In a recent communication to the XRP community, crypto YouTuber Jesus Martinez emphasized the common regret among investors who miss early buying opportunities. In his post on X, he pointed out how many wish they had acquired Bitcoin at $1,000 or XRP at $0.10, and he now sees the market offering another significant chance to buy at lower prices.
Martinez”s remarks came as XRP was working to recover from one of its steepest corrections in recent times. The token had recently plummeted to a local low of $1.11, following a broader market sell-off that coincided with Bitcoin“s drop towards $60,000. This decline represented a roughly 70% decrease from XRP“s peak of $3.66 in July 2025. However, the token quickly rebounded, rising nearly 38% to reach $1.53 before retracing again; currently, it trades around the $1.35 mark.
This sharp recovery has prompted some analysts to suggest that a bottom may be forming for XRP. Market analyst ExtraVOD has identified a potential support base forming between $1.23 and $1.30. He suggests that a confirmation of this range could lead to a price surge towards $4.20. Furthermore, he anticipates a bull market expansion that might target values around $10.
Other seasoned market observers have drawn parallels between the recent downturn and previous cycles in the history of XRP. They note that significant price drops have often preceded robust recoveries. Historical instances include declines from $3.30 to $0.115 and from $1.96 to $0.28, both followed by substantial rallies towards the $3.60 level.
Despite the prevailing fear in the market, several prominent investors have disclosed their buying activity during this downturn. Notably, media personality Patrick Bet-David revealed that he acquired both XRP and Bitcoin during the recent sell-off. Similarly, market commentator Coach JV confirmed multiple purchases of XRP, noting that periods of fear are often when wealth is built.
As XRP hovers near $1.30, some community members are already strategizing their long-term exit plans. XRPL developer Bird expressed intentions to take profits at $10, $27, and potentially higher. Analyst Zach Rector has also set a target of $7, likening XRP“s current market structure to the historical breakout cycle of silver that preceded a major rally. He regards the $7 mark as a psychological midpoint within a $5-$10 bullish range, contingent upon a sustained price reversal.
Martinez”s insights resonate with a recurring theme in the cryptocurrency markets: the sense of hindsight regret. Many investors reflect on past price levels and wish they had acted sooner. With XRP still trading significantly below its previous high of $3.66, some view the $1 range as an ideal zone for long-term accumulation, while others remain cautious, noting the possibility of a dip to $0.50. The recent rebound from $1.11 has slightly shifted market sentiment from panic towards cautious optimism. Whether this truly represents the “next best opportunity” will depend on XRP“s price movements in the coming weeks.
