Investors who stay patient through the current pullback could be among the 
biggest winners when market sentiment eventually turns — at least according to 
one analyst who has been tracking XRP closely through this period of weakness.

Brandt A Floor That Holds XRP is not expected to collapse below $1, based on 
the analyst&#8217;s reading of current market conditions. The token has been trading 
near the bottom of its recent range, weighed down by a broader crypto selloff 
that has pushed Bitcoin below key support levels and rattled confidence across 
the market. The analyst, speaking in a video report, pointed to the $1.20 area 
as a likely floor before any meaningful recovery begins. That level, in his 
view, represents the kind of final washout that has historically preceded 
major rallies — a pattern he says is playing out again now. Geopolitics Behind 
The Pressure Much of the near-term risk, according to the analyst, comes not 
from crypto fundamentals but from the Middle East. Escalating tensions in the 
region have raised fears of a major crude oil supply disruption, with reports 
pointing to declining oil inventories, drawdowns in Japan&#8217;s strategic 
petroleum reserves, and renewed conflict between Iran and Israel. Idle vessels 
in the Gulf are reportedly dealing with operational issues that could slow 
energy transportation further. Even if a peace deal materializes, supply 
chains may take months to fully recover, the analyst warned. That overhang, he 
argues, keeps the door open for another round of selling across risk assets — 
crypto included. Stocks Are Flashing Yellow Traditional markets are not giving 
investors much comfort either. The US bond market has remained stuck in a 
prolonged drawdown, and while the S&amp;P 500 has pushed to fresh highs, those 
gains are concentrated in a small number of companies. Market breadth is thin, 
and valuations are at historic extremes. The analyst&#8217;s advice: skip the 
overheated equity trade and pay attention to assets that have already gone 
through serious corrections. Related Reading: Ethereum Signals Strength As

Denied XRP&#8217;s long-term case remains intact, the analyst said, with a major 
rally expected later in 2026. He plans to keep buying on weakness and views 
the current climate — heavy selling, widespread fear — as exactly the kind of 
setup that precedes outsized gains. Even large institutional buyers have been 
unable to stop prices from sliding, reports note. But the analyst sees that as 
a feature, not a flaw, in a market that tends to reward those who hold through 
the hard stretches. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
