Crypto commentator Zach Rector recently suggested that XRP investors may have one final opportunity to buy the digital asset below $1, citing historical market data highlighting a potential decline during August.
Accompanying Rector’s tweet was a video in which he explained why he believes investors should closely monitor XRP’s price action over the coming weeks. Rather than asking followers to rely solely on his opinion, he emphasized that his outlook is based on historical performance data compiled by market analyst ChartNerd.
According to Rector, XRP has repeatedly struggled during August in U.S. midterm election years. He highlighted previous market cycles, noting that XRP declined by 5% in August 2014, fell 23% during the same month in 2018, and posted a 13% loss in August 2022. Based on those three instances, he said the average August decline during midterm years comes to roughly 14%.

Applying that historical average to XRP’s current price, Rector suggested that the token could fall into the $0.88 to $0.90 range. He noted that several market participants have already identified that area as a possible bottom if selling pressure continues through August.
Rector also revealed how he plans to respond if that scenario plays out. He said he has placed buy orders above the anticipated price zone and expressed optimism about accumulating more XRP should the asset revisit those levels.
At the same time, Rector acknowledged that historical performance does not guarantee identical results. He invited his audience to share their expectations, asking whether they believe this August will follow previous midterm-year trends or whether XRP will avoid another move below $1.
The post generated differing opinions from members of the XRP community.
X user MagicMichael questioned whether history would repeat itself, arguing that July has traditionally been a favorable month for XRP but failed to deliver strong performance this year. The comment suggested that an unusual July could also mean August may not follow its typical pattern.
ChartNerd responded by providing additional historical context. He explained that June has generally produced an average decline of about 22%, while July has historically delivered an average gain of around 15%.
Although this year’s July performance fell short of that historical average, ChartNerd noted that the month still remained positive, adding that XRP had climbed from approximately $1.03 to $1.18 before surrendering part of those gains. He added that maintaining a monthly close above $1.00 would keep July in positive territory despite the recent pullback.

Not everyone accepted the historical analysis. Another user, identified as iaint buyinit, dismissed the chart-based outlook entirely, arguing that cryptocurrency markets do not follow stock market patterns and claiming that technical charts provide little value in predicting XRP’s future price movements.
Rector’s outlook ultimately centers on one key question: whether XRP’s historical August performance will repeat once again or whether this year will break from previous midterm-year trends.
