The token is trading near $1.84, down about 14% year-to-date and more than 17% over the past month. While long-term confidence in XRP has not faded, analysts agree that the current market lacks the strength to support a sustained move higher.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xrp-etf-demand-and-shrinking-exchange-supply\">XRP ETF Demand and Shrinking Exchange Supply<\/h2>\n<p>Despite weak price action, <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/ripple-news-xrp-etfs-continue-to-see-demand-as-crypto-prices-fall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spot XRP ETFs<\/a> in the U.S. have crossed $1 billion in assets under management, signaling steady institutional demand. XRP\u2019s long trading history and regulatory clarity make it easier for traditional investors to gain exposure.<\/p>\n<p>On-chain data strengthens the long-term outlook. Around 750 million XRP has moved off exchanges in recent weeks, leaving roughly 1.5 billion XRP on trading platforms. If this trend continues, a supply squeeze could develop by early 2026, especially if institutional inflows increase.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xrp-price-to-move-sideways-before-any-upside\">XRP Price To Move Sideways Before Any Upside<\/h2>\n<p>Nansen senior research analyst Jake Kennis expects XRP to remain range-bound in the near term. He notes that altcoins usually struggle until Bitcoin stabilizes or forms a clear bottom. According to Kennis, better conditions may emerge in the second half of 2026, supported by improved macro trends and investor sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>However, he adds that XRP\u2019s next major move will depend on clear catalysts, such as ETF growth, real-world use in payment systems, and stronger institutional participation, not short-term price momentum.<\/p>\n<p>            .article-inside-link {<br \/>\n                margin-left: 0 !important;<br \/>\n                border: 1px solid #0052CC4D;<br \/>\n                border-left: 0;<br \/>\n                border-right: 0;<br \/>\n                padding: 10px 0;<br \/>\n                text-align: left;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<p>            .entry ul.article-inside-link li {<br \/>\n                font-size: 14px;<br \/>\n                line-height: 21px;<br \/>\n                font-weight: 600;<br \/>\n                list-style-type: none;<br \/>\n                margin-bottom: 0;<br \/>\n                display: inline-block;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<p>            .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child {<br \/>\n                display: none;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-inside-link\">\n<li><span>Also Read : <\/span><\/li>\n<li> &nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/ripple-ipo-in-2026-analysts-rank-xrp-firm-among-top-50-billion-public-listing-candidates\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ripple IPO Back in Spotlight as Valuation Hits $50B<\/a><\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;  &#044;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ripple-price-levels-to-watch-in-the-coming-days-nbsp\">Ripple Price Levels to Watch in the Coming Days&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>From a technical standpoint, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2004528621462098025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">analyst Ali Charts says XRP<\/a> is consolidating within a triangle pattern, which often leads to a sharp move. He estimates a 10% price swing once a breakout or breakdown occurs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<p>Key levels remain crucial. $1.80 is a critical support zone. A clear break below this level could push XRP toward $1.37. On the upside, a bullish reversal would require higher trading volume and a break in the current bearish structure signals that have not appeared yet.<\/p>\n<p>Price forecasts vary. Conservative estimates suggest XRP Price could stay near $1.80\u2013$1.90 if major catalysts fail to emerge.
