- Traders Union revised its 2026 forecast and projects a maximum price of $2.9 for XRP, below the $3 mark.
- The same forecast warns XRP could drop to $1.6 in 2026, creating downside risk for holders.
- XRP hit an all-time high of $3.65 in July last year after a seven-year hiatus, then lost gains and fell below $2 several times.
- XRP is trading near $2.25 and is down about 5.5% intraday, despite rising nearly 20% in the first week of January.
- Approval of XRP ETFs by the SEC in 2026 could boost demand but may not be sufficient to push the price above $3; wider markets show Bitcoin struggling to reclaim $100,000 while Ethereum sits near $3,250.
A revised 2026 price projection from Traders Union indicates that XRP may not reclaim the $3 level this year, with a stated maximum of $2.9 and a possible low of $1.6. The forecast follows a volatile period in which XRP reached $3.65 in July last year, then later erased gains and dropped below $2 multiple times. The projection arrives as market participants watch for potential catalysts, including regulatory moves and exchange-traded fund approvals.
XRP is trading around $2.25 and fell about 5.5% in intraday trading, according to market data. The token delivered strong returns early in January, rising roughly 20% in the first week, but faces renewed selling pressure that could limit near-term gains.
Market watchers note that approval of XRP ETFs by the SEC in 2026 could generate fresh interest and buying pressure. Even so, the revised forecast suggests such enthusiasm might not be enough to close the gap above $3, leaving a ceiling near $2.9 for the year.
Broader crypto market dynamics also factor into outlooks. Bitcoin has struggled to retake the $100,000 range, while Ethereum sits near $3,250 and has gained about 10% in a recent week, offering relative strength compared with XRP.
