XRP Coin is currently trading around $1.53–$1.60 USD (as of early February 2026), down ~3–4% in the last 24 hours and over 15–20% in the past week. This follows recent market weakness, with XRP dipping toward November 2024 lows amid broader crypto sell-offs, liquidations, and historical February softness (median returns often -8%).
For next week (mid-February 2026), short-term forecasts lean cautious to bearish:
Many technical models and analysts predict consolidation or mild downside, ranging $1.50–$1.65, with possible stabilization near $1.55–$1.60 if key support at $1.50–$1.53 holds and oversold conditions trigger short-covering.
Bearish scenarios see risk of dip to $1.40–$1.45 (or lower toward $1.25 in extended weakness) if momentum fails and broader market (BTC/ETH) drags lower.
Upside limited short-term unless volume spikes or positive Ripple/news catalysts emerge; resistance near $1.65–$1.75.
Overall sentiment remains mixed—bearish near-term due to recent drops and macro uncertainty, but XRP's strong utility in cross-border payments, ETF inflows, and regulatory clarity support longer-term recovery potential toward $2+ or higher by year-end per some forecasts. Crypto is volatile—watch BTC closely and global news.
