The Ripple XRP cryptocurrency continued to fall to end this past week, now hovering just over the $2 mark. Analysts are closely eyeing the asset’s daily, weekly, and monthly charts, looking for signs of a rally or bullish patterns. Recently, XRP bounced off a key Bollinger Band level on its monthly chart, which prompted experts to suggest that a rally against Bitcoin may emerge.
Indeed, the XRP/BTC pair on TradingView is flashing one of its most promising upside setups in recent memory, with a 50% increase as the target. On the monthly chart, XRP just tested and bounced off the midline of the Bollinger band, represented by a 20-month moving average, which is currently near 0.00001988 BTC. From here, a return to the top band at 0.00003343 BTC would represent a 55% gain, which is a level that XRP has not reached since summer 2023.
Additionally, Ripple XRP price predictions are heating up again, as the asset stands on the brink of a breakout. The token is now eyeing $2.9 per CoinCodex and may trade at the $3.14 price level by July 2026. “According to our latest XRP price prediction, XRP is forecasted to rise by 44.42% and reach $ 2.99 by July 15, 2026. Per our technical indicators, the current sentiment is Bearish while the Fear & Greed Index is showing 49 (neutral). XRP recorded 11/30 (37%) green days with 6.77% price volatility over the last 30 days.”
Historically, February is when BTC takes the lead. This makes the current technical setup all the more important. If XRP breaks this pattern, both technically and seasonally, it could trigger a rotation narrative where funds reallocate from Bitcoin to high-beta majors like XRP.

Furthermore, XRP also has the potential to garner momentum through ETF success. According to XRP-Insights, XRP ETFs have accumulated $1.71 billion worth of assets under management. Inflows are higher to start the year, and could spark XRP to rally back to the $2.50 level if that trend continues. This has also sparked further institutonal interest in XRP. The asset was recently spoken about in very high regard on a CNBC report. The platform called XRP the “hottest crypto trade of 2026.” The bullish outlook may further influence investors to buy more of the coin.
At press time, Ripple XRP is caught between two important price zones. Support sits at $1.95, which has held firm through three separate tests. Resistance clusters between $2.4-$2.6, with the 200-day moving average at $2.32 adding another layer. If XRP breaks cleanly above $2.6, the path opens to $3 and potentially higher.
