Ripple‘s XRP token attempted a breakout earlier this month but lost momentum amid wider market moves. On Jan. 6, 2026, XRP reached $2.39 and has since declined to $1.91; According to CoinGecko data, it is down 1.7% in 24 hours and 8% over the past week.
XRP also shows a 9.8% drop on 14-day charts and a 39.3% decline since January 2025. The token has, however, rallied 3.1% on the 30-day chart.
Bitcoin climbed to roughly $97,000 on Jan. 15, 2026, then corrected to below $90,000. Most altcoins, including XRP, tracked Bitcoin’s price moves.
The market dip followed an announcement of additional tariffs by President Donald Trump that targeted countries supporting Greenland. (Ed. note: the additional tariffs were later canceled.)
Gold and silver briefly fell alongside crypto, then recovered their momentum. Rising interest in precious metals may signal investor caution and a tilt toward safe havens.
According to CoinCodex’s price prediction, XRP could rise to $2.15 on Feb. 13, 2026, before correcting back toward current levels. The platform does not project XRP reaching $2.60 in the near term.
