Crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) posted a thread on October 18 outlining conditions for a rebound in XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. All three assets have since moved higher.
XRP climbed from a low of $1.26 to $1.34. Bitcoin rose from $80,700 to $82,700. Ethereum moved from $2,330 to $2,430. Martinez has now updated his outlook with immediate price targets for each asset.
What Martinez Said About XRP
Martinez identified $1.25 as a key support level for XRP on the 3-day chart. He described the setup as a potential inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. In that pattern, the left shoulder formed earlier in the year, the head dipped to around $1 in August, and the right shoulder was forming near $1.25 at the time of the post.
Martinez said holding that level could kickstart a move toward $2. He also noted that “a sustained close above $1.56 could open the path to $2.” He set $1 as the downside level to watch if $1.25 failed.

Bitcoin and Ethereum at Key Levels
For Bitcoin, Martinez focused on $81,000 as the lower boundary of a daily rising channel. He said buyers defending that level could push BTC toward $84,000, then toward the channel’s mid-range at $86,500. A break below $81,000, he warned, would shift focus to $76,000.
Ethereum faced a similar test at $2,350. Martinez identified that level as the support line of a “right-angled ascending broadening pattern.” He said a bounce from there could take ETH toward $2,700 or even $3,000. A daily close below $2,350 would put $2,000 in focus.
The New Targets
Following the rebounds, Martinez declared “market rebound as predicted” and issued immediate targets for all three assets. He set BTC at $86,500, ETH at $2,700, and XRP at $1.55. He added that breaking those levels would extend the rally further.
Where the Charts Stand Now
The Bitcoin (BTC) daily chart now shows price at $84,535, with $86,500 marked as the next resistance. The chart’s projected path shows a move toward that level.
Ethereum (ETH) sits at $2,512 on the daily chart, with the projected path pointing toward $2,700 and then $3,100. XRP trades at $1.39 on the 3-day chart, with $1.55 as the next resistance for the asset and the $2 target further ahead.
