XRP price prediction: High and Low Targets for 2026 - Analyst warns investors
Yesterday
🔻 Near-term price action: XRP has come under pressure recently, sliding more sharply than some major cryptos and trading around key levels below recent highs — pressure driven by broader crypto sell-offs and weaker risk sentiment.
A sharp rejection near resistance has opened a potential test of lower support zones, with analysts pointing to downside targets near $1.00–$1.20 if selling intensifies.
📉 Analyst revisions: Major institutions have pulled back on bullish forecasts — for example, one bank cut its year-end 2026 price target significantly, signalling more subdued expectations compared to prior optimistic calls.
📊 Technical landscape:
Market structure shows consolidation around $1.40–$1.50, with key resistance above around $1.60–$1.70.
Some technical indicators (like RSI) suggest oversold conditions, implying potential for short-term bounce if buyers re-enter.
However, broader momentum remains mixed, and failure to reclaim resistance could keep XRP range-bound or expose deeper pullbacks.
📈 Bullish cues:
Renewed interest and ecosystem growth (e.g., tokenization milestones and institutional involvement) underpin potential upside if technical and sentiment barriers are overcome.
Some longer-term models still envision XRP reclaiming higher levels once broader crypto conditions improve.
🧠 Summary View
Short-term: Volatile and cautious — price action favors consolidation with risk of further downside if support breaks.
Medium-term: .)
