XRP has broken above a 90-day resistance level, suggesting a potential end to its recent downtrend. After a challenging 2025, where XRP experienced an 11% annual decline, the cryptocurrency has shown signs of recovery with a 6.71% intraday gain on January 2, 2026. This move has pushed XRP up 9.06% year-to-date, as it attempts to secure a daily close above the long-term descending resistance trendline. Market analysts, including Waters Above and Chart Nerd, have noted this development as a possible start of a long-term recovery. If XRP can maintain its position above the trendline, it could flip this resistance into support, paving the way for further gains. The next target for XRP is the $2.7 level, contingent on breaking the upper trendline resistance around $2.1. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.04, having surpassed local resistance at $1.96.
