- XRP analysts warn of repeating patterns that could signal renewed downside pressure.
- Market charts reveal conflicting signals as traders assess XRP’s next major move.
- Short-term rebound offers hope while long-term trends raise growing concern.
Fresh debate emerged across the XRP market after two well-known analysts, STEPH IS CRYPTO and Ali, shared updates that placed the asset under closer scrutiny. According to STEPH IS CRYPTO on X, XRP is developing a structure that resembles earlier patterns from 2018 and 2022, both of which preceded major downturns.
Moreover, the latest interaction near the $2 zone mirrors the previous points where XRP touched the 50-week simple moving average before entering extended weakness. Besides this repeating setup, the chart displayed three circled regions that highlighted XRP’s recurring behaviour around the key moving average.
Each region appeared during moments when momentum began to fade after strong rallies. Consequently, the 2025 point raised concerns as traders evaluated whether the asset could face another downturn based on its historical trend behaviour, as highlighted by STEPH IS CRYPTO.

Short-Term Bounce Adds a Second Angle
A different perspective came from market analyst Ali, who shared an update that pointed toward a short-term recovery. According to Ali, XRP recently bounced off the bottom of a visible price channel on the three-day chart. Additionally, the recovery sparked interest among traders who now watch for a possible push toward the channel midpoint near $2.60.
Hence, some short-term observers believe the market is showing resilience despite broader concerns raised by STEPH IS CRYPTO. Besides hinting at regained strength, the rebound suggests increased activity around the $2.20 to $2.30 region, where buyers appear to be defending key support levels.
Traders Weigh Conflicting Signals
Market participants now balance both views as they assess XRP’s immediate direction. According to the two analysts, the long-term pattern from STEPH IS CRYPTO points to caution, while the short-term channel formation from Ali supports a potential recovery. Moreover, analysts are closely watching how XRP behaves around these technical zones since each carries influence over sentiment.
Consequently, traders now assess whether XRP can extend its rebound or slip back into the long-term pattern that previously indicated weakness. The contrast between both analyses has encouraged wider tracking of XRP as it approaches key levels within its trend.
