5 Monthly Red Candles: How XRP Is About To Create A Historical Losing Streak

by

XRP’s high-timeframe structure is on the verge of a truly historic milestone-if by ‘historic’ you mean the kind of thing that makes investors reconsider their life choices. The cryptocurrency is still nursing its wounds after the euphoric highs of 2025, where it briefly soared above $3.00. Now, it’s limping along around $1.38, clinging to its dignity. If the current trajectory continues, February might close with the fifth consecutive red monthly candle. Yes, you heard that right-five. We’re officially in a streak, and not the kind you want to tell your friends about.

Such streaks are as rare as finding a unicorn in your backyard, and they have always been followed by either a dramatic reversal or a spectacular plunge. Now, as March sneaks up on us like a poorly timed plot twist, we can only wonder: will XRP extend its losing streak, or will it miraculously break free from this downward spiral and make a graceful exit off the downward escalator?

A Glimpse of the Red Abyss: Five Months of Pain

The monthly XRP/USD chart tells a story that’s less ‘rollercoaster’ and more ‘steep decline into financial despair.’ Each candle is redder than the last, descending from above $3.00 in late 2025 to the present sad little range of $1.30 to $1.40. It’s a steady downward staircase, and it’s not exactly something you’d hang on your wall as a masterpiece.

Interestingly, this red streak began after XRP hit an all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025. Since then, XRP has only managed to scrape together one green candle in September 2025. But let’s be real-one green candle hardly qualifies as a redemption arc.

If February closes below $1.64, it would mark five consecutive months of red candles. The last time this happened was in early 2017, a period that, oddly enough, led to one of XRP’s most impressive bull runs. The only other time before that? 2014, when XRP printed six red candles in a row. Because why not give the market a good scare once in a while?

But here’s where it gets interesting: history suggests that after a long losing streak, the selling pressure tends to slow down. At least, that’s the theory. XRP currently hovers above a critical support zone at $1.20, where it managed to halt further bleeding in early February. Is this the calm before the storm? Or just a temporary reprieve before another wave of disappointment?

Will March Be The Redemption Month?

As February wraps up, all eyes are on March. The question is: can XRP finally pull itself out of this rut? According to crypto analyst Bird on X, the odds are looking better for a green month than another red one. So, if you’re the optimistic type (or just like to gamble), there’s a good chance that March could break the red streak. But don’t start planning the victory party just yet.

Let’s be real-extended red streaks don’t automatically lead to fireworks. Some are speculating that a “God candle” might swoop in and erase all the losses of the past five months in one fell swoop. But let’s not kid ourselves-this market is bigger now, and that kind of dramatic recovery requires more than just a prayer. XRP’s market cap is much larger than during previous bull runs, and big rallies demand big capital inflows. If you’re expecting a sudden surge, you might want to lower those expectations-maybe just a tad.

In all likelihood, XRP’s recovery will be a slow burn, not a rocket launch. To get back on track, it will need to reclaim resistance zones like $1.60, $2.00, and $2.50 before aiming for the elusive $2.80 and $3.00. It’s like climbing a mountain-just a little slower and a lot more painful.
