XRP is feeling some pressure as traders brace for a key regulatory moment. While $BTC is holding above $90,000 and the broader market stays green, $XRP slipped about 1% in the past 24 hours, cooling off after last week’s rally.
The token reversed from its $2.40 high on January 6 and is now trading near $2.05–$2.09. Price struggled to break above $2.13, spending most of the session stuck between $2.08 and $2.13, a sign of hesitation ahead of the January 15 CLARITY Act vote.
What the short-term signals are saying:
- Momentum is fading as trading volume slows
- MACD below signal line points to short-term bearish pressure
- RSI near 43 shows neutral conditions, not oversold
The key level now is simple. As long as $2.00 holds, $XRP may attempt a bounce back toward $2.20, the next major resistance. Lose that support, and the market may stay cautious until the regulatory picture becomes clearer.
