Not trying to be bearish, just honest. People should be prepared for the possibility of $0.50 XRP.
We recently lost a major support level, and there’s heavy resistance above us. I’m still long-term bullish, but markets don’t move straight up.
I took profits near the top and rotated into precious metals and other assets that hadn’t moved yet. The XRP I still hold isn’t being sold, it’s sitting in a regulated DeFi protocol, earning yield while I wait.
I bring up $0.50 XRP because of experience. In the 2021 cycle, I took a loan against my crypto thinking the market would hold. It didn’t. I nearly lost everything. That lesson changed how I operate.
A lot of people this cycle took loans against their XRP, often offered in services by major influencers. Borrowing isn’t bad, doing it during extreme volatility is. If anything, loans should be against stablecoins, not volatile assets.
Could $0.50 XRP happen? I think it’s more likely than not, and that doesn’t mean XRP is done.
Capitulation like this is often what sets up the next leg up.
This is also the season where real builders are born.
Bear markets are for studying, learning new ecosystems, testing ideas, and figuring out what you can build. Anyone can show up during bullish momentum, it takes conviction to stay when things are quiet.
If your portfolio is down, don’t panic. Use this time to sharpen your edge. History shows the people who stick around now are usually the ones who benefit most later.
Stay safe. Know What You Hold.
