XRP is trading at $1.07 as of Tuesday, down about 5% over the past month. The $1.06 level has emerged as a critical floor — hold it and a run toward $1.35 or even $1.64 is possible, according to analyst Ali Martinez. Lose it, and the next stop could be $0.62.
The $1.06 line in the sand
Martinez isn't the only one watching that number. Fellow analyst ChartNerd says XRP found support at $1.06 but now faces heavy resistance in the $1.08-$1.23 zone. The $1.16 mark is the biggest roadblock in that range. ChartNerd also suggests a possible sweep below $1, and describes any deeper downtrend as a 'golden ticket entry' — a chance to buy before a bigger move higher.
Moving averages and macro retests
EGRAG CRYPTO points out that XRP has lost its 50-day moving average and is approaching the 100-day exponential moving average. That's not a death sentence, they argue. A retrace to $1 or even $0.95 could be a healthy macro retest. The maximum downside they see is $0.80. On the upside, their long-term targets remain ambitious: $15, $27, and $50-plus.
Reaching $15 would require XRP's market cap to approach $1 trillion — a highly speculative scenario by any measure.
A contrarian call from Javon Marks
Not every analyst is playing defense. Javon Marks claims XRP has broken a key resistance trend and could jump beyond $3.50. That's a far more bullish take than the consensus, and it stands out in a market that's been grinding lower for weeks.
The next few sessions will tell whether $1.06 holds or cracks. If it does, the path to $1.16 becomes the immediate test. If it doesn't, the $0.95-$1 zone is the next area to watch.
