A sequence of subtle shifts has been forming beneath XRP’s price action. Ali Martinez (@ali_charts), a well-respected analyst, believes these signs suggest a significant downward move for the asset.
In a detailed X thread, Martinez walked through several charts that track participation, holder behavior, and price structure, suggesting the asset may fall to $0.80.
Declining Network Participation Sets the Tone
Martinez opened his analysis by focusing on network health rather than price candles. He expressed concern for declining engagement across the network. He stated that network activity has cooled noticeably. Daily active addresses have dropped to approximately 38,500, which he described as evidence of waning participation and interest.
Lower address counts often reflect fewer transactions and reduced usage, conditions that can weaken price support over time. The analyst linked to an XRP Network Activity chart that showed a steady decline, reinforcing his point.
Here’s why $XRP could be at risk of a drop to $0.80.

Whale Selling Adds Supply Pressure
After addressing participation, Martinez turned to large holders. He noted a clear shift in whale behavior during the same period. Rather than accumulating XRP, these wallets appear to be reducing exposure.
“At the same time, whales have turned into sellers,” Martinez said. He added that they have been “offloading more than 40 million XRP in recent days.” The XRP Held by Whales chart supported this claim, showing a visible reduction in balances among large addresses.
This combination of falling network activity and whale selling can create a difficult environment for price growth. When large holders distribute tokens into a market with declining demand, downside pressure can build quickly.

Key Price Levels Come Into Focus
With these conditions in place, Martinez outlined the technical levels that now matter most. He identified $1.77 as a critical support zone. “If selling pressure continues, XRP risks losing the $1.77 support,” he wrote.
He explained that a breakdown at this level would be significant. “A breakdown here opens the door to the next major support zone near $0.80,” Martinez said. This level appeared repeatedly throughout the thread as a key downside area if current trends persist.
Martinez used a volume-based distribution chart to reinforce his view. “Below $1.77, the next meaningful area of support for XRP is $0.79,” he stated. The chart highlighted this region as an area where past buying activity has concentrated.
