Crypto analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO published a tweet declaring, “XRP is COOKED. This is Actually Insane,” alongside a short video examining XRP’s current price structure. The post centers on a deliberate chart reversal intended to test how traders react to visual presentation rather than underlying data.

At the start of the video, viewers are shown a chart that appears to display a sharp downward move. The analyst asks, “Would you buy or sell XRP here? I think you would sell, right? Pretty obvious.” Presented in that orientation, the price action suggests continuation to the downside, prompting what many would consider a rational decision to sell.

Seconds later, he reveals what he calls “the catch.” The chart had been inverted. He then displays the correct version, showing the same price data in its proper orientation. With the accurate view visible, the structure changes entirely. Instead of an apparent breakdown, the chart shows a recovery from a recent decline.

He repeats the question: “Would you buy or sell here? I think we all would buy.” The contrast between the two perspectives forms the core of his message. The same data, when flipped, can lead to opposite conclusions. His video emphasizes how easily perception can influence trading decisions.

Correct Chart Shows Recovery Structure

The properly oriented chart, as seen in the attached snapshot, shows XRP rebounding from a steep drop and consolidating before moving higher. A projected arrow indicates the analyst’s expectation of further gains. The current price region is marked around the mid-$1 level, with the projection extending significantly above that range.

By first presenting the inverted chart, STEPH IS CRYPTO demonstrates how presentation alone can shape sentiment. What initially looked like a market in decline was, in fact, a market attempting to recover. The exercise focuses on the psychological element of technical analysis, particularly in volatile digital asset markets where rapid decisions are common.

The tweet’s opening statement suggests extreme negativity. However, the conclusion supports a constructive outlook once the chart is viewed correctly.

Mixed Responses From the Community

Reactions in the comment section reflect divided opinions. Brandon David (@Jediwookie33) criticized what he described as short-sighted reactions, stating that some individuals ignore long-term developments and asserting that XRP “WILL become the new rails for the financial system.” In contrast, gavin blanchfield (@gavinblanchfiel) posted, “Sell the lot its a dead rubber,” signaling a bearish perspective.

The exchange underscores ongoing disagreement within the XRP community. Through a simple inversion exercise, STEPH IS CRYPTO highlights how quickly sentiment can shift when visual perception changes, reinforcing the need for careful analysis before making trading decisions.
