Ripple‘s XRP token showed a modest recovery on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026. According to CoinGecko data, XRP rose 1.9% in 24 hours, gained 2.4% for the week, and traded near $1.40 after a Feb. 6 low of about $1.16.
Thursday’s uptick did not necessarily signal a trend reversal, as market conditions remain fragile. Investors are avoiding risky assets and a liquidity crunch could inject fresh volatility (Ed. note: liquidity remains a key risk).
According to CoinCodex analysts, XRP may oscillate between roughly $1.50 and $1.37 before reaching $1.66 on May 2, 2026. CoinCodex does not expect XRP to hit $1.70 in the immediate term.
If XRP clears the $1.66 level, it could extend gains toward $1.90. Hitting $1.90 could help restore investor sentiment and push the token above $2.
Several spot ETFs for XRP launched in late 2025, and ETF inflows could increase demand. Goldman Sachs holds about $153 million of XRP, largely through ETF exposure, which may support liquidity.
