Analysts have flagged XRP's monthly momentum readings as more extreme than the 2020 COVID crash, with the token trading at $1.08, roughly 72% below its all-time high.

XRP's 70% Decline Post-$3.65 Peak: Fundamental Growth vs. Market Correction
Exactly one year ago, XRP reached a high of $3.65, a peak not sustained as the token subsequently declined by 70% to $1.08.
