The XRP price may be approaching a decisive turning point after fresh on-chain data revealed one of the most extreme capitulation events in years. According to Santiment analysis, XRP has just recorded its largest realized loss spike since 2022, a development that has previously preceded a major price recovery. The data is now fueling expectations that a bottom could be in, with a move back above $2 increasingly within reach if history repeats. XRP Price Bottom Signals Emerge After Historic Loss Spike Santiment’s weekly Network Realized Profit/Loss chart, which tracks five years of XRP alongside price action, has revealed a dramatic spike in on-chain realized losses. The latest readings came in at roughly -908 million XRP, marking the largest capitulation event since November 2022, when weekly realized losses hit nearly -1.93 billion. Related Reading: Cup And Handle Pattern Puts XRP Price At $60 After Hitting Resistance Notably, the 2022 capitulation event occurred after a period of compression and decline. At the time, XRP’s price had been trending downward for months before the -1.93 billion reading printed. This showed that investors were selling at heavy losses near what later proved to be a price bottom. After that point, the trend reversed, and over the next eight months, the XRP price rose more than 114%. Based on Santiment’s analysis, XRP’s current structure is mirroring this 2022 setup. The cryptocurrency recently fell from above $3 to the mid-$1 range, with the chart showing price hovering around $1.45 to $1.65 as the realized loss spike emerged. This sharp increase in losses suggests widespread capitulation, as many holders appear to have sold at a loss out of fear and panic rather than waiting for a potential rebound. Historically, this type of extreme loss spike tends to appear near price floors, suggesting that the recent -908 million reading in the current cycle could be a major bottom signal for XRP. The chart shows that the most negative readings cluster around key inflection points, where selling pressure peaks and then begins to fade. In both 2022 and the current setup, the realized loss spike came after a prolonged downtrend, reinforcing the idea that an XRP price bottom could be in. A Possible Recovery Toward $2 While the comparison to the 2022 capitulation event suggests a potential bottom for XRP, it also points to a potential bullish recovery. After the -1.93 billion realized loss spike in 2022, XRP did not rebound immediately. Instead, it gradually shifted structure and produced a 114% rally over the next eight months. Related Reading: XRP Funding Levels Drop To Extreme Negative Levels, What This Means For Price From the current price range near $1.35, a similar gain would push XRP well above the $2 threshold. The chart shows that past capitulation phases were followed by expanding candles and stronger upward momentum once selling pressure eased. If the recent -908 million realized loss spike represents a similar emotional extreme to the one observed in 2022, it could indicate that downside pressure is diminishing and a recovery may be approaching.

Michael Saylor’s quiet hint this weekend put a spotlight on a methodical habit that has quietly shaped corporate crypto moves for years. Related Reading: XRP Flashes Rare On-Chain Signal That Once Preceded 114% Gains Michael Saylor posted a chart with the caption “The Orange Century,” and through that single image he signaled what many traders already suspected: the company he chairs is poised to make another buy. Strategy has been buying Bitcoin in steady doses since 2020. Reports note the firm has completed 99 buys so far. That makes the next purchase the 100th. Short headline. Big milestone. The buy count matters because it shows a pattern more than it shows timing. Buy Pace And Signals The image Saylor shared on the X platform is the same type of chart the company has shown before when a purchase was near. Other market watchers read the post as a likely prelude to actual buy orders. The company has not issued a formal press release about a specific date. The Orange Century. pic.twitter.com/8zelTduTPC — Michael Saylor (@saylor) February 22, 2026 Recent Activity And Holdings According to public records, the firm now holds about 717,131 BTC at an average cost near $76,027 per coin. Market prices have drifted lower from that average. Bitcoin was trading around $65,050 at the time of the reports. That gap has put the firm’s cost basis in the red on paper. Still, buying has continued; the company has added BTC for many consecutive weeks in 2026 and showed no obvious pause even as prices moved down. Shareholders And Market Reaction Reports note that since the initial stake was bought in August 2020, the firm’s stock has climbed sharply. Yahoo Finance data shows a rise from roughly $12.44 then to about $131.05 at the time this report was made, an increase of around 950%. That price swing has made the strategy attractive to some investors who wanted exposure to Bitcoin through a public stock. Others worry about concentration risk when a single asset so heavily shapes a company’s balance sheet. How This Fits Broader Trends Other firms have copied pieces of this playbook. Moving treasury cash into Bitcoin has become one option among several for companies that want to shield some value from inflation or to chase upside tied to crypto. Related Reading: Political Meme Coins Implode: TRUMP Down 92%, MELANIA Nearly Wiped Out That has had a ripple effect: when big public holders buy, it can shift short-term flows and signal confidence to certain corners of the market. At the same time, critics argue that using corporate coffers to buy a volatile asset brings fresh governance questions. The next move will be watched closely. If the 100th buy happens, it will be seen as a reaffirmation of a strategy that has been consistent for years. Observers will then parse whether the purchase is symbolic, tactical, or simply another step in a long, steady accumulation. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
