The crypto market experienced a significant downturn from November 9 to 14, 2026, with every major coin seeing declines. However, two cryptocurrencies have demonstrated this year that they can recover quickly from deep drops. Currently, Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) trades at $65,336, down 13.6% in just seven days, as discussed in our article on Bitcoin’s recent struggles. So, which cryptos could recover first when selling pressure eases?

Bitcoin and Ethereum Led the Whole Market Lower

Bitcoin has lost 13.6% over the past week and 19.8% over the last 30 days. Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) has had an even tougher time, down 18.2% in seven days and 23.3% over 30 days.

During this sell-off, other major cryptocurrencies have also declined. Recovery is likely to start with Bitcoin, as it typically sets the trend for the entire market.

XRP Climbed Almost 60% After Its August Low

XRP (CRYPTO:XRP), designed for payments, trades at $0.96 after slipping back below $1. In mid-August, when it last dipped below $1, it closed at $0.99, then rebounded to $1.57 by September 22—an impressive gain of nearly 60% in about five weeks.

XRP has shown more strength than Ethereum during this downturn, with a seven-day loss of 16.9% compared to Ethereum’s 18.2%. However, XRP trades below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages, which stand at $1.20, $1.33, and $1.26, respectively, and it remains 73.7% below its all-time high of $3.65.

Solana Nearly Doubled After Its June Low

Solana (CRYPTO:SOL), known for its fast blockchain technology supporting apps and payments, trades at $73. It hit a one-year low of $62 on June 6 but surged to $122 by September 25—an impressive nearly 97% increase. Solana also appeared on our list of the best cryptos to buy in November.

However, Solana is declining more sharply than XRP right now. It has dropped by 8.7% in just 24 hours, which is sharper than XRP’s 5.2% decline, and it has lost 29.6% over the past 30 days.

XRP Could Recover First, With Solana Close Behind

Given their past performance, we believe that XRP and Solana could be among the first to rebound. XRP may have the upper hand, as its weekly loss of 16.9% is less severe than Solana’s 18.0%. Our analysis of XRP’s recovery shows it has recovered quickly after previous lows.

So, which cryptos could recover first? If Bitcoin stabilizes, XRP and Solana could see rapid gains similar to those they saw after their August and June lows. However, if Bitcoin continues to drop, both coins could fall further, with XRP potentially sliding below $1.
