After weeks of uneven trading, recent moves have pushed XRP into a zone that demands attention. Ali Martinez (@ali_charts), a popular crypto analyst, recently highlighted this shift, pointing to technical damage that has altered the short-term structure. He suggests the asset is on the verge of a notable breakdown.
What the Chart Shows
Ali’s chart presents a clear technical narrative. XRP began a rally in late 2024 and crossed the $3 level in early 2025. While it suffered some losses later in the year, it rallied again, hitting a peak of $3.65 in July.
However, it experienced bearish pressure in the months that followed, entering a steady decline. Each rebound grew weaker, and Ali shows that the support near $1.9 has given way.
According to the analyst, XRP now targets lower levels after losing this crucial support. His next target is $1.1, much lower than the $1.53 level it fell to on October 10. $1.1 would mark XRP’s lowest level in 2025, and could cause a mass exodus as investors seek better-performing assets to start 2026.
XRP is currently trading at $1.86, and the structure shows lower highs since the peak in July, reinforcing the belief that momentum has faded.

Recent Price Action Adds Pressure
Recent sessions have reinforced the warning. XRP slipped below $2 and failed to reclaim it. While it has slipped below this level before, it quickly recovered, and analysts downplayed the dip. However, extended periods below this level suggest that the decline will continue.

With XRP now trading below $1.9, many investors are closely watching the area. That level now acts as resistance rather than support. As long as XRP remains below it, downside risk stays elevated. This type of action keeps pressure on short-term traders, and selling pressure from these traders could accelerate the decline.
Can XRP Still Recover?
Despite the technical weakness, not all outlooks are bearish. Several market participants remain constructive on XRP over a longer horizon. ChatGPT recently predicted that XRP could start 2026 as high as $2.2, placing it above the crucial support level.
Many analysts have even more bullish expectations for XRP. Regaining the $1.9 level will be the first positive sign, and its performance over the next few days will determine its next direction.
