Brace for impact—XRP's latest bull run is shaping up to be its most brutal climb yet. Yet crypto analysts are doubling down with diamond-handed confidence: 'This is where fortunes get made.'
### The Pain Before the Gain
Market veterans call it the 'hardest' rally in XRP's history—volatility cuts deeper, pullbacks sting harder. But true believers? They're already eyeing exit liquidity from paper-handed traders.
### The Cynic's Corner
Wall Street still scoffs at 'magic internet money'—right before quietly reallocating pension funds into crypto ETFs. Meanwhile, retail traders ride the rollercoaster, oscillating between panic and greed.
### The Bottom Line
No pain, no gain? For XRP maximalists, that's not a question—it's a profit-taking prophecy. Just remember: in crypto, 'getting rich' rhymes with 'stomach-churning drops.' Buckle up.

XRP 1W Chart | Steph is Crypto
Meanwhile, following a slump from the $0.94 peak,
XRP witnessed another descending trendline. Nonetheless, it staged a breakout following the U.S. elections in November 2024 and eventually reached a new high of $3.4 by January 2025.
XRP Could Surge to $14 After Trendline Breakout
XRP again dropped from the $3.4 peak and consolidated around $2 for over five months, as it observed another descending trendline. However, the recent rally above $3 in July resulted in another breakout. Now, Steph believes the resulting price action could lead to another price uptrend.
His chart projects a possible uptick to $14 for XRP, representing a 348% increase from the current price of $3.12. Notably, while some have already sold off their holdings with the initial rally above $3, Steph congratulated those who have remained in the market, insinuating that they could see higher returns. Steph has consistently called for $14, urging investors last November to purchase XRP before it hits $14.
Interestingly, besides Steph, other market commentators have projected a possible XRP rally to the $14 mark. In May, pseudonymous analyst Papa claimed that XRP was "screaming higher." Despite XRP trading for $2 at the time, Papa predicted a rally to $14, citing Fibonacci targets. Last March, analyst JD predicted a minimal XRP target of $14.
