Can XRP hold onto $1.85? These factors will be most critical in January 2026

【Crypto World】Regarding the outlook for XRP in January next year, opinions in the market are quite divided. Some analysts have given a price range from $1.77 to $3.40, but there are also more aggressive voices calling for a target of $8. To be honest, these predictions have such a wide span, and the underlying logic is just two words: uncertainty.

The most directly influential factors on the price are nothing more than a few: how regulatory policies will be defined, and whether the spot XRP ETF can truly boost recognition. If these two become clear, the market might reach a consensus.

Currently, the pressure is significant. On January 1st, 1 billion XRP will be released, and this influx of supply will indeed put pressure on the price. The coin is now repeatedly testing around $1.85, and whether this line can hold is essentially a watershed.

From a technical perspective, the key is whether this support level can stay firm and whether the recent downtrend can be reversed under the potential positive impact of the newly launched spot XRP ETF. The market divergence is so large, indicating there are still many variables. The recent trend will be very critical.

1.85 this line is really stuck, feels like it can't hold --- 1 billion XRP crashing down, who can withstand it, still depends on regulation --- Forecast from $1.77 to $8? That price difference is just too outrageous haha --- If the ETF can really be lifted, there is hope, but now it feels uncertain --- Both support and resistance levels, who knows how this wave will go --- Basically, it's all about betting on regulation, everything else is虚的 --- Uncertain is a perfect word, anyway I can't understand it --- 1 billion tokens released, this is a nightmare --- Wait for news about the ETF, no news before that is all pointless --- If $1.85 can't hold, it will directly slide to $1.77, no suspense at all

It has proven that the release of these 1 billion XRP is a technical validation process—seeing whether the market can absorb this wave of supply shock and how resilient the protocol architecture is. 1.85 is really a hurdle.

1.85 is really a critical line; if it breaks, it's basically game over. If it can't hold, then get ready to break below 1.77, and there will be another wave of panic selling. 1 billion XRP dumped... this is a real test to see if retail investors can withstand it. Can ETFs really save the market? I'm a bit skeptical. The forecast from 1.77 to $8... this range is basically all about gambling. Wait until January 1st passes before discussing further; it's pointless to talk now. Regulatory uncertainty makes all good news seem like paper tigers. Do you believe 1.85 will break? Anyway, I believe it will.

A billion coins are coming in, and the 1.85 level is really uncertain. We'll see what regulators say then.
