Crypto analyst Austin Hilton delivered a clear message to XRP holders in a recent video on X. He began with a warning, saying, “We are not out of the woods yet.” He explained why he believes the market remains unstable despite the latest price bounce.
Market Strength Improves, But Risks Remain
Hilton noted that XRP is up about 7% and trading well above the recent low of $1.92. He acknowledged that the market shows signs of recovery. He also stressed that this short-term strength should not create a false sense of security.
He said that the market sits in “uncharted waters” as traders expect a strong bull phase to be underway by late November. He pointed out that this environment does not reflect those expectations.
He referenced his earlier videos that detailed the events he believes triggered the current conditions. He noted that the crypto market has failed to record meaningful upward movement since early October.

Hilton Reveals the Key Turning Point
Hilton stated that a major liquidation event on October 10 hurt the market. He described it as a cascading wipeout that affected billions of dollars and more than 2 million accounts. He said it hit market makers and some exchanges. He explained that traders still feel the impact as the market processes that shock.
He said this unwind has a timeline based on a similar situation in 2022. That period lasted 8 weeks. Hilton suggested that the current market could need another week of recovery before conditions stabilize. He indicates the asset may repeat that historical timeline.

Further Volatility Expected For XRP And Bitcoin
Hilton warned that volatility may continue. He said XRP could fall to $1.5 or lower. He also said Bitcoin might drop into the high $70,000 range. Notably, the figures sit close to the bearish targets recently set by CryptoBull, another well-respected analyst.
Hilton rejected claims that he spreads fear. Reminded viewers that “we are all adults here.” His message is intended to warn and prepare holders for realistic outcomes. Hilton highlighted the extreme fear level in the market, noting a score of 10 and the longest stretch in this range in years. He said this confirms his caution.
He reiterated that the fundamentals for Bitcoin and XRP remain solid and described the recent drop as a “manipulation event” still moving through the market.
He said manipulation exists in every major sector and that leaving crypto is the only way to avoid it. He urged holders to watch price levels, consider gradual buys, and remember that the 7% XRP bounce does not signal a full recovery.
