On Tuesday, the XRP ETFs faced their worst trading day to date, with significant outflows that marked the end of a remarkable streak. Previously showing consistent net inflows, these ETFs experienced their initial losses on January 7. The XRP price also fell below $2.00, wiping out substantial gains observed earlier in the month of January 2026.

Dominance of Weekly Outflows

Reports reveal that the newest trading week witnessed outflows amounting to $40.64 million, indicating a sharp decline after the ETFs had enjoyed a peak of $1.28 billion in cumulative inflows. The ongoing geopolitical tensions have further exacerbated the situation, as XRP’s price dipped back to approximately $1.90.

Significant Price Movement

Despite a poor performance this week, analyst CW notes that decisive price movements over the weekend could be crucial for the near-term future of XRP. He indicated that a breakout from the current trend could signify a new rally for the coin.

CW: “$XRP is back within the convergence after a fake breakout. The movement over the weekend is critical. A breakout of this pattern signals a rally.”

Recent analyses from Santiment suggest that a shift in trader sentiment toward bearishness concerning XRP may actually create conditions ripe for a price surge ahead.
