The $6.3 billion Binance hack has already delivered one of crypto’s nastiest selloffs of 2026, but analyst Ali Martinez is now looking beyond the initial panic and asking a more useful question:
Where could the best support levels appear if prices keep falling?
Bitcoin dropped as low as roughly $76,400 before attempting a recovery, Ethereum briefly traded near $2,170, and XRP fell toward the low-$1.20s. More than $1.5 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated during the selloff.
Ali is watching three lower levels in particular: $73,000 for Bitcoin, $1,976 for Ethereum and approximately $1.00 for XRP.
Ali’s daily Bitcoin chart places BTC around $78,936 and points toward approximately $73,000 as the next support area.
That level is especially interesting because it is close to Bitcoin’s 200-day moving average, giving it more technical significance than a random round-number target.
Before BTC reaches it, the $76,000-$77,000 region is already trying to provide support.
But if the post-hack recovery fails and $76,000 gives way again, Ali’s $73,000 zone becomes realistic.

Below there, his chart also marks approximately $67,500 and $60,000 as deeper levels.
I would view $73,000 as the first serious dip-buying test, not a guaranteed bottom.
Ethereum’s chart looks weaker.
ETH fell below $2,200 during the initial Binance-driven panic before bouncing toward roughly $2,220-$2,240.
Ali’s chart shows a clear sequence of lower highs beneath a descending trendline.
The nearby levels around $2,391 and $2,480 have now become resistance, while his downside arrow points toward $1,976.
That is basically a test of the psychological $2,000 level.
If ETH cannot reclaim the $2,400 region, I think a move toward $2,000 is considerably easier to imagine than it was before the hack.
XRP is the most aggressive setup of the three.
Ali’s three-day chart has XRP around $1.25, with support around $1.15 before the larger psychological level at $1.00.
That would mean another roughly 20% decline from $1.25.
The chart also shows former resistance around $1.40-$1.55, which XRP would eventually need to reclaim before the broader structure starts looking significantly healthier.
For now, Ali is looking lower.
If $1.15 fails during another market-wide liquidation wave, the $1 area could become the next obvious magnet.

That distinction is important.
Ali is not saying Bitcoin must bottom at $73,000, ETH at $1,976 or XRP at $1.
He is identifying areas where he would start looking for stronger buyer interest after the Binance shock.
And there are still reasons to be cautious.
Institutional investors have reportedly begun pulling assets away from centralized exchanges following the breach, derivatives traders remain defensive, and Bitcoin options activity has concentrated heavily around $74,000-$78,000 puts.
So another leg lower would not be surprising.
My focus would be on how price behaves when these levels are reached.
For Bitcoin, that is roughly $73,000.
For Ethereum, around $2,000.
And for XRP, the larger opportunity Ali is watching may not appear until price gets much closer to $1.
