XRP\u2019s January rally unraveled on the 26th of January, erasing earlier gains and sending the token back toward familiar support.<\/p>\n

The altcoin slipped to $1.88 at press time, with a downside wick near $1.81, wiping out its January advance in a single session.<\/p>\n

That drop marked a sharp reversal after XRP\u2019s earlier surge, leaving traders reassessing confidence in the recovery attempt.<\/p>\n

Momentum indicators offered little relief. RSI remained subdued, while MACD stayed weak, signaling limited bullish conviction.<\/p>\n

This left traders focused on whether XRP could stabilize near $1.88 or risk another breakdown.<\/p>\n

ETF inflows stayed positive<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ripple [XRP]<\/span><\/a> saw $3.43 million in inflows from Bitwise, leading the charge despite the disaster on the 26th of January. Despite this, XRP ETFs recorded over $1.36 billion in total inflows by the 23rd of January. <\/span><\/p>\n

These new whales and institutions are clearly not jumping ship, even as the price falters. But how long will they hold out before pulling back, especially with XRP underperforming?<\/span><\/p>\n

Institutional confidence remains, but for how much longer will they keep investing in a coin that can\u2019t hold its ground?<\/span><\/p>\n

Whales accumulated XRP dip<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whale activity surged when XRP dropped below $2, but it wasn\u2019t until it hit $1.88 that <\/span>things truly got intense<\/span><\/a>. CryptoQuant\u2019s data showed that whales were devouring the dip with reckless abandon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was as if they saw this as their last chance to load up before a potential rebound. Yet, despite this aggressive accumulation, the price couldn\u2019t hold, and now XRP stands at a precarious $1.88.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s the million-dollar question: Can whales continue to prop up XRP, or is this dip too much to overcome?<\/span><\/p>\n

Ripple CEO stays bullish<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Brad Garlinghouse hasn\u2019t lost hope. At the World Economic Forum, he boldly stated,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very bullish, and yes, I\u2019ll go on record as saying, I think we\u2019ll see an all-time high.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His view leaned on growing adoption and improving regulatory clarity. Still, XRP\u2019s recent price action struggled to reflect that optimism.<\/p>\n

This disconnect kept traders focused on near-term structure rather than long-range forecasts.<\/p>\n

Technically, XRP hovered at a critical inflection point. Failure to hold $1.88 would expose the $1.73 level, which marked the next major support on the chart.<\/p>\n

A decisive breakdown below $1.73 could accelerate selling pressure and deepen the retracement.<\/p>\n

Until then, XRP remained range-bound, with buyers defending support but lacking momentum for a sustained rebound.<\/p>\n

\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • XRP reversed sharply after momentum faded, with weak RSI and MACD showing limited bullish conviction.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Although ETFs saw $3.43 million in daily inflows and whales accumulated near $1.88, broader market demand remained cautious, preventing a sustained rebound.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
