Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has cautioned that XRP may be approaching another 
downswing after the Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential flashed a fresh sell signal on 
the daily timeframe. In a new video and transcript shared alongside a 
TradingView chart of the Binance XRP/USDT perpetual contract, Martinez said, 
“XRP could be bound for a correction. The TD Sequential Indicator on the daily 
chart has been remarkably accurate in calling XRP’s trend reversals over the 
past three months, and it has just flashed another sell signal.” Is XRP Poised 
For A 16%+ Drawdown? Martinez anchored the call in a sequence of recent TD 
prints that he argues lined up with notable reversals. “On July 22nd, a sell 
signal resulted in a 24% correction. On August 8th, a sell signal led to a 17% 
pullback. On August 23rd, a sell signal resulted in a 13% drop. On September 
15th, another sell signal preceded a 13% dip. On September 27th, a buy signal 
resulted in a 12% rebound. On October 22nd, a buy signal led to a 14% surge. 
Now, the TD Sequential Indicator just flashed a sell signal, suggesting that a 
pullback may be underway.” The above chart depicts the daily candles for the 
XRP/USDT perpetual on Binance with TD markers annotated at the cited swing 
points. It shows drawdowns and rebounds close to the magnitudes Martinez 
lists, with boxes highlighting approximate moves of about −23.9%, −17.75%, 
−12.34% and −12.89% following earlier sell counts, and rebounds of roughly 
+12.26% and +14.25% after the late-September and late-October buy signals.

What’s Next The latest candle is labeled with a new “9” sell tag near the 
$2.64 area shown on the chart, underscoring the analyst’s warning that the 
next impulse could skew lower if the pattern persists. TD Sequential signals 
are timing tools, not directional guarantees, and their effectiveness is 
typically judged ex-post by how consistently they appear near exhaustion 
points. Martinez’s argument is empirical and narrowly scoped to the recent 
three-month sample visible on his chart, where the recorded signals coincided 
with local peaks and troughs to a notable degree. Related Reading: XRP Final 
Test: Will Wave 4 End With One More Shakeout Before Liftoff? The present setup 
therefore pivots on whether XRP respects the latest sell print as it did in 
July, August, and mid-September, or whether the market breaks that cadence as 
it occasionally does in trending environments. Martinez is not projecting 
targets or durations beyond the historical analogues he enumerates, and the 
only explicit inference he draws is that another corrective phase is 
statistically plausible given the recent behavior of the TD signals on the 
daily chart. Based on the four most recent TD sell signals (−24%, −17%, −13%, 
−13%), the average drawdown is ~16.75%, which—applied to the chart’s current 
price around $2.64—would imply potential downside toward roughly $2.20 if the 
pattern repeats. At press time, XRP traded at $2.64. Featured image created
