XRP experienced strong gains throughout 2025 but has suffered nearly a 50% price decline since its July all-time high of $3.65. Analysts expect a bearish Q1 2026 with XRP hovering near $1.90, potentially rising modestly to $2 before gaining strength in Q2 due to anticipated ETF inflows and improved global economic conditions. XRP’s future movement is closely tied to Bitcoin’s performance, with hopes that a BTC rally could help XRP retake significant price levels.
