XRP holders should brace for another leg lower before any lasting turnaround, according to the independent analyst CrediBULL Crypto, who puts the likely floor near $0.90 and warns that a bounce toward $1.80 would not by itself signal a new bull market.
In a video posted to X, the analyst argued that the token's climb from roughly $1 to $1.70 represented nothing more than a move from the bottom of a long-running trading band to its top. XRP has spent close to nine months inside that range, and the boundaries still define its near-term path.
He pegs $1.80 as the critical resistance level and identifies a demand zone around $1.94 as a likely retest area. Even a push to $1.80, in his view, could stir optimism without confirming an escape from the range.
Using cross-pair analysis, CrediBULL Crypto said XRP/BTC has yet to reach support levels he considers untested, implying a further decline of about 20%. The XRP/ETH pair, by his count, needs at least a 10% pullback to reach comparable zones.

For XRP/USD, the analyst expects a drop of at least 20%, with the sub-$1 region as a probable destination and $0.90 as the zone from which a longer-term bottom could form.
Bitcoin's path sets the tempo
The cautious call does not rule out a short-lived rally. CrediBULL Crypto expects Bitcoin to sweep liquidity above its current range and recover toward $90,000, a move that could lift XRP and Ethereum together. If Bitcoin instead runs into firm resistance and reverses at that level, he expects XRP to fall harder, with the $0.90 demand zone coming into play.
That linkage makes the near-term XRP picture largely a function of Bitcoin's next move, and the analyst cautions against reading any brief surge as proof of broader market strength.
Long-term case stays intact
On a longer horizon, the tone turns constructive. CrediBULL Crypto noted that XRP has already traded above its prior peak of about $3.68 on some exchange charts, and he treats the current slide as an ordinary correction after such an advance.
He expects the token to carve out a higher low above its previous macro trough near $0.50 before launching a fresh ascent. That recovery, by his estimate, could carry XRP past $3.80 and eventually into double digits, with a target above $20. Reaching that level, he acknowledged, would take considerable time.
The analyst is known for wave-based technical analysis and has built a sizable following on social media. His framework leaves investors with two levels to watch: $1.80 on the upside as the test of range resistance, and $0.90 on the downside as the potential final bottom.
