XRP News Today: XRP Enters Final Bull Market Surge as Key Resistance Holds

Crypto analyst StephisCrypto has issued a strong warning to XRP holders, suggesting the cryptocurrency is entering the final phase of its 2025 bull market. In a recent video posted on Twitter, the analyst conducted a detailed technical analysis, drawing parallels between the current market structure and the 2017 bull cycle. The pattern includes an initial rally, followed by a period of consolidation, and then a final explosive upward move before a broader market downturn [1]. StephisCrypto emphasized that this final surge may present the most substantial gains for XRP investors this year but warned of the need for caution and timely decision-making [1].

According to StephisCrypto, XRP experienced a sharp rally earlier in 2024, followed by a six-month correction phase. This is similar to the 2017 cycle, where XRP saw a three-month rally, a six-month consolidation, and a final upward push before the market peak. The analyst believes the current situation mirrors that historical trend and suggests XRP is now in the final surge phase [1]. Additionally, the altcoin season index is currently at 41, far below the 75 threshold historically associated with a peak in altcoin momentum. StephisCrypto advised investors to closely monitor this metric for signs of an impending correction [1].

The analyst also examined XRP’s performance following Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, noting significant volatility. After the January 2025 meeting, XRP dropped by approximately 43% in one week, while the March meeting led to a 37% decline over two to three weeks. Although a later meeting resulted in a 27% increase, the most recent event coincided with a 12% decline. StephisCrypto highlighted that FOMC meetings have consistently introduced high volatility into the XRP market and recommended that investors remain vigilant as more such events approach [1].

Currently, XRP is trading above a key resistance level that had previously acted as a major barrier in late 2024 and early 2025. StephisCrypto noted that XRP had faced several rejections at this level, including a false breakout in January. However, the price has now held above $3 for multiple weeks, reinforcing a bullish outlook as long as the level remains intact [1]. The analyst also pointed to an upward-sloping trend line in place since 2021, similar to one Bitcoin recently broke, which led to a significant price rally. StephisCrypto believes XRP could follow a similar trajectory if it breaks above this resistance [1].

Looking at broader market sentiment, several analysts have intensified their warnings as the XRP market approaches a pivotal turning point. StephisCrypto described the current phase as a “final surge” for XRP in 2025, with the remainder of the year potentially being critical for the cryptocurrency’s trajectory [1]. Observations suggest that bearish pressure is waning, with key support levels like $3 remaining firm [3]. If XRP closes July above $3.03, some analysts, including Egrag Crypto, anticipate a strong bull phase could follow [4].

The urgency to accumulate XRP in 2025 has grown, as some analysts predict the next “buy the dip” opportunity may not arrive until 2026. This has created a sense of urgency among investors to act before that timeframe [5]. More optimistic forecasts even suggest a potential 200% price surge by September 2025, potentially pushing XRP toward $9 [6]. However, these remain speculative and should not be treated as confirmed outcomes.

Regulatory developments are also playing a role in shaping the market outlook. A potential move by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could pave the way for the first U.S. spot ETFs to track altcoins like XRP, with the September–October timeframe being closely monitored [7]. If approved, such a development could significantly boost XRP’s price and market legitimacy. Additionally, Coinbase’s upcoming launch of U.S. XRP and Solana (SOL) futures on August 18 has added further momentum to the market [8]. Analysts note that XRP price prediction models for 2025 are showing substantial potential returns, aligning with the broader bullish sentiment.

Despite the optimistic signals, caution is still advised. XRP has shown signs of a potential double bottom pattern, a classic bullish signal, but bearish pressure remains present [3]. Investors are encouraged to remain vigilant and monitor key price levels for signs of a sustained upward trend. StephisCrypto concluded his analysis by emphasizing that while the technical indicators are aligned with historical patterns, the market remains subject to macroeconomic events and rapid changes [1].
