This week, XRP depreciated by 17.94 per cent with a historic MACD indicator sitting on the market; the traders are keeping a keen eye on the support mark of 1.30 amidst market disarray.

XRP trades at $1.57 on February 4, 2026. The cryptocurrency was down 2.63% over the last 24 hours, with the market capitalisation being $95.5billion.

As ChartNerdTA on X shows, XRP has never charted as high as the lowest monthly histogram reading of its MACD had. This finding was posted on Tuesday by the technical analyst, indicating that the trend could be exhausted.

The MACD histogram is used to calculate momentum between moving averages. The reversals leading to extreme readings tend to follow, and ChartNerdTA indicated a startle of the first order.

Critical Support Zone Emerges

XRP has been defended by the Supertrend indicator since 2022. This was pointed out by ChartNerdTA on X on Tuesday evening and indicates that the uptrend is still intact in February 2026.

The Supertrend has been supportive of the bullish action as ChartNerdTA tweeted on X. At 1.30, the next support level would be important should 1.50 be broken, and retesting would probably be the final step in the correction.

XRP lost 0.54% in one hour. The 7-day downfall was 17.9,4 and selling pressure escalated throughout the crypto markets.

Broader Market Weakness Weighs

Weekend selloffs stimulated 2.2 billion in futures selloffs. Bitcoin fell below the major support levels, and the trading sessions were dominated by risk-off.

XRP is met with opposition on several fronts. The 200-day moving average is at 2.20, and hence any recovery will need to breach $2.00.

According to prediction markets, XRP’s value will remain less than $2 by the month of February. Historical evidence reveals that the month of February is a poor period, and the average median returns are lost to history to the tune of negative 8 per cent.

The traders closely observe the Supertrend support at $1.30. A failure would only increase the losses, and the MACD signal on ChartNerdTAis a technical worry. Bulls are not in a favourable market environment.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
