Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto), a prominent crypto analyst on X, recently posted a chart showing XRP monthly candles for August across 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 and asked, “Will it be different this time?”
The image shows that XRP has historically experienced price declines in August. However, the 2025 panel shows a notable shift, with price action currently holding higher ground.
August Performance In Recent Years
The chart presents three consecutive years of August declines. In 2022, XRP lost 13.65% during the month, followed by a steeper drop of 26.75% in 2023.
In 2024, the August decline was smaller, at 9.09%, but continued the pattern of red monthly closes. These results have contributed to the perception of August as a historically challenging month for XRP.
August is an historical bad month for #XRP

2025’s Different Start
This year’s chart tells a more encouraging story. XRP began August with a pullback, falling below the $3 support level. However, the decline proved short-lived. Buyers stepped in, and the price recovered, regaining $3 shortly after. XRP currently remains in the green for August, breaking from the immediate downward momentum that has defined the month in previous years.
The current performance suggests the market is more resilient than in prior August sessions. The recovery back above $3 demonstrates strong buying interest and a willingness among traders to defend key levels. This has shifted sentiment toward a more optimistic outlook for the remainder of the month.

Bullish Expectations Moving Forward
Analysts monitoring the recovery have pointed to the regained $3 level as a sign of strength. Many expect this momentum to continue, raising the possibility that 2025 could be the year XRP finally breaks the August bearish streak. A green monthly close would mark a clear departure from the three-year pattern highlighted in Steph Is Crypto’s chart.
Other market factors have also contributed to XRP’s growth. Ripple and the SEC recently filed for dismissal of their appeals, ending their protracted legal battle and renewing the hope for increased XRP adoption. The asset jumped over 13% after this announcement, and is now trading at $3.36.
Prominent analysts have highlighted $3.64 as a crucial level that could set the digital asset on the path to double-digit targets. Notably, this level is XRP’s current all-time high, which was reached in July. If the asset can maintain its current momentum, it could smash through this level, reaching new heights, and reversing the historical August bearish trend.
