In a brief but powerful video posted on X, crypto analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO spotlighted a <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-technical-analysis-spots-bullish-golden-cross-formation/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">critical technical signal for XRP: the formation of a golden cross</a>, where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average. According to the analyst, the last time this pattern emerged, in September 2024, XRP went on a massive rally. Now, history may be repeating itself.
<h2 id="b-xrp-s-price-action-momentum-builds-b">XRP’s Price Action: Momentum Builds</h2>
As of report time, XRP is trading a $3.22 with visibly increased volume. The rally follows XRP’s recent local high of $3.66 reached in mid-July, which marked its strongest price performance in years. The move has helped establish a new trading range between $3.34 and $3.66.
Both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages now sit well below the current price, reinforcing the bullish outlook. Momentum indicators remain strong, and market sentiment is increasingly leaning in favor of further gains.

<h2 id="b-why-the-golden-cross-matters-b">Why the Golden Cross Matters</h2>
The golden cross is widely recognized as a medium- to long-term bullish indicator, especially when accompanied by increased trading volume. It occurs when the short-term moving average (50-day) rises above the long-term average (200-day), often signaling the start of a sustained uptrend.
For XRP, this is more than just a technical event. In November 2024, a similar golden cross led to an explosive rally from the $0.50 range to $3.39 by mid-January—a gain of over 460%. Market analyst Ali Martinez has also <a href="https://timestabloid.com/last-time-this-indicator-flashed-a-golden-cross-xrp-soared-630/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">identified similar historical patterns</a>, noting that XRP’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio once flashed a golden cross just before a 630% price surge.
Adding to the optimism, the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-forms-first-ever-golden-cross-against-bitcoin-heres-the-significance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP/BTC trading pair recently showed its golden cross</a> on the weekly chart, signaling renewed strength against Bitcoin and suggesting broader market confidence.
<h2 id="b-regulatory-clarity-and-institutional-tailwinds-b">Regulatory Clarity and Institutional Tailwinds</h2>
XRP’s bullish setup is supported not just by technicals, but also by recent regulatory breakthroughs. On August 7, 2025, <a href="https://timestabloid.com/big-news-for-xrp-sec-and-ripple-jointly-dismiss-appeals-the-case-is-over/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission officially dismissed their appeals</a>, bringing their long-standing legal battle to a close. This final resolution removes a major cloud over XRP and opens the door for greater institutional participation.

Analysts now expect XRP to benefit from increased investor confidence. Technical patterns like the bull-flag formation currently in play suggest possible upside targets ranging from $8 to $15, depending on broader market conditions and ETF developments.
Bitget analysts have projected XRP could reach $5 by year-end, with others forecasting $7 or more in especially bullish scenarios. These predictions are supported by rising volume, growing adoption, and regulatory certainty.
<h2 id="b-a-pivotal-moment-for-xrp-b">A Pivotal Moment for XRP</h2>
With STEPH IS CRYPTO calling attention to this latest <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-golden-cross-flashes-analyst-foresees-big-breakout/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">golden cross</a>—just like the one before XRP’s historic rally in 2024—the signals are hard to ignore. Now trading above both key moving averages and bolstered by bullish sentiment, XRP may be gearing up for its next major breakout.
If current support around $3.20 to $3.30 holds and buying pressure continues, XRP could soon make a run toward $4–$5, with the potential to reach $6 or more under strong market conditions. All eyes are now on volume and confirmation of a breakout beyond resistance.
As the technical and fundamental stars align, XRP appears to be entering a critical phase—one that could define the rest of its 2025 trajectory.
