XRP has recorded its first three-month winning streak of the third quarter, and that signal matters more than any single week's move. This week XRPUSDT went from 1.5159 USDT to 1.5419 USDT, a gain of 1.72%. Out of 200 weekly samples, 78 weeks were stronger. For anyone tracking whether bullish momentum can continue, the question is not how much this week gained, but where it sits in XRP's history and whether the final two sessions changed the rhythm.
Seven days that dipped first and pulled back later
The first four sessions of the week were a pullback: September 28 fell 1.31%, September 29 fell 0.41%, September 30 fell 0.05%, with the decline shrinking each day. October 1 turned to a gain of 0.31%, and October 2 rose 3.22%, pulling the weekly line back to a positive 1.72%. Daily data below:
| Date | open (USDT) | close (USDT) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | 1.534 | 1.5677 | 2.2% |
| 2026-09-26 | 1.5678 | 1.5264 | -2.64% |
| 2026-09-27 | 1.5265 | 1.5159 | -0.69% |
| 2026-09-28 | 1.5159 | 1.4961 | -1.31% |
| 2026-09-29 | 1.4961 | 1.49 | -0.41% |
| 2026-09-30 | 1.4899 | 1.4892 | -0.05% |
| 2026-10-01 | 1.4891 | 1.4937 | 0.31% |
| 2026-10-02 | 1.4938 | 1.5419 | 3.22% |
Three key days stand out. September 26 fell 2.64%, the largest drop of the week, opening at 1.5678 USDT and closing at 1.5264 USDT, giving back the prior day's entire gain. September 30 fell 0.05%, opening at 1.4899 USDT and closing at 1.4892 USDT, nearly flat, marking where the decline stopped. October 2 rose 3.22%, opening at 1.4938 USDT and closing at 1.5419 USDT, a single-day gain larger than all other sessions combined, turning the week positive. This structure suggests selling pressure was released midweek, and buying in the final two days pushed price back toward, but not past, the September 25 close of 1.5677 USDT.
78 of 200 weeks were stronger than this one
Placing this week's 1.72% against XRPUSDT's 200 weekly samples, 78 weeks were stronger, putting this week in the lower-middle range. Among stronger weeks, the week of 2023-07-10 gained 59.53%, opening at 0.4678 USDT and closing at 0.7463 USDT; the week of 2024-11-11 gained 79.18%, opening at 0.5888 USDT and closing at 1.055 USDT; the week of 2024-11-25 gained 60.04%, opening at 1.4335 USDT and closing at 2.2942 USDT; the week of 2026-08-17 gained 53.09%, opening at 0.9929 USDT and closing at 1.52 USDT.
| Stronger week start | open (USDT) | close (USDT) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-07-10 | 0.4678 | 0.7463 | 59.53% |
| 2024-11-11 | 0.5888 | 1.055 | 79.18% |
| 2024-11-25 | 1.4335 | 2.2942 | 60.04% |
| 2026-08-17 | 0.9929 | 1.52 | 53.09% |
| 2026-09-21 | 1.4098 | 1.5159 | 7.53% |
| 2026-09-14 | 1.3401 | 1.4099 | 5.21% |
Recent comparisons are also telling. The week of 2026-09-21 gained 7.53%, opening at 1.4098 USDT and closing at 1.5159 USDT; the week of 2026-09-14 gained 5.21%, opening at 1.3401 USDT and closing at 1.4099 USDT. Both were stronger than this week's 1.72%, and both occurred within the past month. In other words, XRP has had stronger weeks recently. This week's 1.72% arrives against a three-month winning streak, but the single-week strength has not set a recent record.
What popular posts on the Square say
Popular posts on the Square argue that XRP's first three-month winning streak of Q3 signals sentiment recovering from earlier lows, with bulls willing to buy on pullbacks (relayed, not the site's view). Some posts note that the final two sessions closing green, especially October 2's 3.22% gain, show short-term momentum regrouping (relayed, not the site's view). Others suggest that a three-month winning streak is uncommon in XRP's history, and the next question is whether bulls can push weekly gains beyond the 1.72% magnitude (relayed, not the site's view). All these views point to the same observation: momentum continuity, not the weekly move itself.
Three honest points
First, gaps and wicks are common in perpetual contracts. This week, September 26 fell from 1.5678 USDT to 1.5264 USDT, erasing the prior day's gain in one session, which can shake out anyone judging by daily closes. Second, high leverage amplifies daily-level drawdowns. September 28 fell 1.31%, September 29 fell 0.41%, and September 30 fell 0.05%. Three small declines look mild, but under high leverage, account equity swings far more. Third, funding rates and holding costs affect actual P&L. A weekly gain of 1.72% does not mean every holder earned that; entry points differ, and outcomes vary widely.
One more point deserves its own line: the best week is a conclusion in hindsight. The week of 2024-11-11 gained 79.18%, the week of 2024-11-25 gained 60.04%, and the week of 2026-08-17 gained 53.09%. These numbers are only known afterward; nobody inside those weeks knew how they would end. This week's 1.72% sits in the lower-middle of 200 weekly samples, with 78 weeks stronger. That position neither proves momentum has faded nor signals imminent acceleration. Treating the three-month winning streak as an observation window is more appropriate than treating it as a trading signal.
