The monthly XRP/USD chart shows a clear sequence of red candles stretching from late 2025 into early 2026. Each candle has closed below its open, forming a steady downward staircase from above $3.00 to the current range between $1.30 and $1.40.
Interestingly, this is part of an extended run of price corrections since XRP reached an all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025. Since this all-time high, XRP has only created one green monthly candlestick, which was in September 2025.
XRP opened February around $1.64. If February closes below this price level, it would mark five consecutive monthly declines. The last time XRP’s price action had five consecutive red months was in early 2017, a period that ultimately preceded one of XRP’s strongest bull phases. The only other time before then was when it printed six straight red monthly candles in 2014.
From a probability standpoint, XRP’s recovery could be much more steady over time, not through an immediate parabolic surge. That would likely involve reclaiming intermediate resistance zones first, including the $1.60, $2.00, and $2.50 levels, before a push above $2.80 and $3.00.
