XRP Rockets 253% in Best Q4 Since 2017

by

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of market experience under my belt, I must say that the impressive performance of XRP in Q4 this year has certainly piqued my interest. The last time we saw such significant growth was back in 2017, a period often referred to as the ‘Crypto Wild West’.

Based on historical price data from CryptoRank, it’s clear that the fourth quarter of this year has set a new record as the most profitable for the popular cryptocurrency XRP over the past seven years. In just the last three months, XRP has seen a remarkable 253.6% return, making this quarter its best performance this year as well.

In my recent research, I noticed an intriguing pattern that resonates with an event back in 2017. As per CryptoRank’s records, the price surge that year was staggering, reaching an astounding 1,064% increase. Remarkably, a significant portion of this growth occurred in December. At present, while the numbers are relatively smaller, the current value of the popular cryptocurrency is significantly higher than it was seven years ago.

Currently priced at $2.20 per XRP, the token remains approximately 50% below its peak all-time high. It’s worth noting that back in early November, the value of XRP was only $0.56, with an even more promising outlook. The question now is whether the recent positive momentum of the third largest cryptocurrency will continue into the coming month, quarter, and even the entire year ahead.

Based on historical data, January and the first quarter often show a downtrend for XRP, with an average return of -12.4% for January alone. Yet, over the last five years, the token’s price has experienced triple-digit positive returns on three separate occasions. This suggests that the trend could be changing as the crypto market continues to develop.

Nothing set in stone

The historical price trends of digital assets may not serve as the definitive gauge due to the unpredictable and volatile nature of the market, but for assets like XRP, which have over a decade of public trading history, they can provide a reliable means to forecast the future or at least offer some insight into it.
