That uncertainty can weigh on risk appetite across all markets, including crypto.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, let\u2019s take a closer look at the Bitcoin and XRP price prediction.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bitcoin-price-prediction\">Bitcoin price prediction<\/h2>\n<p>As of January 15, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $96,500. Yesterday, it climbed toward $97,800 but pulled back amid lingering uncertainty. Despite this, there\u2019s still room for a recovery. A confirmed break above $97,800 could open the door to $98,800, with the psychological $100,000 level in sight.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">BTC 1-day chart, January 2026 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If Bitcoin drops, the $95,700\u2013$95,000 area should hold as support, and the $93,000\u2013$91,000 area should be a stronger safety net.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"xrp-price-prediction\">XRP price prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Ripple (XRP) reached $2.17 yesterday and is now near $2.09. The $2.15 is an important level. If XRP breaks through that, it could test $2.25\u2013$2.30.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768507332_27_Bitcoin-and-XRP-price-prediction-after-US-Senate-Banking-postpones.webp.webp\" alt=\"Bitcoin and XRP price prediction after US Senate Banking postpones crypto bill - 3\" class=\"wp-image-14445051\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP 1-day chart, January 2026 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Support is between $2.10 and $2.05.

Bitcoin and XRP are both testing support and slipping in value. Watching news and flows can give traders clues about whether a stronger trend is forming.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Bitcoin and XRP prices may remain within a range, but a clean break above or below key levels could indicate where the market is headed next.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto is responding to regulatory and macro news.
