XRP price extended losses and traded below $2.080. The price is now attempting 
to start a fresh increase and faces hurdles near the $2.120 level. XRP price 
started a fresh decline below the $2.10 zone. The price is now trading below 
$2.10 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend 
line forming with resistance at $2.080 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair 
(data source from Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it stays 
below $2.10. XRP Price Turns Red XRP price failed to stay above $2.150 and 
started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below 
$2.120 and $2.10 to enter a short-term bearish zone. The price even spiked 
below $2.050. A low was formed at $2.034, and the price is now consolidating 
losses. There was an attempt to clear $2.10, but the bears remained active. 
There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.080 on 
the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.10 and 
the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the 
price might face resistance near the $2.080 level and the trend line. The 
first major resistance is near the $2.120 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib 
retracement level of the downward move from the $2.415 swing high to the 
$2.034 low. A close above $2.120 could send the price to $2.20. The next 
hurdle sits at $2.220 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move 
from the $2.415 swing high to the $2.034 low. A clear move above the $2.220 
resistance might send the price toward the $2.280 resistance. Any more gains 
might send the price toward the $2.320 resistance. The next major hurdle for 
the bulls might be near $2.350. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $2.10 
resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the 
downside is near the $2.020 level. The next major support is near the $2.00 
level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.00 level, the 
price might continue to decline toward $1.950. The next major support sits 
near the $1.920 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward 
$1.880. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining 
pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for 
XRP/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.020 and $2.00.

XRP may be setting up for a final, cleaner long entry if the broader market 
delivers one more volatility-driven pullback, according to CryptoinsightUK’s 
Will Taylor, who says his preferred “risk to reward” zone sits materially 
below current support. The thesis hinges on whether Bitcoin prints a double- 
bottom-style retest and drags major alts into deeper liquidity pockets before 
the next leg higher. In his Jan. 10 newsletter, Taylor framed early 2026 as a 
market caught between two plausible paths: a familiar pullback-and-recover 
structure that has defined prior Bitcoin dips, or a continuation higher that 
leaves would-be buyers watching price run away. “The question mark for me is 
whether we do get a wick below this ascending trend line into that double 
bottom area and then push higher,” he wrote, adding that the setup is crowded. 
“On the other side of this, it does make you think that everyone is probably 
looking at the same structure and waiting for something like this to play 
out.” Taylor said he had closed short-term trades during the week, not as a 
shift in his higher-timeframe view, but as a response to what he described as 
low-timeframe conditions and event risk. “Today we get the ruling on tariffs 
in the US. Is that going to provide some volatility?” he asked, pointing to a 
cluster of geopolitical headlines as potential catalysts that could either 
produce the pullback he’s watching for—or “deceive people… who are waiting for 
a pullback, and instead continue higher from here and leave those orders 
behind.” Related Reading: Spot XRP ETFs Hit Record Trading Volume In Past Week 
— Details Taylor’s shorter-term trade framework leans heavily on liquidity 
positioning, using Ethereum as a key tell for what Bitcoin might do next. He 
argued ETH “kind of favours the double bottom scenario” because “the amount of 
liquidity that has built up for ETH down to about $2,600” is heavier below 
than above on the hourly chart, an imbalance he views as a magnet if the 
market attempts to rally without first clearing that downside interest. One 
Last Buying Opportunity For XRP? That same logic carries into his XRP plan. 
Taylor said XRP has already “swept the highs of the range first,” forcing a 
decision point between holding a nearer support band—his “first blue box”—or 
fading into a deeper demand zone. “Now the discussion becomes whether we move 
into the first blue box as a weaker area of support and hold there… or whether 
we come back down into the deeper support zone around $1.90 to $1.82 and hold 
there,” he wrote. “That deeper area is my preferred risk to reward zone for 
placing long positions, and that is where I will be looking to get back into 
an XRP long and add to my position if we see that move specifically.” He added 
that the daily RSI on XRP was “close to crossing bearish,” presenting a 
technical backdrop that, in his view, supports the case for one more washout 
before trend continuation while stressing it does not alter his higher- 
timeframe bullish thesis. Related Reading: Ripple Builds ‘Next Amazon’ With 
XRP At The Center, Says Crypto CEO Taylor then pivoted to a more stimulative 
medium-term narrative, citing talk of “putting 200 billion into additional 
mortgage backed security purchases to cut mortgage rates,” along with 
suggestions of potential stimulus checks and the inflation sensitivity of oil 
prices. “Because of all of this, I think we’re going to see an epic rally. I 
don’t think people are really expecting the size or the scale of the move that 
could come,” Taylor wrote. “I believe we’re in the final shakeout period 
before the market really starts to march higher.” He said he remained “around 
95% exposed to the market through spot positions,” framing the decision to 
close short-term trades as “a capital protection mechanism.” His minimum XRP 
price target is $3.40 and extends to $4.40 based on liquidity in the medium 
term. Long-term, he says that the argument for the $8-$12 range is still 
valid, as reported last week. Separate commentary in the newsletter from 
analyst @thecryptomann1 highlighted what “confirmation” would look like on 
Bitcoin: a reclaim of roughly $105,000, a push through, and a successful 
retest. He cited “a huge amount of volume around this region” and alignment 
with bull market support bands, arguing that regaining them would shift the 
read from “relief rally” to something more durable. He also pointed to USDT 
dominance sitting on a multi-year trend line but showing weakness, including 
being “trapped below the 20 EMA” with RSI “below 50” and rolling over 
conditions that, if they resolve lower, could align with a risk-on breakout in 
majors. At press time, XRP traded at $2.05. Featured image created with
