Early 2026 Crypto Vibes: XRP Breaking Out and SOL Holding Steady – Plus a Low-Effort Reward Opportunity

Hey Steemit crew! Happy New Year
we’re only a few days into 2026, and the market is already flashing some green shoots after that rough end to 2025.

XRP is looking interesting right now, sitting around $1.87 with a nice little pump (up ~6–10% in spots over the past week). It’s finally pushing against that stubborn $2 resistance, with spiking volumes and talk of short-term targets at $2.10–2.30. Longer-term, banks like Standard Chartered are still calling for $8 by EOY 2026 on ETF flows and clearer regs. Feels like the post-correction bounce we’ve been waiting for.

SOL, meanwhile, is chilling in the $130–132 range — a solid accumulation zone around $120–130. It’s stabilizing nicely, and a lot of us are eyeing $150–180 if momentum carries into Q1. The ecosystem still looks strong despite the dips.

If you’re spotting these same setups and trading spot on pairs like XRP, SOL, BTC, ETH, or BGB… the Bitget Trading Club Championship Phase 24 is still live (ends Jan 6). Basically, your normal daily trades earn credits toward sharing the BGB reward pool and grabbing Mystery Boxes. No extra effort needed — just trade as usual and stack some bonuses.
