BTC, ETH, and XRP at Turning Points: Major Breakout or Deep Correction Coming Next?

Analyst Ali Martinez said Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple’s XRP token reached pivotal technical levels after all three posted losses over the past week. Bitcoin traded near $82,500; Martinez called $81,000 the lower edge of its daily rising channel, a chart pattern, with a defense potentially allowing rebounds to $84,000 and $86,500, while a break could send it toward $76,000. Ethereum, near $2,440, faces a $2,350 support test; a bounce could target $2,700 or $3,000, while a close below could risk $2,000. XRP, down 7% near $1.32, needs to hold $1.25 and close above $1.56 to target $2; losing $1.25 could lead to $1, and Martinez suggested $1.25 may be a bottom after XRP Ledger transaction value reached $49.70 billion.
