On February 2, 2026, several analysts detailed near-term levels for Ripple's XRP after a roughly 4% rebound to just over $1.60.

Ethereum slid beneath 2,420 and 2,300 and is trying to rebound from the 2,155–2,150 area, but sellers cap recoveries near 2,350–2,365 with the 100 hour SMA overhead. A decisive move above 2,450 and toward 2,600 could open 2,700, while rejection at 2,365 leaves 2,250, 2,220 and 2,150 as key supports.
