XRP Price Prediction: $1.80 Breakout or $0.70 Retest Into 2026

⬤ XRP traders are watching two very different technical paths that could define where the token lands deeper into 2026. Everything hinges on whether XRP can hold its footing above $1 and respect nearby Fibonacci demand zones—or whether it’s about to replay an old script tied to the Upper Gaussian Channel retest.

⬤ In the bullish scenario, the correction is already done. XRP starts building a floor above $1, treating former resistance and Fibonacci zones as defendable ground. The real test? Clearing $1.80. That’s the level that would flip the structure back to upside mode and confirm the recovery is legit. Similar continuation setups have been tracked in TheTradable’s coverage of XRP bullish setup.

⬤ The bearish scenario is rooted in pattern repetition. Historically, after XRP retested the Upper Gaussian Channel, it didn’t bounce right away—it kept sliding toward the middle regression band before making another run at highs. Right now, that mid-band sits near $0.70, making it the downside target if the upper-band retest resolves lower.

⬤ Bottom line: this isn’t a one-way bet. Hold above $1 and break $1.80, and the recovery stays alive. Fail that, and the $0.70 zone becomes the next logical stop before any renewed push higher.
