XRP is at a pivotal moment, with analysts watching to see if it can finally break through a significant four-year resistance wall. After a strong rally that pushed its price above $3.12, the token is now pressing against a barrier that has consistently rejected its price since 2021. According to market strategist STEPH IS CRYPTO, a successful breach of this level could lead to a massive rally.
The resistance line, identified on the two-week chart, connects XRP’s 2021 peak with subsequent retests. A decisive close above this zone, particularly in the $3.15 to $3.25 range, would signal the end of a long period of consolidation. This kind of breakout could trigger a “multi-year squeeze,” where a rush of buying and short-covering pushes the price up rapidly. If the breakout is successful, analysts see $4 as the next key milestone.
This potential technical breakout is supported by a strong fundamental catalyst: the conclusion of Ripple’s legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The recent settlement, which included a $125 million fine, has removed the long-standing regulatory uncertainty that has weighed on XRP. With this legal cloud lifted, the focus can return to XRP’s core utility in payments and its potential for broader adoption, which could further fuel its price momentum.
