Top Analyst Says XRP Is a Ticking Time Bomb. Here's why

In recent months, XRP has been trading within a range that has kept investors watching for a decisive move. Following a sharp rise between November 2024 and January 2025, the asset entered an extended consolidation, finally breaking out in July.

This breakout saw the asset rise to a new all-time high of $3.65 and also break above the resistance level. The asset is now retesting it from the upside, and the analyst believes this is a bullish confirmation that could kickstart a massive rally.

XRP, The Ticking Time Bomb

Steph described XRP as “a ticking time bomb,” pointing to the alignment of the breakout, consolidation, and potential upside projection. The chart shared includes a dotted trajectory suggesting a possible move toward the $10 to $14 range over the longer term.

The current price is holding above $3, showing resilience despite broader market fluctuations and notable losses from early August. This stability above the former resistance could be an early sign of sustained momentum.

Will XRP Sustain this Momentum?

The structure on the chart reflects a period of accumulation following the breakout. The asset’s price has compressed within a tight range, trading just above the green trendline, with several tests of support holding firm.

Historically, such consolidation phases after trendline breaks have preceded large upward moves. Traders watching this setup will likely look for confirmation through volume expansion and strong closes above recent highs.

XRP’s performance over the past year has also been shaped by the legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The resolution of this high-profile lawsuit has removed a major source of uncertainty for the asset.

With that issue now settled, attention has shifted to technical and macroeconomic drivers. The breakout highlighted by Steph is one such factor now influencing sentiment.

If buying pressure increases and the price maintains its position above the former resistance, XRP could swiftly reach double-digit prices.

Conversely, a failure to hold above the trendline could lead to a retest of lower support zones. With the market at a critical technical juncture, XRP holders and traders are closely monitoring price behavior in the coming sessions for a confirmed breakout.
