A crypto analyst has predicted that XRP could see at least a 25% price increase between January 12 and 20, based on technical analysis.

 

The analysis focuses on market structure signals, such as breaking structure (BOS) and changing character (CHoCH), with XRP consolidating below a key resistance zone just under $2.

 

If XRP breaks above this resistance, a rapid price expansion is expected, with a target around $2.335.

 

2. Latest News & Market Sentiment

 

As of January 3, 2026, major crypto news sources continue to highlight XRP among leading cryptocurrencies, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

 

No major headlines or regulatory developments have been reported for XRP in early January, keeping the focus on technical signals and price action.

 

Early-year performance is seen as important for market sentiment, with a strong move in January potentially attracting more capital and participation.

 

3. Key Levels & What to Watch

 

At the time of analysis, XRP was trading near $1.8681. The resistance zone is marked around $1.95 to $2.05.

 

A successful breakout above this range could validate the bullish setup and push XRP toward the $2.335 target.

 

If XRP fails to break higher, consolidation may continue. Traders are watching for price action and volume near these key levels in the coming days.
