• Worst Q3: 2015 (-61.5%) - nobody left to sell, but they sold anyway.
• Signal: July’s color matched Q3’s color seven out of ten times. Decent tell, but not the greatest.

Stuff You Didn’t Know

Five-year green streak: 2020-2024.

Red-run omen: The 2015-2019 string of red Julys preceded every capitulation low of that cycle. Pain before gain.

Volatility skew: Average green July is 1.6× bigger than the average red move- upside dominates, downside is quicker.

June hangover trick: A brutal June (-15% or worse) has historically doubled July’s bounce (see 2018 and 2020). Watch the warm-up.

Practical Takeaways

Mind July’s close. Green July tilts Q3 bullish 70% of the time.

Red July? Expect chop, shop discounts, and keep one eye on November’s magic.

Ride the wave, trail stops. Average green H2 melts faces; missing that hurts more than eating a -18% July.

July, broadly speaking, is one of the months traders refer to as 'the doldrums of trading'. This means price action can often feel stuck or disconnected, but that's not just for XRP, it's something all assets experience as people spend more time outside and with families during warmer weather.
