Ripple executives have reiterated that XRP will remain central to the company's strategy as it broadens into custody, stablecoins and prime brokerage. Reece Merrick and Brad Garlinghouse both emphasized that XRP sits at the core of Ripple's vision, with a detailed discussion of its role scheduled for an X Spaces event on Feb. 11. The company is also backing Evernorth, a dedicated XRP treasury firm, to support institutional use of the token through its Ripple Treasury platform.

XRP failed to break above $2.00 and retreated, with price hovering near $1.890 around the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. Immediate resistance stands at $1.920 and $1.950, while supports are $1.880 and $1.860. A move over $1.950 could reattempt $2.00, but a close below $1.860 risks $1.8320 and $1.80.

XRP is trading just under the $2.00 level around $1.89 while its derivatives market shows a deep reset, with Binance open interest dropping from a July 17 peak of $1.76 billion to under $500 million and nearly 60% off highs. The October 10 liquidation event accelerated deleveraging as price slid from $3.55 to $1.83, leaving leverage and speculative activity significantly reduced and XRP consolidating near key moving average supports.

On January 27, 2026, Dogecoin's co-creator Billy Markus ridiculed the rush into record-breaking gold and silver prices, framing it as classic FOMO while sharing memes. As precious metals saw sharp volatility, DOGE held in the $0.1183–$0.128 range with roughly $891.57 million in daily spot volume and $1.69 billion in futures trading. Leveraged traders favored upside, with positive funding rates and a long-short ratio above 2.5 on Binance despite Markus distancing himself from price predictions.

XRP was trading at $1.89 after losing the $2.00 psychological level, while still holding above the key $1.77 swing low and the January bottom at $1.81. On higher timeframes, indicators showed persistent capital outflows and weak buying, but the internal structure stayed bullish as long as $1.77 remained intact. After liquidity was cleared just below $2.00, a deeper dip toward the $1.80 area and a potential short squeeze toward $2.05 remained possible if demand returned.

After a subdued week, more than 250 billion SHIB have been withdrawn from exchanges, with one trading session alone seeing 450 billion tokens moved off centralized platforms. On-chain flows and chart signals point to Shiba Inu potentially completing a bullish head-and-shoulders pattern inside a long-term falling wedge, with analysts eyeing a move toward $0.00001 and scenario targets of $0.000033 and $0.000042 if momentum and broader market conditions improve.

CryptoBullet on X warns that Chainlink's weekly chart shows a head-and-shoulders pattern with an upward-sloping neckline near $10–$11; a weekly close below that zone could validate a bearish setup. The analyst's measured-move targets point to $4–$5 (about a 50% drop), with $7.15 as an intermediate support, while LINK trades at $11.98, up 1.1% on the day and down 5.4% over seven days.
