XRP is currently trading at $1.02, representing a decline of 14.6% over the past week. Analyst CrediBULL Crypto has indicated that this drop is not unexpected, though it has arrived sooner than he initially projected.
The forecast set up months ago
In a recent video published before the latest price movement, CrediBULL Crypto, a prominent market analyst known for his technical insights, outlined his outlook for XRP. He emphasized that his perspective was not bullish in the short term, noting a persistent retracement in XRP’s price following its all-time high reached in July 2025. The correction, which has continued for several months, resulted in XRP posting one of its longest losing streaks to date.
CrediBULL Crypto described this price pullback as a normal market phase, suggesting that XRP had returned to a significant consolidation area formed between July 2023 and November 2024. He stated, “This is exactly where we’d expect buyers to step in for a new base to form before the next impulsive move to the upside.”
The analyst argued that the recent rally to previous highs did not signify a breakout, as important resistance levels remained untested and the move lacked confirmation of a new cycle.
According to CrediBULL Crypto, technical indicators for both the XRP/BTC and XRP/ETH trading pairs suggested further downside risk. He set his minimum target for XRP/USD in the $0.60 to $0.90 range. Additionally, he anticipated that the XRP/BTC pair could fall another 20%, while the XRP/ETH pair had at least 10% more to decline.
| Pair | Minimum Downside Target |
|---|---|
| XRP/USD | $0.60 – $0.90 |
| XRP/BTC | 20% lower |
| XRP/ETH | 10% lower |
Where Bitcoin fits in
The analyst linked XRP’s price trajectory closely with Bitcoin’s movements, forecasting that Bitcoin could reach the $90,000 level before encountering significant resistance.
He projected that such a move by Bitcoin might be accompanied by a brief XRP rally, potentially taking XRP back to the $1.80 mark. However, he cautioned that this rally would likely be short-lived, with a stronger drop toward the $0.90 region expected following Bitcoin’s rejection from its supply area. The analyst considered the move toward this orange zone a precursor to the next market cycle for XRP.
Mini dictionary: “Orange zone” refers to a price range on a chart highlighted by technical analysts as an area of high-interest for either support or resistance, often suggesting a likely reversal or significant price action.
Current outlook and next moves
In his most recent updates, CrediBULL Crypto expressed that XRP and other major altcoins, including HBAR and CRV, are nearing “key regions on this pullback.” He suggested that a significant market reversal could occur if prices recover from these levels.
The analyst wrote that if a reversal takes place here, it “may be much more significant than just some temporary relief”—indicating potential for an aggressive new trend.
He believes present market weakness could set the stage for the scenario he has outlined for months. Once XRP enters the targeted orange zone, he anticipates renewed attention from investors and speculators. He ultimately remains convinced that, after the current downturn completes, XRP could stage a dramatic rally in a future cycle with the potential to surpass $20, though he stressed that the asset is not at that stage yet.
