After a flood of documents and photographs from the Jeffrey Epstein files

XRP has slipped below a level that, for much of the past year, acted like a 
structural anchor for the chart: the $1.95 area. Crypto analyst Guy on the 
Earth (@guyontheearth) argued that XRP has now closed under that zone on a 
higher timeframe, calling out the two-week chart specifically. “For the first 
time in 13 months XRP has closed under this monthly support at $1.95 on the 2 
week chart,” he wrote. “It’s the second time on the weekly this has happened 
with April tariffs being the first.” The 2-Weekly Close Is Crucial For XRP 
From there, his analysis went straight to the downside implication. “The 
technical target of this break down is 90c,” he added. “Do with this 
information what you have to. Everyone must make their own decisions at this 
time. The goal is getting back above $1.95.” The way he laid it out, $1.95 was 
not simply a mid-range price level but the lower boundary of a broader 
consolidation “rectangle.” Losing it, in that framework, opens the door to a 
measured move lower — with the reclaim of $1.95 as the key invalidation.

Should Investors Remain Bullish? He also offered a risk-management approach 
for holders who are uncomfortable sitting through a potential continuation 
move. “If you are uncomfortable holding your bags with this breakdown &#8211; sell 
to reduce risk to where you feel comfortable,” he wrote. “Buy back on a close 
above $1.95 on the daily ( or a timeframe that you believe in) and your % loss 
of XRP is next to nothing. But should we go to 90c you are looking at a 
further 50% loss in capital.” For those treating the move as an opportunity 
rather than a warning sign, he mapped out incremental levels he views as 
potential buy zones on the way down. “Alternatively if you believe in XRP 
longer term and don’t like trading at all &#8211; keep buying on the way down,” he 
wrote. “Key levels are at $1.61, $1.42 and finally the 90c target and the 75c 
initial breakout.” Even in a bearish framing, he cautioned against assuming a 
straight-line cascade into every marked level. “We have went in a straight 
line down for weeks so it is unlikely that these targets would all be hit 
imminently,” he said. “$1.42 lowest this week if things get really ugly &#8211; not 
massively likely but possible with this breakdown and a big sell off in BTC to 
lower lows.” Related Reading: Here’s Why The XRP Price Keeps Crashing Not 
everyone agreed with the choice of timeframe used to call the breakdown. One 
account, XRP whale (@cryptoXRPwhale), pushed back on the premise: “2 week 
chart is not significant. You can’t choose a specific timeframe and say it’s a 
structure breakdown that fits your narrative… lol” Guy responded by 
reiterating that the level being referenced is higher-timeframe support, not a 
short-term marker. “Look at the chart. It held 13 months and now broke 
structure,” he wrote. “The lower boundary is monthly support. I&#8217;ve said all 
this.” There was also an attempt in the replies to flip the bearish target 
into a bullish setup. “Any price under $1 will be short-lived &amp; sets $XRP up 
for a stronger push to the upside past ATH,” wrote Lawrence Bensen 
(@Lawrence_Bensen), referencing prior cycle lows and a reported wick below $1 
on Binance earlier in the cycle. Guy acknowledged the point while keeping the 
technical math intact. “Yeah for sure &#8211; it has already been to 90c on Binance 
[on October 10],” he wrote. “I think we will recover before going as low as 
90c &#8211; but that is the technical target of losing this consolidation.” His 
near-term bias, meanwhile, leaned toward caution largely on liquidity 
conditions rather than an absolute conviction that $0.90 must print. “My bias 
is that I find it hard to believe at Christmas people are going to throw heaps 
of money in this market,” he wrote. “Low liquidity has been an issue anyways 
and this week wont help. So the slow bleed continues.” At press time, XRP 
stood at $1.89. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
