Expert to XRP Holders: This Could Get Much Worse. Find Out How Bad It Can Get

Crypto commentator Austin Hilton has a stark message for XRP holders: the pain may not be over yet. With XRP already trading around $1.03 after a 22% decline in 26 days, Hilton believes things could get worse.

His recent video discusses how much further the token could fall before any meaningful recovery takes hold.

XRP Drops 22% in 26 Days

XRP has been falling rapidly. The asset is down more than 6.5% and trading in the $1.03 range. Hilton describes the current environment as one of “bearish liquidity” with “bearish sentiment overall, basically running everything.” He sees no immediate catalyst to reverse that momentum.

Bitcoin is sliding toward the high $60,000 range. Ethereum is down 5.6%. XRP is absorbing heavier losses than many comparable assets.

Hilton Sees Sub-$1 as the Most Likely Outcome

Hilton has been consistent in his view. He told his audience he has “said this in plenty of videos” and believes XRP will fall below $1. His current price target sits in the “mid to low $0.90 range.”

He sets one condition for a steeper decline. If broader macro conditions worsen or fresh negative news arrives on the political front, XRP could drop further than that floor.

A Cluster of Macro Pressures

Several forces are driving the bearish outlook. The October CPI report came in at 0.4%, hotter than the expected 0.3%. While energy costs came in softer, groceries and general living expenses pushed the number higher. Hilton expects the Federal Reserve to respond with a rate hike at its December meeting, adding pressure across risk assets.

Reports of NVIDIA’s CEO allegedly aiding $7.5 billion in shipments to China also rattled sentiment. Hilton summarizes it: “bad news after bad news after bad news is what we’re seeing play out.”

Is This a Buying Opportunity?

Despite the grim near-term outlook, Hilton is not telling holders to exit. He says XRP is trading “dramatically lower” than its moving average, which he sees as a meaningful signal for long-term investors. He is personally acquiring XRP and other cryptocurrencies at current prices.

His reasoning is simple: “you buy on the red days.” He advocates a dollar-cost averaging approach for anyone who holds conviction in XRP’s fundamentals.

Hilton’s Position

Hilton is not spreading what he describes as “doom and gloom” or FUD. He frames the current environment as one that rewards patience and preparation. For holders who believe in XRP’s long-term value, he argues that these price levels present a genuine entry point. For those watching the charts closely, he says a bottom will eventually form.
