XRP is facing intense pressure, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse responded by posting Warren Buffett’s well-known line: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” The message came as XRP traded nearly 70% below its all-time high of $3.65, a period the report described as one of the sharpest declines in the token’s history.
The source said panic has spread across the crypto market, with XRP turning into the weakest performer among the top 100 digital assets during the latest downturn. Its market capitalization has also moved close to slipping behind Circle’s USDC. At the same time, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index fell to 9, pointing to broad risk aversion and heavy stress across the market.
Garlinghouse calls for patience during the sell-off
Garlinghouse’s message focused on staying calm rather than reacting to short-term price swings. In his view, volatility is part of crypto markets, and XRP holders should keep their attention on the wider picture instead of making decisions based on fear. The article said he sees the current downturn as a possible buying window for participants willing to take a long-term view.
The report also referenced investor Michael Arrington as another market figure who sees opportunity in the current environment. For Ripple’s leadership, the emphasis remains on long-term building and on working through market cycles with discipline, not on responding to every move in price.
ChartNerdTA points to a longer-term XRP target
Alongside that message, crypto analyst ChartNerdTA shared a long-range technical outlook for XRP. According to the report, the analyst’s revised forecast suggests that XRP could move toward $27 in the current market cycle. The call is based on broader structural patterns rather than daily market action.
ChartNerdTA argued that the main challenge for holders is whether they can stay disciplined through a long consolidation phase. Short-term price movement may attract attention, but the analysis puts more weight on multi-year formations developing over time. The article did not provide a timeline for the $27 target, and framed patience as a central condition behind that outlook.
