XRP has been singled out by CNBC as the breakout trade of 2026, with the token up more than 20% year-to-date and climbing to third place by market value, surpassing competing assets such as BNB. This positioning comes as XRP gains momentum in a broader market backdrop where regulatory clarity with Ripple has reduced the so-called overhang for the asset. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s early-year rally failed to sustain itself above critical price levels, leaving the market eyeing the $90,000 support as a key battleground. After a move toward nearly $95,000, the pullback has prompted traders to question whether the move signals a durable trend or a bull trap that could stall any sustained upside.
On the Cardano front, derivatives activity has surged dramatically, with Cardano futures volume on BitMEX up 25,084% to about $162 million in 24 hours, per CoinGlass data. ADA is currently testing the $0.40 support zone, near the daily 50-moving average; this follows a rebound from a January 1 low of $0.331, signaling renewed interest in ADA’s price trajectory and potential continued upside if the hurdle at $0.40 holds.
