XRP's August Jinx: Can it Break a Four-Year Losing Streak?

XRP's streak of strong Julys has come to an end with a minor 3% gain in July 2026, but can it defy its bearish August trend?

Data from CryptoRank shows that XRP has just equaled its best performance in terms of monthly gains since 2014.

This means that eight Julys have been in the green out of 13 for the cross-border token, with a consecutive streak extending to July 2020 when it skyrocketed by over 48%.

The reason XRP rebounded slightly from the June dump is due to ongoing global uncertainty, inflation fears, and raging wars.

However, history shows that only four out of the 13 Augusts on record have ended higher for XRP, with two massive gains in 2017 and 2021 taking place during a bull market.
