Recent research from Japanese blockchain firm HashHub has drawn attention to XRP’s potential for heightened market volatility in the final quarter of 2024. XRP community figure Eri highlighted the report, suggesting that this increased volatility could be a precursor to a significant price appreciation.
The HashHub research scrutinized XRP’s price behavior over the past year and a half. It revealed a notable period of stability across 2023 and the first half of 2024. Violin plots, a statistical visualization tool, demonstrated a consistent price floor around the $0.52 mark. Despite market fluctuations, XRP demonstrated resilience by maintaining prices above this benchmark.
In Q3 of 2023, XRP’s average price was $0.574, with a median price of $0.521. Conversely, Q4 of 2023 witnessed a surge in average and median prices to $0.593 and $0.613 respectively, signaling a robust upward trend and heightened market volatility.
Subsequently, a period of market stabilization occurred in Q1 of 2024, with average and median prices stabilizing at $0.577 and $0.575. However, a downward trajectory commenced in Q2 of 2024, as the average price declined to $0.523 and the median price to $0.518, indicating a loss of upward momentum.
The research suggests a correlation between periods of increased XRP volatility and subsequent price surges. Historical data indicates that when XRP experienced significant volatility spikes, it often preceded notable price rallies.
For instance, in December 2017 and April 2021, substantial increases in XRP’s 4-week volatility, as measured by Santiment, coincided with pronounced price uptrends.
Furthermore, XRP’s weekly Historical Volatility (HV) indicator, which quantifies price fluctuations over time, supports this hypothesis. A low HV level has persisted for XRP, but historical data reveals that sharp increases in HV have consistently preceded substantial price gains.
Based on these findings, the research posits that XRP could enter a period of increased volatility in Q4 2024, potentially leading to a significant price surge. While the current market conditions are neutral, as indicated by the Chande Kroll Stop indicator, any substantial market movement could trigger a new trend aligned with the predicted volatility increase.
The research underscores the importance of closely monitoring XRP’s volatility metrics in the coming months. A surge in volatility could signal an impending price rally, offering a potential opportunity for investors. However, it is essential to approach any investment decision and conduct thorough due diligence cautiously.
