XRP has fallen 72% from its cycle top, with market analysts now watching lower support levels as the token remains under pressure. Crypto Patel said XRP could face another 20% to 40% decline before a new expansion phase develops.
The analyst placed XRP’s potential macro accumulation zone between $0.85 and $0.65. Crypto Patel said the area could offer a more favorable entry range, although the analyst did not identify a confirmed market bottom.
XRP Faces Further Downside Risk
Crypto Patel said a bearish setup identified in July 2025 had warned that XRP’s rally was losing structure. The analyst had advised traders to consider taking profits above $3 and warned that a larger correction could follow.
XRP has since declined about 72% from its cycle peak, while the analyst also cited a 52% drop from the confirmed breakdown level. Crypto Patel said the price action supported the earlier warning and maintained that capital protection should remain a priority during periods of declining prices.

The analyst expects XRP to remain under pressure before any sustained recovery develops. Crypto Patel said, “I still expect another 20%-40% downside,” while adding that capital would not be deployed into the market through a single entry.
Analysts Watch $0.85 as Key Support
EGRAG CRYPTO also identified $0.85 as a potential macro support area for XRP. The analyst said most of the XRP position had been accumulated between $1 and $1.20 and identified $1.60 as the next major level that could confirm a stronger structural recovery.
EGRAG CRYPTO outlined a sequence of $0.85 defense, $1.60 reclaim, $3.25 breakout and $6.50 expansion. The analyst described $6.50 as the more realistic measured-move target while placing $222 in an extreme logarithmic expansion scenario.

The analyst also compared logarithmic and non-logarithmic chart measurements. A non-logarithmic measured move produced a target near $6.50, while the logarithmic calculation produced a much higher level near $222.
Ripple Expands XRP Ledger Infrastructure
Beyond XRP price action, Ripple has continued developing infrastructure around the XRP Ledger and RLUSD. Ripple launched Ripple Mint, a platform designed to help institutions mint, redeem and manage RLUSD while supporting transfers between fiat and supported blockchain networks.
Ripple also invested in Notabene, an onchain verification company, with plans to integrate RLUSD into Notabene Flow for business-to-business stablecoin payments. The move adds another institutional use case for Ripple’s stablecoin infrastructure.
Ripple separately invested in ZILO and Licuido to expand its tokenization and asset management infrastructure on the XRP Ledger. ZILO provides transfer agency and fund administration technology, while Licuido focuses on asset tokenization and liquidity.
The companies were already Ripple partners before the investments. Their integration adds services covering asset issuance, ownership records and collateral use, while RLUSD can provide the settlement layer for related transactions.
