XRP may offer a buying opportunity below $1, says an expert

XRP images they may offer a buy option below $1.05 as the bullish momentum fades.

After the price of XRP fell below its support level of around $2 in early 2026, it continued its 60% decline from the all-time high (ATH). As such, market analyst Ali Martinez now believes that XRP will drop below $1 soon. Martinez indicated that the price of XRP could find a strong support of $0.84, which represents a drop of 42% from its current price, and consolidate before its next bull rally, according to the analyst.

Martinez identified a support pattern over the past few weeks, based on a logarithmic scale, where the price of XRP has rebounded after each retest in the past two crypto bull markets. As a result, the price of XRP may provide a good buying opportunity for long-term buyers after another recent offering.

“This line could provide a buying opportunity for XRP,” Martinez he said.
