Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto has modified his prediction for XRP’s price following a review of market indicators that suggest the asset may be approaching key resistance levels. Analyzing Google search volume for XRP compared to its price chart, Steph observed a surge in searches coinciding with the major price breakout in July 2024. However, despite reaching new highs, search activity has not matched earlier peaks as we enter August 2025. This bearish divergence, where price reaches higher highs while retail interest declines, according to Steph, points toward this rally likely being driven by institutions and long-term holders rather than new retail buyers. He warns that while this is not an immediate market crash signal, historically, such divergences have preceded local or cycle tops. Analyzing XRP’s weekly RSI alongside Bitcoin’s, Steph highlighted how both assets show higher highs since 2024, but their RSI forms lower highs, signaling potential weakening momentum. Repeated touches of the current RSI trendline frequently follow sell pressure, potentially leading to a correction. For XRP, he identified resistance between $4-$5, while for Bitcoin, he estimated resistance at $125,000-$130,000. Another metric Steph highlighted is XRP’s percentage of total supply in profit, currently exceeding 95%, which historically aligns with local tops as profit-taking activity increases. Although this has held before without immediate correction, he cautions that any sentiment shift could trigger heavy selling. Supporting his caution, Steph cites data showing the second-largest whale inflow to Binance for XRP. The largest was recorded in December of the previous year, shortly before a multi-month correction. Further analysis by Steph included looking at broader market conditions and the Altcoin Season Index’s movement. He also discussed comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent suggesting the Federal Reserve consider a 50 basis point rate cut, with market odds for such a move in September now at 90 percent following recent U.S. CPI data. Steph suggested that markets may rally into September as rate cut expectations are priced in, but warned that September has historically been weak for cryptocurrency markets. He finished by reiterating his belief in XRP’s potential but emphasized the importance of monitoring resistance levels between $4 and $5.50 and staying alert to market signals indicating potential corrections.
