XRP attempted a breakout earlier this month, rising to $2.39 on Jan. 6, 2026, but it has since slipped to $1.91 as it fails to sustain the $2 threshold. Markets turned broadly lower after Bitcoin peaked at $97,000 on Jan. 15 and dropped below $90,000, a move that affected many tokens including XRP.
According to CoinGecko data, XRP is down 1.7% over the past 24 hours, 8% in the last week, 9.8% on the 14-day chart, and 39.3% since January 2025, while showing a 3.1% gain across the past 30 days. Traders have also noted that gold and silver dipped briefly after the tariff announcement and later recovered, a development some view as a shift toward traditional safe havens.
The market correction followed an announcement by President Donald Trump about additional tariffs on countries supporting Greenland; that tariff plan was later canceled. The cancellation, along with broader market moves, could allow some assets, including XRP, to regain momentum.
Risk sentiment and macro moves have weighed on XRP’s short-term outlook. CoinCodex’s price prediction expects XRP to rise to $2.15 on Feb. 13, 2026, before correcting back toward current levels by month-end, and does not foresee a $2.60 level being reached in the near term.
