XRP is approaching one of the most important price barriers on the chart – a resistance level that has held it back for nearly four years. According to market strategist Steph is Crypto, if XRP can break through this wall, investors could witness "the biggest explosion ever."
The four-year wall
Currently, XRP is trading around 2.9 USD, after a strong increase from below 1 USD earlier this year. This is a price not seen since 2021 – and it is also the point that is very close to the resistance area that has caused XRP to fail multiple times.
On the two-week frame, Steph is Crypto points out the resistance line connecting three important milestones:
Peak in 2021,
The retest in 2024,
And currently, the area around 3.12 USD.
Each time it touches, the price is rejected. But the repeated occurrences are no longer random – they are seen as a sign that the market is "building pressure" before a breakout.
If XRP closes above the 3.15 – 3.25 USD range with high volume, the entire 4-year accumulation phase could end, opening up the "powder keg" effect: the longer the accumulation, the more explosive the breakout.
Why is this threshold important?
Resistance is not just a line, but the result of many years of trading, where the majority of investors chose to sell. It forms a "supply wall."
If broken, this wall could turn into demand, creating a widespread short squeeze effect:
Buyers are rushing in,
Sellers are forced to buy back to cut losses,
Prices surge chaotically.
According to analysis, after surpassing 3.25 USD, the 4 USD mark will be the next target, and beyond that, there is significant growth potential.
XRP's great advantage this time
Unlike previous unsuccessful attempts to rise, this time XRP has an important fundamental factor: the legal battle with the SEC has ended. Ripple has accepted to pay a fine to settle, bringing the transparency that the market has been waiting for years.
When the legal burden is lifted, investor sentiment shifts towards the core value of XRP: fast, cheap, and practical cross-border payment solutions. This is the "fuel" for the upcoming breakout scenario.
The decisive moment
In the community, many people liken the current situation to "the calm before the storm." And the saying from Steph is Crypto is spreading strongly:
👉 If XRP breaks through the historical resistance, "the biggest pump of a lifetime" will no longer be an exaggeration – but could mark the beginning of a new growth cycle for the entire crypto market.
