Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto updated his XRP price prediction based on an analysis of various market indicators. According to the expert, the asset is approaching significant resistance levels.
Update on XRP Price Prediction
In his latest video, Steph Is Crypto compared Google search interest for XRP with its price chart. He noted that a surge in search interest in July 2024 coincided with a major price breakout, however, in August 2025, despite XRP reaching new highs, search activity has not matched previous peaks. This indicates a bearish divergence where price makes higher highs while retail attention declines. He emphasized that this pattern suggests the current rally is likely driven by institutional investors and long-term holders, rather than new retail buyers.
Strength Indicators and Resistance Levels
Steph also examined the price trends of XRP and Bitcoin on a weekly timeframe. He observed that while both assets have shown higher highs since 2024, their Relative Strength Index (RSI) has formed lower highs, indicating potential weakening momentum. He identified potential resistance for XRP between $4 and $5, while for Bitcoin, he estimated resistance between $125,000 and $130,000.
Altcoin Market Conditions and Macroeconomic Factors
Steph analyzed broader altcoin market conditions, presently reflected in an Altcoin Season Index of 53, indicating room for further growth. He discussed comments from Treasury Secretary regarding a potential 50 basis point rate cut, with market odds for such a move in September now at 90 percent following recent U.S. CPI data. While a market rally in September is anticipated, Steph noted that historically this month has not been strong for cryptocurrency markets.
Analyst Steph Is Crypto emphasizes that XRP has further upside potential, but it is important to closely monitor resistance levels and market signals indicating potential corrections. Additionally, he pointed out that high profitability levels among XRP holders could indicate possible sell-offs in the future.
