XRP Bulls Eye September Rally as Bitcoin Battle Intensifies

XRP has been struggling against Bitcoin in 2026, but market commentator EGRAG Crypto thinks it could see a rally in September. According to historical data, XRP has gained an average of 17% in September, while October has seen an average decline of 19.6%. The trend then turns positive again, with November averaging a 30.5% gain and December averaging a 44.1% gain.

EGRAG believes that the sequence is more important than the averages themselves. Historically, September has marked a rotation, October has brought a shakeout, November has seen expansion, and December has produced further acceleration. If this pattern plays out again, XRP could begin gaining ground against Bitcoin in September before facing another decline in October.

October has historically been one of the weaker months for XRP against Bitcoin. The pair finished lower in 11 of the last 13 Octobers, making it a period that investors may need to watch. However, previous years show that sharp losses in October have sometimes been followed by much stronger moves in November.
