The popular cross-border token plunged hard recently, going from a January 6 peak of $2.40 to just over $1.10 during last Friday\u2019s market-wide massacre. After crashing by over 50% within a relatively short period, it bounced off but remains sluggish below $1.40, still showing a 25% decline on a year-to-date scale.<\/p>\n
The consensus in the cryptocurrency community is that the bear market has already begun<\/a>, given the fact that not only XRP but BTC and many other larger-cap alts have plunged by 50% or more from their heights in 2025. As such, analysts have started to speculate<\/a> where each asset\u2019s bottom might be and how much pain investors would have to endure before they see a trend reversal.<\/p>\n ERGAG CRYPTO, who is among the most well-known and bullish members of the XRP army, mapped out two potential scenarios for Ripple\u2019s cross-border token. In the first chart, the bottom is presented at $0.60, which would essentially erase all gains charted after Trump\u2019s presidential election victory in late 2024 and push the asset back to its starting point at the time.<\/p>\n This chart comes with a deeper drawdown, continuous fear and disbelief, and weak hands getting flushed. On the upside, XRP could go on a sublime run once the market reverses and the bulls take over, with the analyst predicting a surge to a $11 top.<\/p>\n #XRP<\/a> \u2013 Chart 1 or Chart 2?<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t opinion. It\u2019s math, structure, and market behavior.<\/p>\n Markets don\u2019t reward comfort. They reward conviction under pressure.<\/p>\n Choose your pain or pain will choose you.<\/p>\n Chart 1: \u2014 EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) February 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n The alternative in ERGAG CRYPTO\u2019s mapping was a second chart showing lower volatility ahead in both directions. The bottom would be around $0.90, while the top could be $8.5.<\/p>\n This scenario would provide investors with more comfort and less pain, but its upside potential would also be lower, the analyst added.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, both bottoms seem more likely to be reached, while the tops appear quite far-fetched. After all, XRP would have to skyrocket by 3x (or more) from its 2025 all-time high of $3.65 before it can challenge the double-digit price levels. In contrast, going to $0.90 or even $0.60 in the current market environment seems rather reasonable.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, market trends can change extremely quickly, and XRP has proven in the past that it\u2019s capable of remarkable runs. After the US elections, it went from $0.60 to $3.40 in just a few months, which is a 466% surge.<\/p>\n The post \u2018Choose Your Pain, XRP Investors\u2019: Analyst Maps Out 2 Paths for Ripple\u2019s Price<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The popular cross-border token plunged hard recently, going from a January 6 peak of $2.40 to just over $1.10 during last Friday\u2019s market-wide massacre.
