Ripple\u2019s native cross-border token is trading near a zone that could shape its next move. After pulling back from early January highs of $2.40, the price is retesting a key resistance area. Market participants are now watching whether XRP breaks higher or resumes its decline.<\/p>\n
At press time, XRP is trading around $1.89 and is testing a descending trendline that had acted as support before the recent breakdown. This trendline, now turned resistance, aligns with the $1.97 level. A move above this area may shift the short-term structure, opening the door for further upside.<\/p>\n
According to analysis from More Crypto Online, the current bounce has brought XRP back to this technical zone. If the price pushes through and holds above $1.97, the correction may \u201cbecome far more complex.\u201d A rejection at this level would support a bearish outlook.<\/p>\n
$XRP<\/a> \u2014 More Crypto Online (@Morecryptoonl) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n Notably, the chart presents a potential corrective wave structure marked as (A)-(B)-(C). XRP\u2019s recent action fits within this framework. If the downward pattern remains valid, price levels near $1.85, $1.77, $1.73, and $1.66 are being tracked as possible support.<\/p>\n Traders are also focused on $1.80, a level tested multiple times over the past year. Whale Factor pointed<\/a> to the current range between $1.80 and $2.10 as a possible setup for increased volatility, depending on which side breaks first.<\/p>\n A falling wedge pattern was recently broken to the upside, leading to a short-term recovery. This pattern often points to exhaustion in a downtrend. Volume rose slightly during the breakout, but has not yet confirmed strong buyer control.<\/p>\n Momentum signals are showing signs of change. On the MACD histogram, red bars have decreased, suggesting fading selling pressure. Analyst CW shared<\/a> that a sub-indicator is pointing to a trend shift, with a convergence break suggesting early bullish momentum.<\/p>\n However, XRP saw large movements in January, with 130 million tokens transferred to exchanges, according to Steph Is Crypto. As we reported<\/a> yesterday, Binance\u2019s XRP balance rose to 2.74 billion, reaching its highest level since November. Some traders see this as increased liquidity returning to the market.<\/p>\n WHALES MOVED 130M $XRP<\/a> TO EXCHANGES IN JANUARY.<\/p>\n WHAT DO THEY KNOW? pic.twitter.com\/zt2QWXptqa<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n Data from Coinglass shows a 17% drop in trading volume, while open interest rose by nearly 3% to $3.38 billion, indicating that new positions are being built.

\nThe price is now retesting the yellow trendlines from below. Key spot here. $1.965 is the next resistance above. If the price extends higher from here then this entire correction will become far more complex. pic.twitter.com\/DAhTmRrfsm<\/a><\/p>\nMomentum Indicators Show Early Shift<\/h2>\n
