$XRP just dropped to about $0.95, and what strikes me isn't the round number. It's how quietly it got here.
On Binance, XRP is down about 7% in 24 hours and sits near $0.95, the lowest level since November 2024. Back on October 1 it traded around $1.49, so we're talking roughly 36% gone in six weeks. Crypto Rover flagged the break below $0.98 and called it a rout across altcoins. The data backs him up: SOL is down more than 9% today, BTC is around $65K.
I've seen this pattern in every cycle. When the leader gets hit, money doesn't rotate into altcoins, it leaves them first. Alts are the high-beta end of the market, so they fall faster than they rise. In 2018 and again in 2022, the coins with the loudest stories were the ones that bled longest.
The one-dollar level mattered psychologically. Once a coin loses a level everyone was watching, the buyers who defended it start thinking about their exit instead of their entry. That's usually when selling stops being about news and becomes about fatigue.
I'm not calling a bottom. What I want to see is boring: volume drying up, the daily candles getting smaller, and sellers simply running out of patience. Until then, I treat every bounce as a question, not an answer.
For those holding XRP through this: would you buy it back at a dollar, or has the story changed for you?
