Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto has updated his XRP price prediction after reviewing a series of market indicators that, according to him, suggest the asset could be approaching significant resistance levels. In his latest video , he compared Google search interest for XRP with its price chart. He noted that in July 2024, a surge in search volume coincided with the major price breakout. However, in August 2025, despite XRP reaching new highs, search activity has not matched previous peaks. This, he explained, represents a bearish divergence where price makes higher highs while retail attention declines. Steph stated that such a pattern indicates that the current rally is likely being driven by institutions, whales, and long-term holders rather than new retail buyers. He cautioned that although this is not an immediate signal for a market crash, historically, such divergences have often preceded local or cycle tops.

He observed that while both assets have made higher highs since 2024, their Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been forming lower highs, indicating potential weakening momentum. He emphasized that repeated touches of the current RSI trendline have often been followed by sell pressure, which could lead to a larger correction. For XRP, Steph identified potential resistance between $4 and $5, while for Bitcoin, he estimated resistance between $125,000 and $130,000. Profit-Taking Risk and Whale Inflows Another metric Steph highlighted was XRP’s percentage of total supply in profit, which currently sits above 95 percent. He pointed out that such high profitability levels have historically aligned with local tops as profit-taking activity increases. Although XRP has sustained these levels before without immediate correction, he warned that any sentiment shift could trigger heavy selling. Supporting this caution, Steph referenced data showing the second-largest whale inflow to Binance in XRP’s history. The largest was recorded in December of the previous year, shortly before a multi-month correction.

He also discussed comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent suggesting the Federal Reserve consider a 50 basis point rate cut, with market odds for such a move in September now at 90 percent following recent U.S. CPI data. Steph suggested that markets may rally into September as rate cut expectations are priced in, but cautioned that September has not historically been a strong month for cryptocurrency markets. Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) Technical Outlook In addition to XRP, Steph analyzed Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), noting that it has broken above the Gaussian channel on the weekly timeframe, a pattern he previously observed in 2021 before a major rally. He believes HBAR is positioned for further gains and could reach new all-time highs, possibly as soon as this month. He added that trading above the EMA ribbons on the weekly timeframe supports the view that the bull market remains intact, projecting that HBAR could reach around $0.50 in the near term. Steph concluded by reiterating his belief that XRP has further upside potential . However, he stressed the importance of monitoring resistance levels between $4 and $5.50 and remaining aware of market signals indicating potential corrections.
