Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto), a prominent market analyst, has released a new video in which he warned investors that most traders will miss the next major move in XRP because they are reacting to fear rather than opportunity.
In his detailed review of XRP’s current structure, he explained that the market’s sentiment has fallen to an extreme level. According to him, the crypto fear-and-greed index has once again hit 25, a point that has historically marked strong buy zones for XRP.
He highlighted that similar readings in August 2024 and April this year preceded sharp rallies, even though prices initially appeared weak. “This is always a very good buying opportunity on the daily time frame,” he said, pointing to the recurring pattern where fear leads to major rebounds.
Steph suggested that XRP’s current conditions mirror those of earlier setups and that investors who hold through volatility could soon be rewarded.

Historical Patterns Indicate a Possible Turnaround
Drawing on previous market cycles, Steph analyzed how long periods of fear tend to last before recovery begins. He noted that in August 2024, XRP remained in a fearful state for relatively 33 days before price strength returned, while in April the recovery took roughly 40 days.

Based on this pattern, he projected that XRP’s current fear phase, which began on October 12, could last until mid or late November. “If this would take us another 30 days, then roughly on the 10th of November we can expect a major recovery,” he explained.
Extending that timeline by another 10 days, he said, would align with his broader outlook that November and December could bring significant price improvement for XRP and the wider market.
Whales and Market Pressure
Steph highlighted that wallets holding over one million XRP have sold heavily since October 16, dropping their total holdings from 26.18 billion to 25.1 billion XRP. He said this sell-off contributed to XRP’s decline but reflected broader market weakness.
Even so, Steph noted that XRP remains above an ascending support line on the three-day chart. “Price is getting compressed here in an apex,” he said, suggesting that a breakout could follow as liquidity accumulates above current levels, reaching up to $4.
Extreme Fear as Opportunity
The analyst warned that most traders could miss the next move because they act on fear. He stated that buying or holding during extreme fear has historically yielded gains. “Opportunity never actually feels like opportunity,” he said, calling the current market a potential accumulation phase before recovery.
