Market data suggests $XRP may be “criminally undervalued” at current prices, as monthly RSI hits its most oversold levels since the 2022 bottom.
$XRP has not escaped the ongoing crypto market onslaught, down 24% year-to-date, having lost over $26 billion in market value this year. However, with the token now changing hands at $1.39, data suggests that $XRP may be “criminally undervalued” at the current price, amid a drop in its monthly RSI to 2022 lows.
Key Points
- $XRP has dropped 24% this year, losing more than $26 billion in market value as the ongoing downtrend drags on.
- The downward push resulted in a 16% drop in February 2026, representing $XRP’s largest monthly decline in a year and the sixth consecutive monthly loss.
- Despite a mild recovery effort in March 2026, with a 1.46% rise this month, $XRP’s technicals still look weak, as it trades for $1.39.
- However, data shows that, at this price, $XRP’s monthly RSI has crashed below 45, indicating that the token remains highly undervalued.
- The last time $XRP’s monthly RSI dropped to these lows was during the 2022 bear market, when the price crashed to the cycle bottom of $0.2910.
“$XRP Criminally Undervalued”
Notably, this structure was recently highlighted by Doctor Profit, a well-regarded market technician, as $XRP continues its struggle within the broader market downturn. Since the downward trend began in Q4 2025, $XRP has dropped 51%, also down 61% from its July 2025 all-time high of $3.6, as it trades for $1.39.
Interestingly, Doctor Profit insisted that $XRP remains “criminally undervalued” at this price. This comes despite multiple other analysts suggesting that $XRP still has room for steeper declines below the $1 mark, possibly reaching $0.9 before eventually shooting up to a new peak above the $8 level.
$XRP Monthly RSI Hits 2022 Levels
While he does not explicitly call the current level $XRP’s bottom for this cycle, Doctor Profit stressed that the asset has already hit extreme oversold levels. To make his case, the market analyst called attention to $XRP’s monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI), which recently hit historic lows.
For context, the chart data shows that the monthly RSI recently slipped to 43.7. Although this reading does not point to an oversold position (<30) in general terms, historical data indicates that whenever the monthly RSI dropped to similar levels in the past, it marked a floor, and $XRP eventually recovered.
Notably, the last time the monthly $XRP RSI dropped to the 43 mark was in June 2022, when $XRP and the broader market suffered the impact of the Terra ecosystem failure. During that period, the $XRP price collapsed from $0.91 earlier in the year to a low of $0.2910, coinciding with this RSI low.
What Comes Next for $XRP?
Interestingly, this marked the bottom at the time, as $XRP only witnessed higher lows from that level. Specifically, three months later, $XRP rose to a high of $0.5574 before eventually spiking to $0.92 by July 2023, buoyed by the favorable ruling in the SEC case.
Doctor Profit stressed that he shared a buy signal in his premium group, suggesting that the latest decline in the monthly RSI to such historic lows may represent an opportunity for investors to enter the market. According to him, higher prices could play out in the coming weeks. However, there is a need to be cautious.
Notably, when the RSI hit these lows in 2022, it took two more years before $XRP eventually breached the $1 mark in November 2024, as its price action remained subdued throughout 2022 and 2023 due to the bear market. If $XRP currently trades within a bear market, such a delay could play out again until the broader crypto market enters a bull phase.
