$XRP XRP Price Slips to $2.16 as Whale Activity Hits 3-Month High — What’s Really Happening? Jan 8, 2026, 12:02 GMT+5:303 min read
XRPUSD −2.26% As crypto markets compress, Bitcoin price heads towards the crucial support at around $90,500. Meanwhile, the XRP price also plunges below $2.2 in times when the whales have suddenly become active. The crypto extended its short-term decline on Tuesday, trading near $2.16, even as on-chain data revealed a sharp surge in large whale transactions. The unusual divergence between falling prices and rising smart-money activity has pushed the XRP price into a critical decision zone for traders.
XRP Whale Activity Explodes Despite Falling Price
The XRP price broke out of descending consolidation earlier this year. This move appears to have triggered the whales, who have carried out huge transactions. The whale activity surged sharply even as prices continued to slide, highlighting a growing divergence between large-holder behaviour and market direction that suggests active positioning rather than a simple reaction to falling prices.

$ETH price prediction for future. Ethereum is once again attracting the spotlight. While Bitcoin stabilizes, the second giant of the crypto market could be preparing for a historic breakout. Several crypto analysts anticipate a parabolic run to a new high. The path to $5,000 seems clear… but how far can ETH really go? According to his observations, the world’s second largest crypto is about to emerge from a lengthy consolidation phase to start an ascent towards $5,000.
The first key area to watch is between $4,000 and $4,200. If surpassed, the path would be clear to $4,800–$5,000, without major technical hurdles.
Currently, Ethereum is already testing the $3,900 resistance, brushing this critical zone with particularly favorable market momentum.
This push accompanies a notable outperformance against Bitcoin. The numbers are telling: ETH has risen 61% in one month, versus only 11% for BTC. Such a divergence rekindles investor interest for the so-called “world computer” and strengthens the idea of a market cycle change in crypto.
The analyst Titan of Crypto goes even further in optimism. He anticipates an increase in the ETH/BTC ratio toward a reload zone, likely triggering a price surge of Ethereum between $7,300 and $8,700.
From this perspective, the $5,000 threshold would only be an intermediate step in a much more ambitious bullish movement.$ETH #ETH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
