XRP Faces $1.77 Test After On-Chain Slump as Analyst Warns of Path Toward $0.80

Waning network participation alongside recent whale sales signals fragile support, according to analyst Ali Martinez.

Overview

  • XRP trades near $1.85–$1.87 on Jan. 1 after modest short‑term rebounds, leaving price close to key support levels.
  • Daily active addresses on the XRP Ledger fell from roughly 46,000 to about 38,500 in a week, signaling weaker participation.
  • Large holders recently offloaded around 40 million XRP, a shift that could add sell‑side pressure, Martinez says.
  • Martinez identifies $1.77 as a pivotal level; a decisive breakdown could expose the next major support zone near $0.80, or about 56% lower.
  • A separate technical view notes a falling‑wedge pattern with a potential move toward $1.90 if price confirms a breakout above roughly $1.88 and holds $1.82–$1.84.
