XRP Army Reacts As Analyst Claims XRP Will Sweep Below $1 In 2026

XRP has had a rough stretch. The asset dropped significantly since June, sitting well below where many investors had hoped it would be by now. It has spent weeks sliding from the $1.30 range toward the $1 level, touching yearly lows along the way. The correction has been steady, and patience among holders is wearing thin.

XRP Will Sweep Below $1

ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA), a prominent analyst, recently posted a bold prediction, writing, “$XRP will sweep below $1 in 2026.” He also referenced a June 2 post in which he made the same call, showing this is not a new position. He has held this view for months, and many analysts agree, suggesting XRP will experience one final low before the next rally.

ChartNerd has covered this thesis across multiple analyses. He has pointed to the weekly EMA death cross that formed in January 2026, the rejection at the 20-week EMA in May, and the failure to reclaim resistance at $1.29 and $1.60 as signals that bears remain in control.

In a separate post, he stated there is “a very strong likelihood” that any bounce from current levels will be a relief rally before a final drop in Q4. His downside targets extend to $0.70.

$XRP will sweep below $1 in 2026.

How the Community Responded

Reactions to ChartNerd’s post were mixed. One person said he would welcome the move, viewing it as a chance to accumulate at lower prices. He pointed out that while many also claim to see it as a buying opportunity, they become afraid when the price actually drops to low levels.

Another commenter said XRP would not reach $2 until 2030, suggesting the decline will continue and the asset will keep struggling. Someone questioned what would happen if the call was wrong.

ChartNerd replied, saying that he would admit he was wrong and would accept the loss. The user responded again, suggesting XRP would sweep below $1 to shake bears before reversing sharply higher.

What to Expect

XRP is at a critical point, and other analysts believe a decline is coming. CasiTrades has also been calling for a final low, targeting $0.87 as her primary level, with $0.93 as an alternative. Dark Defender’s Elliott Wave analysis placed the fifth wave of the correction’s endpoint near $0.93.

The weight of analyst opinion from ChartNerd, CasiTrades, and Dark Defender points toward one more leg lower before any sustained recovery.
