While short-term price action shows marginal recovery, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-price-chart-signals-trouble-is-a-drop-to-1-20-possible\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">market analyst Ali Martinez argues<\/a> that weakening network fundamentals, large-holder distribution, and fragile technical support indicate downside risk has not been neutralized. In his view, if these conditions persist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/27-million-bet-for-xrp-crash\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">XRP could still face a sharp drawdown<\/a> toward the $0.80 region, implying a potential 56% decline from current levels.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP\u2019s Weak Network And Whale Selling Undermine Demand<\/h2>\n<p>In a series of recent tweets, Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2005659666265894985?s=46\" rel=\"nofollow\">outlined<\/a> multiple converging risks that could push XRP into a deeper decline. Central to his assessment is a visible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-daily-new-addresses-plunge-80-in-2025-bearish-on-chain-metrics-raise-alarm\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">deterioration in on-chain participation<\/a>, which he views as an early warning signal for further downside. Daily active addresses on the XRP Ledger have fallen sharply, dropping from roughly 46,000 to about 38,500 within a single week.<\/p>\n<p>This contraction reflects reduced transactional engagement and softer organic demand, conditions that weaken price resilience during periods of broader market uncertainty. In practical terms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrps-price-jump-masks-a-quiet-decline-in-active-users-data-shows\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fewer active users<\/a> translate into lower baseline buying pressure, making the asset more vulnerable to sell-side shocks.<\/p>\n<p>Compounding this issue is a notable shift in whale behavior. Martinez highlights that large <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-long-term-holder-shift-from-euphoria-to-anxiety\/\">holders have offloaded<\/a> more than 40 million XRP over the same timeframe. When high-conviction capital moves to the sell side, it alters supply dynamics quickly, especially in markets already experiencing muted retail participation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/xrp-whale-activity-signals-warning-distribution-pattern-resurfaces\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Whale distribution<\/a> typically acts as a leading indicator of trend exhaustion, as concentrated supply entering the market absorbs demand that would otherwise support price stability. Together, declining network activity and <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-whales-unload-holdings-distribution-progress\/\">whale selling<\/a> form a reinforcing feedback loop that erodes confidence and increases downside exposure.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP Price Faces Elevated Downside Risk<\/h2>\n<p>From a market structure standpoint, XRP\u2019s technical setup remains precarious despite modest short-term gains. The asset is currently trading around $1.87, down 8.6% over the past month, even after recovering 0.3% in the last 24 hours and 1.1% over the past week. These incremental rebounds, however, have not altered the broader risk profile. According to Martinez, the $1.77 level represents a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-risk-20-crash-to-1-55\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">critical support zone<\/a> that must hold to prevent deeper losses.<\/p>\n<p>A decisive break below $1.77 would invalidate the current consolidation structure and expose XRP to its next meaningful support near $0.79\u2013$0.80. This level is not arbitrary; it represents a historically significant demand zone where price previously stabilized after prolonged declines. If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/xrp-selloff-whales-shed-coins-worth-1-billion-week\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">selling pressure from whales<\/a> persists while on-chain activity remains subdued, the probability of testing this lower band increases substantially. In this scenario, the projected move would amount to a roughly 56% decline, aligning with Martinez\u2019s risk assessment.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, while XRP is not in freefall, the asset is operating on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/es\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-must-clear-this-level\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">thin structural support<\/a>. Until network activity recovers, whale behavior stabilizes, and key technical levels are decisively defended, XRP remains exposed to a high-impact downside scenario that investors cannot afford to ignore.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/qZuoc5E0\/\" alt=\"XRP price chart from Tradingview.com\" width=\"3286\" height=\"1794\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP price may be stabilizing above recent lows, but underlying signals suggest the asset remains structurally vulnerable.
