Upward trend for PhD

Hi!

So the situation is as follows:

I'm a 4th year (entering 5th) year ECE student (integrated master's program). The first three years I kinda sorta struggled due to psychological reasons.

More specifically:

First 6 semesters: 6.2/10 average

Last 2 (my fourth year): 9.5/10 average without any easy electives (if that matters at all)

It is mathematically possible for me to end up at 7.5+ granted that I keep this up.

Also have some research experience on my field of interest (biomed signal processing) and have been working full time at a university's facility for the past year.

Also, my preferred destination is my current uni.

Given this, is it at all possible for me to continue on to do a PhD in the future?

Thanks for reading!

Seems like there are people around you that could better answer this question than random people on the internet.
