The crypto market stands at a critical turning point, and XRP is once again in the spotlight. After several weeks of indecision, the digital asset has reached a moment that could decide its next major move.
In a recent YouTube video, Steph delivered an urgent update to the XRP community. “This is literally the moment of truth for crypto and for XRP. We are right now at a key turning point,” he said, warning that XRP’s next weekly close may define both its short-term and long-term trajectory.
The Key Technical Level
Steph focused his analysis on XRP’s weekly chart. He explained that the coin is currently trading around the 50-week simple moving average (SMA). This level, he said, lies between $2.54 and $2.56.
He also corrected a chart label error, clarifying, “On the top left side of the screen, it says 200 SMA, but this should be the 50 SMA.”

According to Steph, this moving average has historically served as a powerful indicator of trend reversals. “Back in 2018, the moment XRP broke below this moving average with a weekly close, that was a bear market confirmation signal,” he explained. “Also in 2021, the moment we closed below was a bear market confirmation signal.”
He stressed that the current setup mirrors those previous moments. “We broke below it and the weekly candle, which closed yesterday, actually closed below this moving average. So this is by no means anything bullish.”
What XRP Needs for a Bullish Reversal
Steph outlined exactly what would be required to shift the outlook back to bullish. “For me to confirm a bullish reversal or to invalidate any potential bearishness for XRP, we would need to see the weekly candle — so upcoming Sunday — close above this yellow line,” he said.
This “yellow line” represents the 50-week SMA, which he views as XRP’s gateway to renewed momentum. “That is an important thing here in the macro,” Steph added, underscoring the importance of the coming weekly close.

Liquidity and Short-Term Patterns
Steph’s analysis also addressed the near-term picture. “It is clear that XRP is still seeing a lot of liquidity above us,” he observed. Most liquidity, according to his chart heatmap, is clustered near $2.80. “There is a little bit of liquidity building up below us as well, but the majority of the liquidity is above XRP’s current price,” he said.
He believes XRP could form a double-bottom or “W-shaped” pattern on the 12-hour chart. “If we break this neckline, then yes, XRP price could head a lot higher,” Steph said. He placed this neckline at $2.56, noting it as the crucial level to watch in the short term.
The Verdict
Despite short-term optimism, Steph emphasized the need for caution. “If we break above, if we hold above with a weekly candle, then that is very bullish, and then I do expect continuation further to the upside,” he explained.
However, he also warned that the market remains fragile. “I think there is a high probability for this, but I should also make you guys aware of the current facts… we are trading below the 50 simple week moving average. So pay attention to this.”
In conclusion, for XRP holders, this week may prove decisive. The outcome of the next weekly close could determine whether XRP resumes its bullish momentum or confirms another bearish phase. As Steph aptly summarized, “This is the moment of truth for crypto and for XRP.”
