Market Strategist Has Urgent XRP Alert for Holders
Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) has identified a confluence of technical signals on XRP that has appeared at every major bear market low in the asset’s history.
Sentiment is at its most negative in months after a decline in early June, but the setup is drawing attention from traders who follow higher-period analysis.
The core of the analysis centers on the Gaussian channel, a momentum indicator that classifies price action as bullish or bearish based on its position within the channel’s range. On the two-week chart, XRP is currently sitting at the lower boundary of this channel.
According to the analyst, every prior instance of this occurring, in 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2022, preceded a significant bull run and marked the exact low of that bear market cycle.

Reinforcing the Bullish Outlook
A separate signal on the weekly chart reinforces the setup. XRP has maintained an upward trend line since 2024, and each time the price has touched it, a rally followed. This trendline kick-started XRP’s 500% rally in late 2024, and the asset is once again resting on that trend line, marking its second concurrent signal at a critical level.
Steph noted that combining these two signals appearing simultaneously is rare. Each one alone has historically been significant. Together, they form a stronger technical case than either would independently.
RSI Divergence Points to a Shift in Momentum
The third signal comes from the three-day RSI. XRP recorded a lower low between February and June of this year, but the RSI simultaneously printed a higher low. This is a classic bullish divergence, indicating that selling pressure is weakening even as the price falls.

Steph compared this directly to a divergence that appeared between May and June 2020. That setup marked the bear market bottom. From that point, XRP rose 1100% to its bull market peak. “While weak hands are exiting, are selling XRP at a loss, smart money is accumulating all of these coins,” Steph said, summarizing the dynamic he believes is currently unfolding.
Outlook and a Key Level to Watch
Steph stopped short of predicting an immediate reversal. He acknowledged that timing is uncertain, stating that no one knows whether a recovery will come “tomorrow, this week, next week.”
He did identify one condition that would change his outlook. A weekly candle close below $1 would signal invalidation of the current thesis. Some analysts have predicted that XRP could briefly dip below $1, but until that occurs, he views the setup as one of the strongest buying opportunities he has seen.

Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
