21Shares forecasts XRP target price of $2.45 in 2026, warns of correction risk
American asset management firm 21Shares in its latest report predicts a baseline target price of $2.45 for Ripple (XRP) in 2026; in an optimistic scenario, if institutional demand and RWA applications expand, the price could reach as high as $2.69. The report notes that XRP, which briefly surged to $3.65 in 2025, has now fallen back below $2.

Thursday, the decision is implemented, the crypto market continues its winning streak in short positions, and gold and silver remain crazy!
The highly anticipated Federal Reserve decision has been announced. As the market expected, it was thunderous but with little rain; the market has not shown much improvement, and the principle of "no rebound, no breakthrough" still applies in this round of行情. In the crypto world, we have recently been rebounding while shorting, and it has been very perfect.

Today, January 29, 2026, Bitcoin is under pressure, trading around $88,200. The market is in a short-term sideways range after failing to reclaim the $90,000 level.

Possible Next Move
The price is currently consolidating. If BTC fails to hold the $88,000 psychological support, a drop toward the $85,000–$86,000 zone is likely. Conversely, a confirmed breakout above $90,000 with
