What to Expect From XRP Price in February 2026
XRP faces technical downside risks due to a descending channel and historical weakness in February, despite bullish divergences and whale accumulation.Summary
XRP is currently under pressure, entering February following a market-wide dip and historically weak performance for the month, which has seen an average decline of -8.12%.
Technically, XRP is trading within a long-term descending channel, increasing downside risk as it nears the lower boundary. A prior hidden bearish divergence signaled the recent correction, but a potential bullish divergence is now forming, suggesting trend exhaustion if key conditions are met (price above $1.71 and RSI above 32.83).
On-chain data presents mixed signals: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) shows accumulation by large players during the pullback, supported by improving net inflows into XRP spot ETFs. However, exchange flow balances have sharply increased, indicating selling pressure, similar to patterns preceding previous drops. Furthermore, XRP whales have been accumulating earlier than in previous cycles, though this accumulation requires sustained ETF inflows to confirm a reversal. The immediate outlook hinges on defending support at $1.71–$1.69; a break below this could lead to $1.46, while reclaiming $1.97 resistance is necessary for a sustained recovery.
