Crypto markets have plunged with sudden intensity, shaking confidence and forcing investors to reassess positions. In just 24 hours, over $230 billion vanished from the global cryptocurrency market, creating turbulence across major tokens. Amid this chaos, XRP has stood out for its relative resilience, drawing attention from analysts and traders watching for early signs of a broader trend.
Levi Rietveld of Crypto Crusaders addressed this volatility in a video shared on X, highlighting XRP’s current critical moment. “If you hold XRP, you have 24 hours,” Rietveld warned, framing the token’s short-term trajectory as a decisive signal.
While Bitcoin fell 7.7% and Ethereum dropped 12.54%, XRP declined only 10.61%, outperforming most alternative coins. The strategist emphasized that this performance, though better than peers, still reflects heightened risk.

XRP Shows Relative Strength Amid Market Chaos
Rietveld highlighted XRP’s relative stability compared to other assets during the sell-off. “If you thought that was crazy, I mean, you guys should go ahead and look at what’s happening in precious metals and silver right now and gold,” he said, noting that silver lost over 30% in 24 hours while gold also faced significant downward pressure.
This comparison illustrates that XRP, despite its decline, remains comparatively resilient in an otherwise chaotic market environment.
Geopolitical Uncertainty Fuels Volatility
Rietveld linked the sharp swings in crypto prices to broader geopolitical and institutional factors. The ongoing international tensions, and macroeconomic uncertainties have created an environment ripe for abrupt market moves.
“We’re going to see the true impact of this next week, when the institutions really start entering the equation, and they start putting their money where their mouth is,” he explained, pointing to potential large-scale buying or selling that could reshape short-term price dynamics.

Implications for XRP Holders
For XRP holders, the strategist’s warning frames the next 24 hours as a critical window. The token’s resilience may attract both short-term buyers and institutional participants, but it also exposes holders to sudden volatility if support levels fail.
Rietveld’s commentary underscores the need to monitor the market closely, recognizing that XRP’s outperformance so far does not guarantee immunity from broader trends.
Preparing for What Comes Next
Rietveld’s analysis highlights a key lesson: in uncertain markets, timing and strategy are crucial. XRP’s relative strength positions it uniquely among altcoins, but upcoming institutional moves and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty could drive rapid swings.
For traders and investors, understanding the interplay between market sentiment, macro factors, and token performance will define the coming days as a decisive period for XRP.
