Analyst to XRP Holders: Respect Bear Markets or Be Eaten Alive. Here’s why

Crypto analyst ChartNerd shared a new XRP market chart, arguing that the asset remains undervalued despite failing to sustain several major bullish narratives over the years.

The post focused on XRP’s historical price action following key events tied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and broader market expectations.

The chart compared multiple XRP cycles dating back to 2014 and highlighted several deep corrections after major rallies. According to the graphic, XRP experienced declines of roughly 95%, 85%, and 96% during earlier market phases labeled “XRP No SEC Suppression.”

Another section marked “XRP Under SEC Suppression” showed an 85% decline following the lawsuit. The most recent portion of the chart, labeled “$XRP Cleared The SEC,” displayed a projected or ongoing correction of around 65%.

ChartNerd argued that many XRP holders expected stronger price performance after major legal and political developments, but said those narratives have continued to weaken over time.

In the post, the analyst wrote that XRP “wasn’t meant to send post-SEC” in the way many traders expected. He added that several bullish expectations since July 2025 have faded and warned investors to “pay respect to bear markets” or risk significant losses.

ChartNerd Warns Traders About Bear Market Conditions

Despite the cautious tone, ChartNerd maintained that XRP remains undervalued and “not priced in.” However, the analyst also stressed that undervaluation does not guarantee immediate upside. He stated that the asset could still move lower before any stronger recovery develops.

The post reflected ongoing frustration among XRP traders who expected sustained momentum following Ripple’s legal progress against the SEC and the broader shift in U.S. regulatory sentiment.

Many investors believed that clarity surrounding XRP’s legal status would trigger a larger long-term rally. Instead, XRP has struggled to maintain upward momentum during broader market weakness.

Community Debates Whether XRP Adoption Has Truly Started

Several community members responded by pointing out how previous bullish catalysts failed to create lasting gains. XRP & HBAR European commented that XRP was expected to rise after the lawsuit, political changes involving President Biden, and the appointment of a new SEC chair. The user added that the latest major narrative now centers around the proposed CLARITY Act.

Another user, documenting XRP, argued that XRP actually reacted positively to the legal developments but only in the short term. The commenter said the token “nearly doubled” following the news but explained that the move reflected headline momentum rather than real adoption or utility-driven demand.

Crypto user Syntrix also reinforced the bear market argument raised by ChartNerd. The commenter stated that XRP “cleared the SEC” but still “dropped right back down anyway,” adding that bear markets tend to overpower positive developments regardless of the news cycle.

The discussion around the chart reflects a growing divide between long-term XRP holders who remain confident in future utility adoption and traders focused on the market’s current bearish structure.
