2026 opened with a key shift in XRP’s market behavior. Price action has steadied after months of compression, and trading activity has increased without disorder. This comes after a rough close to 2025, when XRP moved through a period of consolidation following its mid-year surge. The current structure has encouraged renewed focus on what may come next. Zach Rector, a well-known crypto expert, believes XRP’s next move is to wipe out sell walls between $5 and $10, potentially opening up even higher levels. First XRP target is wiping out the sell wall between $5-10. — Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) January 4, 2026 Is XRP Targeting $5 to $10? Rector pointed to the need for XRP to push through the dense sell pressure clustered between $5 and $10. The focus is on absorbing overhead supply rather than chasing short-term momentum. This approach highlights order book structure and liquidity concentration at higher levels, with that zone viewed as a critical hurdle once XRP moves into price discovery . XRP has never traded within this price zone. That fact gives the range added weight. Wiping out sell walls means absorbing large clusters of sell orders at specific price levels. Once cleared, it reduces resistance, allowing the asset to move higher with less friction. In this context, the $5 to $10 zone acts as a psychological and structural threshold. Rector’s statement positions this range as a primary milestone rather than an end target, suggesting XRP could climb higher after moving through this zone. XRP’s Path So Far XRP kicked off 2025 on a high note, opening January at $2.08 and hitting a peak of $3.39. The asset also achieved notable price milestones, hitting an all-time high of $3.65 in July and recording its highest monthly close that same month.

After some notable crashes in August and September, XRP entered the final quarter of 2025 below $3 and struggled to regain that level. October also saw a flash crash that sent the asset to $1.52, its lowest level of the year. It transitioned into a controlled range as volatility declined. Through November and December, XRP traded within a tight band. January introduced a mild resurgence. XRP rebounded from late December lows and reclaimed key short-term levels near $2. This stability has become central to forward-looking analysis. XRP has spent extended time building a base rather than chasing price acceleration.
