Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto), a well-followed analyst on X, has revealed a worrying pattern on XRP’s chart. The analyst shared a 3-day chart focused on the EMA ribbon, a trend tool that has repeatedly aligned with extended downside phases.
The chart shows XRP slipping below the ribbon as it flips toward a bearish phase. This setup has preceded every major decline in this timeframe.
On the 3-day $XRP chart, every time the EMA ribbon flips bearish and price holds below it, a major drawdown follows.
These moves weren’t quick wicks — they were multi-month trend declines, ranging from −27% to −66%, with deeper losses occurring when the ribbon stayed bearish… pic.twitter.com/1zOeYHY74G

A Repeating Signal on the 3-Day Chart
Steph summarized the pattern clearly. On the 3-day chart, “every time the EMA ribbon flips bearish and price holds below it, a major drawdown follows.” He stressed that these moves were not brief reactions. They developed into sustained declines that reshaped market structure.
The chart marks several historical examples. Each bearish flip led to multi-month downturns rather than sharp wicks. Recorded drawdowns ranged from 27% to 66%. Deeper losses appeared when the ribbon stayed bearish for longer periods. According to the analyst, “so far, this signal has no exceptions.”
This history gives the current setup added weight. XRP now trades below the EMA ribbon on the 3-day chart. The ribbon itself has turned bearish, and XRP’s price continues to respect it as resistance, a behavior seen before previous declines accelerated.
Context From Past Market Cycles
Earlier cycles on the chart reveal a consistent rhythm. After strong rallies, XRP consolidated near the EMA ribbon. Once it lost support and the ribbon flipped, sellers gained control. The declines unfolded over months. Recovery only followed after its price reclaimed the ribbon and restored bullish alignment.

The chart also shows that shallow corrections occurred when bearish conditions resolved quickly. Larger losses followed when the bearish structure persisted. This distinction matters now, as XRP remains below the ribbon.
Can XRP Break this Cycle?
A reversal scenario exists, but XRP tends to mirror historical performance. The asset is trading at $2, and would need to reclaim the EMA ribbon on the 3-day chart and remain above it. Until that happens, the chart remains consistent with earlier bearish phases.
Steph Is Crypto did not forecast a specific target or timeline. His post focused on structure. The signal has appeared before, and each time, the outcome followed the same path. The absence of exceptions in past data emphasizes what XRP will do next.
