The post This pattern hints at XRP’s violent crash to $1.2 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP is showing increasing vulnerability as its price action flirts with the critical $2 support level, raising the risk of a deeper market breakdown. Notably, the asset’s recent trading activity indicates that bulls are struggling to defend this threshold, and failure to hold it could trigger a sharp decline toward the next major support at $1.20, according to insights from cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez. In an X post on December 3, Martinez noted that XRP is displaying a clear downward trajectory that began after the token peaked above $3.40 in mid-year.  XRP price analysis chart.

The most recent bounce attempts near the $2 zone appear weak, with price action repeatedly failing to regain upward momentum. This behavior highlights waning demand as the market approaches a historically significant floor. The long-term structure supports the bearish outlook. The $2 zone has been a key support throughout 2025, but repeated tests have weakened it.  In this case, the latest retest shows tight volatility and shallow rebounds, a setup that often precedes sharp drops. A clean break below $2 would expose a wide liquidity gap toward $1.20, the next significant support area. A collapse toward $1.20 would represent one of XRP’s steepest drawdowns of the year, and Martinez’s outlook suggests that such a move is increasingly plausible.
