XRP is pressing against one of the most significant technical barriers in its history, and analysts believe the outcome could set the stage for a monumental rally. Market strategist STEPH IS CRYPTO has highlighted this moment, declaring that once XRP breaks above its multi-year resistance, investors could experience “the biggest pump of your lifetime. XRP is trading around $3.12, consolidating after a powerful surge that lifted it from sub-$1 levels earlier this year. The token now sits at its highest range since 2021, building pressure just beneath a long-term ceiling that has repeatedly dictated its price action. The Multi-Year Resistance Structure The chart shared by STEPH IS CRYPTO captures the heart of the setup. It plots XRP on a two-week timeframe and shows a resistance line connecting three pivotal touchpoints: the 2021 peak, a 2024 retest, and the current 2025 level at $3.12845. Each attempt to break above has failed, reinforcing this line as a formidable cap. Once #XRP breaks this multi-year resistance, you'll witness the biggest pump of your lifetime! pic.twitter.com/NAzt1i0tvB — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) August 17, 2025 Now, XRP is testing it once more. Technical analysts stress that a sustained close above this line, confirmed with heavy volume, would represent the official breakout of a nearly four-year structure. Long consolidations of this kind often precede explosive moves , making the current moment particularly critical. Why This Breakout Matters When a resistance level holds across multiple years, it builds up immense supply pressure as sellers consistently dominate at that point. If XRP breaks and holds above it, that supply flips to demand, triggering a rush of buyers. Traders refer to this pattern as a ‘multi-year squeeze,’ where years of built-up resistance suddenly release, leading to rapid and aggressive price growth.

Analysts see the next psychological milestone at $4, with room for far greater extension if momentum accelerates. Context Supporting the Rally While the technical picture is the centerpiece, improving fundamentals has also reduced uncertainty. Ripple’s long legal battle with the U.S. SEC effectively ended earlier this month with a financial penalty, allowing the market to shift focus back to XRP’s role in payments and adoption. With the regulatory cloud lifted, the stage is clearer for technicals to dominate. STEPH IS CRYPTO’s analysis zeroes in on what may be XRP’s most important moment since 2021. The multi-year resistance that has capped growth for four years is now under siege, and history suggests a breakout could unleash the move that defines market cycles. For XRP investors, all eyes are on this ceiling — because once it breaks, the “biggest pump of your lifetime” may not just be a prediction, but a reality.

The Bitcoin price has been on an interesting trajectory over the past few weeks, setting new all-time highs along the way. More recently, the premier cryptocurrency surged to a new all-time high above the $124,100 mark. The Bitcoin price has since succumbed to significant bearish pressure, hovering around the $118,000 region for most of the weekend. A prominent crypto trader on the social media platform X has identified levels that could be pivotal to the coin’s future trajectory. $117,500 And $114,500 Are Next Support Levels: Glassnode Data In a recent post on the X platform, crypto analyst Ali Martinez pinpointed two support levels that could prove crucial to the Bitcoin price’s movements over the next few days. This evaluation is based on the cost-basis distribution of the Bitcoin supply. Related Reading: Bitcoin Under Pressure? Rising Exchange Inflows Signal Potential Supply Build-Up Martinez highlighted the cost basis distribution (CBD) metric, which looks at the average cost basis of the total Bitcoin supply within various price brackets. As observed in the chart below, the CBD metric utilizes a heatmap with fixed price bracket levels (on the vertical axis) over a specific period (on the horizontal axis). The CBD chart shows that there is a significant cluster of investor cost-basis distribution around the $117,500 and $114,500 Bitcoin price levels. This basically indicates the presence of several investors who likely purchased their coins around these price regions. According to data from Glassnode, 72,900 BTC and 56,201 BTC were acquired from around the $117,500 and $114,500 levels, respectively. Martinez earmarked these $117,500 and $114,500 levels as the next critical support zones for the market leader. These price regions could act as support cushions because investors—who have been in the green—are likely to defend their positions by buying more coins when the Bitcoin price returns to their cost bases; and this fresh buying activity could then help keep the price afloat. It is worth mentioning that the Bitcoin price could be at risk of a severe correction if it breaks beneath the $114,500 support, as no major price cushion seems to be in sight. Bitcoin Price Overview As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $117,600, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours. This past-day action mirrors the current indecisiveness in the world’s largest market. According to CoinGecko data, the flagship cryptocurrency is up by a mere 0.7% in the last seven days.

When the economy slows, the majority of investors retreat but the wiser investors take it to be an opportunity to position during the next big wave. Such periods may present special opportunities to acquire wealth in the cryptocurrency market, which has both extreme volatility and great upside potential. Although uncertainty is a turn-off to some people, some are discovering that disciplined purchase and a well thought-out revenue generator can make a recession work to their benefit. Some analysts believe that certain early entrants could see returns as high as 90x in this cycle — and projects like MAGACOIN FINANCE are already catching the eye of those looking to secure positions before the next major rally. DCA – A Steady-Handed Approach Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to handle market turbulence. By investing a fixed amount at regular intervals — say $100 in Bitcoin each week — you spread out your purchase price over time. In a recession, when markets can swing sharply, this consistency helps reduce the pressure of timing the market perfectly. The real strength of DCA is that it keeps emotions in check. Instead of reacting to every dip or rally, you follow a plan, gradually building your portfolio without second-guessing every move. For beginners, it’s also approachable because it doesn’t require deep market knowledge or complex chart analysis. A Great New Opportunity for the Next Big Run While steady accumulation is a proven path, many investors also allocate a portion of their portfolio to high-growth opportunities. MAGACOIN FINANCE has been making waves as one of the most promising entrants in the current cycle. With limited early allocations and a development roadmap aimed at expanding utility for holders, it’s been compared to the early stages of some of the most successful coins in history . Market models indicate that early buyers could potentially see returns of up to 90x in the next cycle, making it a key name on the watchlist for forward-thinking investors. Staking – Let Your Crypto Work for You Staking is another method of keeping your portfolio effective during a downturn. You earn your reward in the same cryptocurrency by locking your tokens in the participating network to support the proof-of-stake networks, just like the interest on a bank deposit. At least these rewards would mitigate losses of a shrinking market and with re-investment these perpetual dividends would increase your holdings as time goes on. When used together with staking, DCA forms a very strong cycle, as you constantly find more crypto, and then get it to work and earn profits immediately. Thinking Long-Term As history tends to demonstrate, the periods of crypto winter tend to produce the most profitable purchasing conditions. Middle of quiet, bear markets are when assets are bought, and will normally generate incredible returns when the next bull run occurs. During uncertain times, bitcoin is likely to remain stable and therefore is a safer asset but altcoins have the potential to experience even more dramatic rallies when the crowd reverses. As always, it is always important to remain cautious- Only invest what you can afford to lose particularly in a recession when your personal finances may already be strained. Conclusion Recessions should not imply getting out of the market. By using such tactics as a DCA, staking, and smart exposure to high-upside plays, investors may create smaller setbacks into a preparation stage and another explosion. And as platforms such as MAGACOIN FINANCE that show strong potential become available, it will be those who are positioned early that reaps the benefit when the market returns.
