Market analyst Steph has stated that XRP is undergoing its most difficult bull phase so far, but one that still has the potential to deliver significant returns. His comments follow the token’s renewed strength above the $3 mark . XRP briefly reclaimed this level in January 2025, the first time in seven years, before falling back below it and encountering repeated resistance. By mid-July, however, it had successfully regained the $3 threshold and had since established it as support, a development many observers view as technically favorable. Breakout From a Long-Term Trendline Steph’s analysis relies on the weekly chart, where XRP recently broke through a long-term descending trendline. This is the hardest #XRP bull market ever.

Historical Price Behavior Since 2022 The behavior of XRP around descending trendlines has been consistent since 2022. After the Terra market collapse in May of that year, the asset entered a prolonged downtrend. A breakout in September 2022 ended this stretch, carrying the price toward $0.55. Another descending line formed as XRP retreated from that level, remaining in place until July 2023. The favorable outcome in the SEC’s case against Ripple coincided with a breakout that pushed XRP to around $0.94. When the price later fell from that peak, it again established a downward structure, which persisted until the U.S. elections in November 2024. The subsequent breakout fueled a rally that culminated in a high of $3.4 in January 2025. Following this January peak, XRP declined and entered a five-month consolidation period around $2. This created yet another descending trendline, which was broken when the asset rallied above $3 in July. Steph regards this move as crucial, arguing that sustained closes above $3 confirm the breakout and strengthen the outlook for further gains. Conversely, a decisive loss of this level would weaken the bullish case and reintroduce the risk of $3 acting as resistance.

From the current price of $3.12, this would represent a gain of about 348%. He has congratulated those who held their positions through the initial reclaim of $3, noting that they are best positioned to benefit from a possible continuation. He has also reiterated his long-standing forecast, first outlined last November, that XRP could climb to $14 and that investors should consider preparing for such an outcome. Steph is not alone in this view. Earlier this year, the pseudonymous analyst Papa emphasized that XRP appeared to be “screaming higher” even while trading at $2, using Fibonacci targets to project a rally toward $14. Similarly, analyst JD suggested in March that $14 should be considered a minimum target for the ongoing market cycle. XRP’s repeated history of breaking descending trendlines and rallying afterward has created cautious optimism among analysts. The July reclaim of $3 is seen as a decisive step, and as long as this level holds, the technical structure supports the possibility of further upside, with $14 emerging as the dominant target.
