Crypto commentator Zach Rector believes XRP may be approaching the final phase of its current bear market, even as he warns that another decline below the $1 level remains possible.
While acknowledging the potential for additional downside, Rector indicated that he views the move as a buying opportunity rather than a reason to exit the market.
In his latest post on X, Rector pointed to XRP’s significant decline from its previous yearly peak, stating that the asset has already fallen roughly 72% from its all-time high reached last year. Based on that performance, he suggested the market is nearing the end of its bearish cycle.
Accompanying his post was a weekly XRP chart highlighting the scale of the correction. The chart measures a decline of approximately 75.4% from the previous peak, showing that a move to $0.90 would align with a typical 75% bear market retracement. Key price levels, including approximately $3.32, $1.96, and $0.90, were also marked on the chart as notable reference points.
XRP already down 72% from ATH last year.
The bear market is wrapping up and although I do expect a final move below $1 I do not think it will last very long! A 75% drop would bring us to about 90 cents.
I just added to my XRP LONG at $1.055 in the meantime 🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/AkoTrukaED— Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) July 28, 2026
Analyst Adds to XRP Long Position
Despite expecting one final move below the psychologically important $1 mark, Rector said he does not expect the price to remain there for long. He maintained that a decline to roughly $0.90 would fit the historical pattern illustrated in his chart and could represent the final stage of the correction.
Reflecting that outlook, Rector disclosed that he had increased his long position. He said he added to his XRP holdings at approximately $1.055 rather than waiting for a possible drop to $0.90. His comments suggest he believes the current price range already offers value, even if short-term volatility pushes the asset slightly lower before a recovery begins.
The chart attached to his post reinforces that perspective by comparing the projected decline with the size of the previous correction, implying that XRP may be approaching an area where selling pressure begins to weaken.
Community Responses Reflect Mixed Views
The post attracted differing reactions from members of the XRP community. One commenter, Valerie M, said she has been watching a similar price zone and agreed that a brief move below $1 would not be surprising if the broader cryptocurrency market experiences one final correction. She also noted that such prices may only be available briefly and emphasized the importance of avoiding excessive leverage during periods of heightened volatility.
Not everyone shared Rector’s outlook. Another user, Sharks, questioned the repeated expectation of a final downward move, joking that if they received $1 every time Rector predicted “one final push,” they would have become a multimillionaire.
Although opinions remain divided over XRP’s next move, Rector’s latest analysis makes his position clear. He believes the majority of the bear market has already played out, expects only limited downside from current levels, and has chosen to increase his exposure ahead of what he believes could be the market’s next major phase.
