$XRP Twitter is loud again. “Altseason soon”, “$10 is programmed”, “Don’t get left behind.” You’ve heard it all. But while the hype machine is running hot, one analyst is reminding traders where real money is made: patience, not FOMO.
According to Crypto Patel, the real story for XRP isn’t about chasing a $10 dream right now — it’s about respecting the chart.
Let’s zoom out. XRP is still down roughly 70% from its recent peak. Yes, it survived a brutal 96% crash in the past (from $3.28 to ~$0.10), so another collapse of that scale is unlikely. But that doesn’t mean downside risk is gone.
The $1 level is the battlefield. Not $10.
Patel highlights that buying near $1 only makes sense with small positions, not all-in conviction. Why? Because if $1 fails, the chart clearly shows a strong accumulation zone between $0.70 and $0.50 — an area where smart money is far more comfortable loading up.
That zone would likely:
Flush out late bulls
Reset market sentiment
Build a healthier base for the real move higher
On the upside, XRP still faces heavy resistance around its previous breakout area. Price has struggled to reclaim it cleanly, signaling chop and consolidation, not instant liftoff. A true altseason move requires a clean break and strong holding above resistance.
Bottom line:
$10 isn’t impossible — but it’s not imminent either. The next major XRP move probably starts with discipline, not excitement.
Sometimes the best trade… is waiting.
