Ripple’s (XRP) $1 Breakdown Could Get Worse Before It Gets Better

XRP has struggled to hold its ground in August and is facing renewed downside risk after slipping below the psychologically important $1 level. Analysts are now warning that the crypto asset could have further room to fall before establishing a durable market bottom.

Battle Around $1 Intensifies Crypto analyst Patel expects XRP to potentially decline another 20%-40%, which puts the projected macro accumulation zone between $0.85 and $0.65. The outlook comes after the token suffered a steep decline from its cycle peak.

In fact, XRP is down by over 70% since July 2025. Rather than viewing the current weakness as an immediate buying opportunity, Crypto Patel’s analysis points to the range as an area where macro accumulation could become more attractive if selling pressure intensifies.
