Ripple’s XRP token showed some signs of a recovery on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026. According to CoinGecko data, the asset rallied 1.9% in 24 hours and its price increased by 2.4% from the week before. XRP seems to be holding steady at the $1.40 price level after its recent descent to $1.16 on Feb. 6, 2026. In this price prediction article, let’s discuss if XRP’s price is ready for a breakout, and if it can reclaim $1.70 in the next week.
Is XRP Ready For A Breakout, Or Will Prices Continue To Stagnate?
While Thursday’s rally brings some relief to investors, it may not signal a trend reversal just yet. The crypto market is still quite fragile and market participants continue to stay away from risky assets, such as XRP and other cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the liquidity crunch is far from over, and could inject fresh volatility into the market at any point.
According to CoinCodex analysts, XRP’s price will oscillate between around the $1.50 mark and $1.37 mark before hitting $1.66 on May 2, 2026. However, the platform does not anticipate XRP to hit $1.70 anytime soon.
If XRP can overcome the the $1.66 mark, it could see a big leg up to the $1.90 mark. Hitting $1.90 could boost investor sentiment once again to push the asset north of $2. While XRP may see a price breakout over the coming days, it may not enter a bullish trajectory just yet. The crypto market is far from recovered, and investors are still weary about risky assets.

However, XRP did see the launch of several spot ETFs in late 2025. Increased ETF inflows could greatly boost XRP’s price. Goldman Sachs recently revealed that it holds $153 million worth of XRP, mostly though ETF exposure.
