On January 5-6, short and long position liquidations on Binance Futures pushed XRP toward the middle of this range. A $4.4 million short liquidation on January 5 was followed by a $5.5 million long liquidation on January 6, increasing volatility. This two-phase “reset” wave highlights a market still searching for direction.

Institutional Growth: Evernorth and Doppler Finance

Institutional interest remains strong. Evernorth, supported by Ripple and SBI Holdings, partnered with Doppler Finance to explore liquidity and treasury use cases on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This initiative is not a product launch but a strategic research phase on XRPL.

Technically, XRP trades between $2.07-$2.17 in the short term, marking critical levels. On January 8, high trading volumes defended the $2.07-$2.08 support zone, triggering a V-shaped recovery. However, resistance around $2.17 capped gains, confirming supply pressure. One-hour charts show ongoing minor drops and recoveries, indicating the market has yet to break out.

Price Action Summary

• XRP fell from $2.17 to $2.12, forming a range of approximately 4.9%.

• The high-volume drop confirmed demand at the $2.07-$2.08 zone.

• Attempts to recover near $2.17 remained limited, reinforcing short-term selling pressure.

• Recent trades fluctuated between $2.109 and $2.130.

What Investors Should Know

• If $2.07-$2.08 holds, XRP may continue to trade within this range. The first upward test is $2.17, followed by $2.20. A clear break above $2.17 could start a trend toward $2.25-$2.30.

• If $2.07 breaks, focus shifts to $2.05 and then the demand zone around $1.85-$1.90.

• The market created high leverage quickly, reducing the chance of sudden chain reactions. The next breakout is likely driven by new momentum rather than another liquidation wave. XRP fell to the daily support at $2.07; if lost, the price could test the $1.91 demand zone.
