After a bullish phase and a return to the level of around $100,000, the price of Bitcoin has already fallen below $90,000. In this uncertain environment, investors have decided to reduce risk, according to Glassnode. Meanwhile, XRP has been hovering around $2 for weeks. Will Ripple’s XRP Growth Accelerate in 2026? Will it experience downward volatility? Let’s take a look at the situation with the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization!
Interest in the XRP ETF on the spot market has decreased. It was launched on November 14, 2025 spot ETF XRP . These crypto products have been well received by investors, grossed over $240 million in the first day alone . Besides, XRPC – XRP ETF from Canary Capital – fixed record trading volume on the first day indicating strong market interest in this new product. However, a few months after launch, the situation worsened:

A significant inflow of funds was observed in the first few days, but since December he was very weak . In 2026 (January 7 and 20), there was even an outflow of funds . Therefore, demand for XRP ETFs in the spot market is relatively low right now.
From a technical point of view, XRP is volatile from July:
- He blocks bearish moving averages (EMA 9/EMA 18).
- it develops according to the trend line
- The momentum is volatile (RSI in free fall since the end of 2024)

The situation for XRP is complicated for several months now and it may get worse if the $2 support level will be lost . If the price falls below this level, it may reach the next one support at $1.25 . However, buyers have the opportunity to react. And if they do, the price may meet resistance at $2.90 . To achieve something new historical maximum it will be necessary to pierce resistance $2.90 .
Meanwhile, RSI is in the hands of sellers as it has been in a downward trend for several months. To restore stable momentum, RSI needs to break the downtrend line.
Declining interest in spot ETFs is a bad sign, but all is not lost for XRP. Indeed, the price is currently holding the $2 support level, and a pullback to around $3 is still possible. XRP may even reach all-time highs in 2026 if the price manages to break through the $2.9 resistance level. However, a break below the weekly support at $2 would be bad news for XRP enthusiasts as it could trigger a drop to $1.25. While cryptocurrencies fluctuate, gold is surging and approaching $5,000.
