XRP Tests 12-Year Support as ETF AUM Tops $1B

XRP is holding a 12-year macro support level. U.S.-based spot XRP ETFs attracted $7.65 million in net inflows for the week ending Feb. 13, 2026, pushing total assets to $1.01 billion.

The total amount of these tokens held among its ETFs is now approximately $1.01 billion. The milestone indicates increasing institutional exposure at a critical technical level.

The coin was trading at approximately $1.59 at the time of writing and had gained more than 5.8% in value over the last day. In addition, the token’s price remained above the lower boundary of a multi-year parallel channel, which has historically defined areas of possible reversal. The combination of macro support and ETF demand put this coin’s price at a key turning point.

Macro Support Holds On 3-Month Chart 

Analyst Chart Nerd stated that XRP has respected the bottom of this channel since 2014. In the current quarter, its price is bouncing at the base of the channel.

It has re-established a previous support-resistance line, which is typically indicative of an accumulation phase, as opposed to a distribution phase. The same channel contained the multi-year base of the 2017 rally from below $0.01 to above $3.

If the structure continues to remain intact, the mid-point of the channel will become the next area of attraction in higher timeframes. However, a confirmed closing price below the lower boundary of the channel would invalidate the bullish set-up. It would increase the focus on the $1 psychological support cluster.

XRP’s Institutional Flow Improves After Large January Outflow

Additionally, the flow dynamics of XRP ETFs are beginning to stabilize. Prior to February, these ETFs reported more than $52 million in weekly outflows at the end of January.

However, they recorded back-to-back weeks of net inflows in February, per SoSoValue data. The rise of the AUM above the $1 billion mark is an indication of capital being rotated away from Bitcoin and Ethereum-based ETFs and into larger-cap altcoin products.

Rising inflows from regulated vehicles should provide less volatility for the coin through the introduction of structural demand. However, it does not guarantee the direction of price movement.

Short-Term Momentum Supports Macro Trend Structure

According to TradingView data, XRP’s intraday price action is exhibiting upward momentum throughout the European session. It is currently above the prior short-term resistance point near $1.55 and is establishing higher lows.

When both short-term momentum and long-term support are aligned, the likelihood of a continued push upward toward upper resistance zones increases. Right now, there are several important levels, including the macro support at the $1.30-$1.40 zone, short-term support near $1.55, and the upper resistance near $1.70.

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves.

Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year.
