Ali Martinez (@ali_charts), a prominent crypto analyst on X, has issued a clear warning for XRP holders. The analyst noted that XRP must hold the $2 level to avoid a decline toward $1.2. The analyst shared a multi-month chart that highlights the criticality of this zone. The message arrives as XRP trades just above that threshold, with the market showing little margin for error. The timing is notable, as XRP has spent December 2025 consolidating after a prolonged decline from its peak in July . Momentum has slowed, but the chart Martinez shared suggests this pause carries weight beyond the short term. The $2 level has acted as a structural pivot since XRP surpassed it in late 2024. The current price action suggests XRP is once again being forced to prove whether that support still commands buyer conviction. $XRP must hold $2 to avoid a drop toward $1.20. pic.twitter.com/8mh1ZIF8jk — Ali (@alicharts) December 13, 2025 The Current Market Position XRP entered December above $2 after weeks of decline from its October highs. Sellers controlled momentum in late October and through November. The pullback erased much of the late summer rally. Even so, XRP has not lost its long-term structure. The token continues to trade above the crucial $2 support. In December 2025, XRP has been struggling around $2. The asset briefly dipped below this level but has stabilized. That behavior mirrors earlier periods of consolidation. Volatility has narrowed, and the market appears to be waiting. The asset’s price history matters. Each time XRP returned to this region, buyers defended it. The chart shows several reactions in the same area.

Sideways movement above the level would signal acceptance, but a bounce with volume would confirm demand. That would keep the long-term structure intact . It would also preserve the range XRP has traded since reclaiming $2 in late 2024. In June, XRP briefly dipped below $2, but experts downplayed this event . The recovery sent the asset soaring, pushing it to its all-time high. If XRP can experience a similar bounce, it could close 2025 above $3, entering the new year with positive momentum. However, failure changes the outlook. A further breakdown would invalidate the support. Martinez’s chart points to $1.2 as the next major support. Market participants are eagerly watching for XRP’s next moves, as it circles the $2 level. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
