem and cross-border payments infrastructure are contributing to increased demand.

Institutional analysts have taken note. Standard Chartered projects XRP to reach $5.50 in this cycle. Meanwhile, prominent traders like Peter Brandt foresee a rise to around $4.47, while others suggest a potential climb as high as $6 or more, depending on broader market conditions.
The Clock Is Ticking
STEPH IS CRYPTO emphasizes that time is of the essence. With the fifth wave unfolding, the next one to two months could mark the final leg of XRP’s parabolic rise in this cycle. Supporting this view, analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino has predicted a 333% rally for XRP within the next 40 days, potentially pushing prices toward $13 under ideal conditions.
While forecasts vary, the consensus is that XRP is poised for a significant move. If wave five delivers as expected, current holders could see major returns, but those sitting on the sidelines may miss out entirely.
Still, as with all markets, caution is warranted. Price targets are projections, not guarantees, and traders should watch for invalidation signals, especially if XRP dips below key support.
For now, the message is clear: the end may be near, but for XRP holders, it could be a spectacular one.
