Updated: Jan 04 2026- Short-Term Structure Shift: XRP surged above the $1.83 to $1.90 range, reaching $2.07, indicating strong market participation and marking one of the strongest short-term rallies since December, potentially laying the groundwork for further gains.
- Support and Resistance Analysis: The current support level at $2.00 to $2.02, if maintained, will help keep the short-term structure constructive, while the resistance zone at $2.07 to $2.08 represents a critical test for recent price action.
- Market Sentiment and Indicators: Despite the price rally, broader sentiment remains cautious with the Fear & Greed Index reflecting extreme fear, indicating a divergence between improving price action and muted sentiment, often characteristic of early-stage recoveries.
- Future Probability Analysis: As long as XRP holds above $2.00, the market favors continued consolidation or gradual extension toward the $2.10 to $2.15 region; conversely, a drop below $2.00 could lead to another range rotation.
