A recent market observation by crypto analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO has reignited bullish sentiment around XRP. In a post on X, he revealed that XRP’s liquidity map shows “empty air” above the $5 price level, suggesting minimal resistance in that zone. “If we break out, it’s a straight launch,” he declared, signaling that XRP could be on the verge of a major price acceleration.
Thin Liquidity and What It Means
Liquidity maps visualize areas where buy and sell orders are concentrated. When there’s “empty air” above a certain price, it means there are few sell orders to slow upward momentum. According to real-time heatmap data, XRP has already cleared several resistance levels between $3.00 and $3.50.
Now, the remaining price levels up to $5 appear relatively unchallenged. In technical terms, XRP is sitting in a low-resistance zone that could act as a runway for rapid price expansion if a breakout occurs.

This is not mere speculation. Historical patterns show that assets often surge through zones with thin liquidity, as there’s little opposition to price movement. Traders who rely on liquidity heatmaps understand that these gaps can act like vacuums, pulling prices upward with speed once momentum builds.
Technical Structure Supports the View
The technical setup around XRP reinforces this bullish outlook. After forming a multi-month consolidation pattern, XRP broke key resistance at $2.35 in June 2025. Since then, it has steadily climbed to the $3.00–$3.20 range, turning old resistance into new support. Analysts have identified this breakout as part of a larger measured move, with price targets extending to $5 and beyond.

Data from TradingView shows that XRP is now forming higher lows and successfully retesting breakout points, which is typically a bullish continuation pattern. If current support holds, the next significant move could propel XRP quickly past $4 and straight toward the $5 level.
Market Sentiment and Leverage
On-chain and derivatives data confirm heightened market activity. Open interest in XRP has surged, and leveraged long positions have grown sharply. While this can amplify gains, it also raises short-term risk. A failure to maintain momentum could trigger liquidations that briefly drive prices lower. However, the broader trend remains intact as long as XRP stays above its key support range around $3.00.
The bullish thesis is further supported by declining liquidity clusters above current levels. With fewer stop orders and limit sells crowding the zone between $3.50 and $5.00, there is little structural resistance to stop a rapid move upward, validating STEPH IS CRYPTO’s call.
