Recently, I came across an analyst's opinion suggesting that PENGU might be a better bet than XRP in 2026, which made me a bit restless. XRP has always been a key focus of mine, and now hearing such comments, I can't help but want to delve deeper into this topic.

Let's first look at XRP's current situation. The current price is $2.100000. Technically, it is in a consolidation phase, with the RSI indicator at 45.1, indicating that market sentiment is still relatively balanced. In terms of technical positioning, support is around $2.016000, resistance above is at $2.184000, and the key breakout point is at $2.152500. If significant capital flows from XRP to PENGU, the pressure on XRP will definitely increase.

But upon closer thought, XRP still holds quite a few chips. Ripple's application in cross-border payments and remittances has been advancing, and this is not just on paper. Plus, the activity level and community support for XRP are quite strong, which are real fundamentals. Compared to PENGU, XRP's use cases are more grounded, while PENGU's popularity mainly comes from market hype.

Regarding trading strategy, my plan is as follows: in the short term, stay on the sidelines and avoid rushing in or out. If XRP can hold steady at $2.152500 and then break through the resistance at $2.184000, I will consider increasing my position. Conversely, if it falls below the support at $2.016000, I should cut losses—there's no need to hold on stubbornly. After all, risk management is the foundation for long-term survival.

That's my thinking. What do you all think?

PENGU-14,89%

XRP-9,9%

Can PENGU compare to XRP? Bro, this analyst is probably brainwashed by the whales. Who would believe in such a distant forecast for 2026? [Thinking] XRP is at least backed by Ripple and has real applications. PENGU just starts cutting leeks as soon as it gains popularity, it's too obvious. If you can't break the key point at 2.152500, you still want to add to your position? Wait and see, risk control first.

Bro, I just want to say—PENGU? That smells like a 2018 altcoin, I can still smell it Even XRP at least has Ripple behind the scenes doing real work, PENGU just relies on hype to survive. Once the trend shifts, you're dead. I've been scammed like this before, losing everything has taught me a lesson for a lifetime. It's better to honestly hold the 2.152 line, don’t think about switching lanes to overtake, those are all tricks to get you to buy the dip.

Is Pengu Fire really a genuine thing or just a scam to harvest investors... I still believe XRP is the real deal, and there are more genuine projects out there.

XRP has fundamental support, PENGU is just hype, no suspense I'll sell if XRP drops below 2.016, that's the bottom line To be honest, PENGU is only popular now because it's cheap; the truly useful one is still XRP Let's wait and see if it can hold at 2.1525 before making a move Compared to analysts' opinions, I trust my stop-loss line more

Alright, I think this analysis is reliable. XRP's fundamentals are indeed much stronger than PENGU. Most of those hyping PENGU are just trying to trap retail investors. --- PENGU? Don't talk nonsense. It's just a hot topic. Who knows what will happen in 2026? We still have to look at Ripple's actual user data. --- That's also what I think. Risk management is truly the only way to survive. Holding on stubbornly = suicide. Taking profits when the time is right is the way to go. --- Stop-loss at a breakdown is especially critical. Many people just refuse to admit they're wrong, ending up trapped and losing heavily. --- Ripple's cross-border payment scenario does have practical applications, unlike some coins that are purely speculative. In the long run, there's still logic behind it. --- Honestly, I agree with a wait-and-see approach in the short term, but don't hold on too tightly. If you miss this opportunity, you can just wait for the next one. --- This price level analysis is detailed. It all depends on whether we can hold the 2.152 line. The decisive moment is coming soon. --- Before adding positions, you still need to wait for a confirmation signal. Don't rush. The market won't run away, but your capital might.
