Crypto analyst Steph has issued a warning to XRP investors regarding the 
current price action. He alluded to a multi-year resistance that the altcoin 
has struggled to break, noting that this should be the major focus as it eyes 
new highs. XRP Needs to Break Above the $3.6 Resistance In an X post, Steph 
shared a video in which he analysed the XRP monthly chart, dating back to the 
2020 bull run. He highlighted an upward-sloping trendline for the altcoin, 
which showed that the altcoin has faced rejection at around the $3.6 level 
twice now. The first was in January of this year, when the altcoin surged to a 
yearly high. Related Reading: Expect A “Biblical Move” Off This Formation; 
Analyst Tells XRP Investors Meanwhile, the second has occurred again following 
the XRP’s latest rally to a new all-time high (ATH) around this $3.6 
resistance. Steph declared that the altcoin needs to break above this multi- 
year trendline resistance, as it risks falling into “an ugly period of 
downward momentum” if it can’t flip this level into support. However, if XRP 
breaks above this resistance, Steph predicts that it could record a parabolic 
rally, which would send its price into double digits. The crypto analyst is 
more confident that the altcoin will break this resistance, noting that other 
bullish patterns support sustained bullish momentum. In the short term, Steph 
predicts that XRP could rally to as high as $4.42. He highlighted a double 
bottom breakout on the 4-day chart, which is still in play for the altcoin. He 
assured that XRP could still maintain this upward momentum despite the current 
pullback in the broader crypto market. However, if this bearish trend in the 
crypto market sustains for a while, he warned that the $3 support level is the 
one that XRP needs to stay above to avoid losing its bullish structure. The 
analyst expects a lot of buying pressure if the altcoin were to drop to this 
support level. What Next As The Altcoin Retests $3 In an X post, crypto 
analyst CasiTrades noted that XRP was unable to hold the $3.21 resistance and 
has now fallen back to test the $3 support. She stated that the altcoin 
appears to have completed a subwave wave 2 of a new trend, reaching a deep 
.854 retrace. If this new low holds as support, then she suggested that it 
could kickstart a large impulse to the upside. Related Reading: XRP Is About

CasiTrades predicts that XRP could reach new highs if volume begins to rise 
and the price starts moving back above the $3.21 resistance. She noted that 
the first wave 3 sits near $3.82, which is the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Her 
accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could reach $3.8 on this next run- 
up. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.16, up over 
2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image

Tron Inc. (Nasdaq: TRON), the publicly listed company with the largest 
holdings of the TRON (TRX) token, marked a major milestone on Thursday with a 
ceremonial visit to the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square. Tron Founder and 
the company’s Global Advisor, Justin Sun, rang the opening bell, signaling a 
new chapter for the blockchain firm. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales 
Accumulate Over $4.1B In ETH In Two Weeks – Details Coinciding with the event, 
TRON released its Q2 2025 earnings report, revealing robust growth across key 
metrics. TRON’s market capitalization surged 17% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) to 
$26.5 billion, while revenue jumped 20.5% QoQ to reach $915.9 million—both 
standing as multi-quarter highs. The report signals rising institutional 
interest and growing adoption of the TRON ecosystem at a time when broader 
crypto markets face mixed sentiment. As the blockchain sector matures, TRON’s 
blend of aggressive expansion and strong fundamentals appears to position the 
company favorably in the eyes of both retail and institutional investors. With 
this dual milestone—market debut and strong Q2 performance—TRON is sending a 
clear message: it&#8217;s here to lead. TRON Reports Deflationary TRX Supply, Record 
Stablecoin Growth In Q2 TRON’s Q2 report highlights a deflationary shift in 
TRX supply alongside strong network growth and stablecoin dominance. The 
circulating supply of TRX declined from 95.0 billion to 94.8 billion tokens, 
reflecting an annualized inflation rate of approximately -1.8%. While this 
marks a slightly higher inflation rate than Q1’s -1.6%, it still points to 
deflationary pressure on TRX, reinforcing its value proposition amid broader 
market uncertainty. Network activity also showed solid growth during the 
quarter. Daily average transactions rose 12.6% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), 
increasing from 7.7 million to 8.6 million, while daily active addresses 
climbed 5.9% QoQ from 2.4 million to 2.5 million. These metrics suggest rising 
user engagement and expanding utility across the TRON ecosystem. Stablecoin 
activity remains a cornerstone of the network’s success. TRON’s stablecoin 
market cap surged 22.2% QoQ, rising from $66.2 billion to an all-time high of 
$80.9 billion. Tether (USDT) continues to dominate, accounting for 99.2% of 
the stablecoin supply on TRON. By the end of Q2, the USDT market cap on TRON 
reached $80.3 billion, a 22.2% increase from the previous quarter. Notably, 
TRON now hosts 50.6% of all USDT in circulation, underscoring its role as the 
leading blockchain for stablecoin activity. Related Reading: Bitcoin Pullback 
Remains Within Normal Volatility Range: Drawdown Analysis Shows No Signs Of 
Panic TRX Price Holds Above Key Support TRON (TRX) is showing resilience 
following its strong Q2 performance, holding steady above key support levels 
despite recent market volatility. As of the latest 8-hour chart, TRX is 
trading at $0.3163, up 0.48% on the day. After reaching a local high near 
$0.34 earlier this month, TRX experienced a mild pullback but has since 
stabilized and is now consolidating in a tight range. Price action remains 
bullish, with TRX trading above the 50-day ($0.3084), 100-day ($0.2935), and 
200-day ($0.2840) moving averages—an indication of strong medium- and long- 
term momentum. The recent bounce from the 50-day MA suggests buyers are 
actively defending short-term support zones, reinforcing the overall uptrend.

door to a retest of the $0.30 psychological level. For now, the bias remains 
cautiously bullish. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
