XRP is trading at one of its most significant resistance zones in years. Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) recently released a video breaking down XRP’s technical picture, pointing to a price region from the 2021 bull market peak.
Steph stated, “If XRP manages to break above this region here between $1.65 and $1.80, if we close above this region, then I think we’re gonna fly off to new all-time highs.”
On the daily chart, the analyst identifies an inverse head & shoulders formation. This is a bullish reversal pattern. The neckline sits at approximately $1.52. XRP is currently trading above it, but Steph notes that the breakout needs to hold.
After switching to a line chart, he notes this is the first time XRP has meaningfully closed and sustained above that neckline level. If the hold confirms, the formation’s measured price target projects to $2.33.
That represents a +53% rally from the breakout point. Steph calculates a potential risk/reward of 9.2:1, placing a stop-loss near $1.44 and risking approximately 5.7% to target that gain.

Steph does not present a one-sided view. He identifies a bearish RSI divergence on the daily chart. XRP’s price recently printed a higher high, but the RSI produced a lower high. This signals a loss of momentum and raises the possibility of a short-term pullback.
He states, “It is a little bit uncertain here in the short term, especially considering that we already had a massive bump in just a couple of weeks here for XRP.” Profit-taking is another factor he flags. The asset has already moved substantially, so traders using leverage should exercise caution at this level.
Steph identifies $1.65 as the key confirmation level. In his view, a break and close above it would validate a move toward new all-time highs in 2026. Until then, XRP remains in a contested zone where both outcomes are technically possible.
Steph also touches on a few surrounding news items. Bitget temporarily suspended withdrawals following a security incident. A Canadian exchange reportedly restricted XRP purchases for at least one customer while other assets remained available. He calls it worth monitoring but not a conclusion.
He also flags an unverified quote attributed to a former JPMorgan executive claiming XRP could “retire many people by the end of the year.” Steph is clear that he has found no reliable primary source for the attribution.
