Ripple‘s XRP has weakened in Q1 2026 after a strong 2025 rally. According to CoinGecko, XRP hit $3.65 in July 2025, fell about 48%, and now trades near $1.90 (Ed. note: 48% decline measured from the July peak).
Over the last week XRP slipped roughly 3% and fell 7.8% over 14 days, according to CoinGecko. It has lost about 33% since January 2025 but showed a 0.3% gain in the past 24 hours and about 1% over the past month.
Analysts at CoinCodex expect XRP to oscillate between $1.90 and $2 in coming weeks, then reach $2.26 by April. They cite macroeconomic worries and rising gold and silver prices as near-term headwinds.
Q2 could bring improvement if new trade deals and greater global stability boost investor sentiment. Increased ETF inflows could also support a rally, but markets currently remain risk-off.
XRP’s path will likely follow Bitcoin‘s price moves and may stay subdued until Bitcoin shows clear momentum. If Bitcoin reaches new highs, XRP could attempt to reclaim the $3 level.
