$XRP closed the day with clear indecision, hesitating just below a key resistance zone. A confirmed breakout and hold above $2.10 could flip momentum back to the upside.
Until that happens, $XRP will likely keep taking its direction from Bitcoin. Sometimes the best move is simply to stay patient and wait for confirmation.
Reports suggest a Satoshi-era whale may be active again after years of silence, with claims of buying around 26,900 BTC (≈ $2.45B).
If this is confirmed on-chain, it would be one of the most significant whale reactivations in years and could signal strong confidence at current prices.
For now, this remains unconfirmed and should be treated cautiously until verified by reliable on-chain data.
$XRP has moved from a downtrend into a base-building phase.
After a full sell-off and liquidity sweep, price has been consolidating in a tight range for weeks, suggesting selling pressure is fading. Markets often move strongly after long periods of consolidation. The next move is likely to be decisive.
Price is reacting from a long-term support zone and has broken out of a short-term bearish channel. This suggests buyers are slowly stepping back in and may try to push price toward higher resistance levels.
As long as $XRP holds above this base support, the outlook stays cautiously bullish. If this level fails, the recovery would likely weaken and downside pressure could return.
Early 2026 is already shaping up to be big for $XRP . CNBC points to strong price momentum and growing ETF inflows, signaling renewed institutional interest rather than just short-term hype. Could this be the alt leading the market this year?
Prediction market Polymarket is facing major backlash after refusing to settle over $10 million in bets on whether the U.S. invaded Venezuela following a recent U.S. military operation. Polymarket argued the events didn’t meet its contract’s strict definition of an “invasion,” leaving many wagers unresolved and traders frustrated. Critics say this highlights deeper issues around fairness, transparency, and how prediction markets interpret real-world events. The debate has reignited concerns about prediction market definitions and trust in crypto platforms.
