ChartNerd dropped fresh insights on June 8 about the XRP cycle π€ and it looks like this bear phase has been way gentler than the ones before.
What the Historical Comparison Shows
Past drawdowns stretched 400 to 790 days with 85% to 90% crashes from the peaks while the current one has clocked roughly 350 days at a softer 70% dip from the July 2025 high of $3.65. Those milder stats suggest the pain might ease sooner than expected and that shrinking severity could signal something important brewing beneath the surface π. βThe territory for marking a historical bottom between now and EOY is fast approachingβ he noted βthese prices are where we need to start paying attention to the fact that although the chances of an immediate expansion might be low a cycle bottom could genuinely be on the horizon.β More downside could still hit in the months ahead before the true low settles then an accumulation grind kicks in followed by runs toward the Fibonacci targets of $8 $13 and $27. The 2014 cycle stands out as the weird exception with its brutal 96% slide over just 210 days yet it dragged more than 1,200 days before surpassing the prior high including a wick low late in 2017 ahead of the January 2018 peak.
Where XRP Stands in the Broader Picture
XRP sits near $1.15 right now down about 12% from last week and 19% from a month ago after tapping a 19-month low at $1.05 before a quick bounce toward $1.20 here. Spot XRP ETFs pulled in a net $2.62 million last week which feels like a tiny win when Bitcoin funds dumped over $1.7 billion and Ethereum ones lost $173 million. Only the HYPE ETFs did better grabbing nearly $17 million while Litecoin Avalanche and Hedera trackers saw zero flows.
