XRP consolidates at $1.87, analysts predict it may face a pullback after reaching $2 in 2026

【Crypto World】Ripple is currently fluctuating between $1.87 and $1.88. Although the weekly increase barely reached 1.5%, it has already given back 17.5% of its gains since December. What's more painful is that this asset has fallen from its all-time high of $3.65 in July, with a deep correction of nearly 50%.

According to market analysis, XRP is expected to re-test the $2 level by mid-January 2026, but don’t celebrate too early—an retracement is expected to come quickly. By late February, it is very likely to fall below this level again. The logic behind this is actually simple: the current macroeconomic uncertainty still clouds the market, the cryptocurrency sector is under frequent pressure, and there is little hope for a fundamental improvement in the short term. Investors should be mentally prepared for wave adjustments.
