The phrase “Uptober” has gained popularity in the crypto market, as October has historically delivered gains in the past. For the XRP price, however, the picture looks very different. A closer look at its history shows a mix of big wins and painful losses, making October far less predictable. Removing the extreme years shows that the data points to flat or negative results, which means investors counting on an explosive rally may end up disappointed. Although the last quarter of the year has brought substantial gains in some cases, the overall record remains inconsistent, suggesting that “Uptober” may be more of a myth than a promise for XRP holders. Historical Data Challenges The “Uptober” Hype For XRP Price Every October, the crypto community hopes that coins will rise, and while Bitcoin sometimes lives up to this expectation, XRP’s history tells a different story. Data from CryptoRank shows that XRP has experienced some notable fluctuations in October over the last decade. In 2013, the token soared by more than 94%. In 2014, it jumped 130%. In 2020, it even delivered an explosive rally of nearly 179% in just one month. Related Reading: Pundit Says Bitcoin Is Still In A Bull Market Despite Price Crash; Here’s Why But these massive rallies are rare. In many other years, the results were disappointing. For example, the XRP price suffered double-digit losses in October of 2018 and 2021. In other years, gains were delivered only in tiny amounts, far below what traders had hoped for. Stripping away the highs and lows makes the overall trend clear. The median October return for XRP is actually a slight loss of 1.79%, and the average return is even worse at -4.58%. This data suggests that October is far more likely to bring disappointment than explosive growth for XRP holders. While the idea of “Uptober” may sound exciting, the history of XRP shows its performance in October is scattered, unpredictable, and often hostile. Q4 Patterns Show Risk Of Relying On Seasonal Myths Some traders argue that even if October is not always a great month, the XRP price usually performs well in the final quarter of the year. Indeed, the last quarter has sometimes delivered big rallies, and the average Q4 return for XRP is nearly 88%. But these results are heavily skewed by a few extraordinary years. When the numbers are balanced, the median return for Q4 is actually a loss of 4.32%. Related Reading: XRP Holders Could Lose Millions Of Dollars In 10 Days, Here’s Why The negative median Q4 return shows that the perception of Q4 strength is not as reliable as many believe. The standout rallies do not represent the typical outcome. Instead, most years end up modest or even negative. The pattern points to risk, not certainty, for those who assume every Q4 will bring green candles. Past data proves that while extraordinary runs are possible, they are rare, and the more common result is far less exciting. XRP could still surprise to the upside, but history warns against treating October as a guaranteed month of gains. Believing the hype without considering the risks may leave investors unprepared for disappointment. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin is up 71% over the past year, but investors still feel frustrated with the recent performance of the world’s largest cryptocurrency. That’s because Bitcoin is down nearly 10% from its all-time high of $124,000 last month, currently trading around $112,000. Overall, Bitcoin remains one of the best-performing assets in history. However, lately, it seems to be stuck in a slump. Is this a bug in Bitcoin’s code? At least one analyst, Jordi Visser, believes the pullbacks are actually part of steady growth and warns that more pullbacks could become common even as Bitcoin continues to rise. This brings us to Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which could be one of the next crypto to explode given the bullish context bubbling up. The Nvidia Parallel Visser compares Nvidia, the semiconductor giant whose stock skyrocketed during the AI boom. Less than three years after ChatGPT’s rise, Nvidia’s stock surged by over 1,000%. Yet during that ascent, it weathered five corrections of 20% or more before reclaiming higher highs. The comparison makes sense, according to Visser, because Bitcoin isn’t just a digital currency or a speculative investment – it’s becoming part of the larger AI and tech conversation. As AI transforms traditional industries and replaces old business models, investors may start to view $BTC as both a hedge against disruption and the native digital store of value for the next wave of innovation. Visser has written about this before, highlighting how AI and crypto innovation aren’t simply a progression of technology, but a fundamental reworking of core institutions, such as banking (through crypto) and production itself (through AI). In that telling, capital might flow into Bitcoin alongside AI-favored equities, tying its trajectory to momentum in the tech sector. Possible Pathways Forward Visser’s outlook doesn’t preclude further upside; his prediction about Bitcoin’s connection with AI actually adds weight to Bitcoin’s long-term outlook. Still, Visser warns that deep pullbacks may punctuate the rally. On the technical side, EMAs still paint a bullish picture, despite recent narrowing. A similar narrowing of the EMA bands occurred before the surge in $BTC’s price in July, building up to August’s ATH. Stablecoins, Bitcoin, DeFi – crypto’s many use cases increasingly point to a continued crypto revolution. Corrections aside, Bitcoin could be set for continued long-term growth as blockchain and AI tech feed on each other. That makes projects like Bitcoin Hyper, with a problem-solving Bitcoin Layer 2, even more critical. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Faster, Cheaper Bitcoin Transactions for Ecosystem Growth Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) tackles some of Bitcoin’s biggest limitations head-on. Bitcoin processes an average of 7 transactions per second; by leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine, Hyper processes several thousand. Bitcoin suffers from congestion and low throughput, but Hyper relies on Solana’s greater scalability. With the SVM and a Bitcoin Canonical Bridge, all the tools and features that investors typically find on Solana are now open to Bitcoin. That means meme coins, DeFi, native staking – the whole works. Bitcoin Hyper actually provides a hybrid architecture, utilizing a bridge to the SVM for wrapped Bitcoin, while reserving final transaction settlement for Layer 1. You can learn how to buy $HYPER with our guide. Given the broader market and some traders’ frustration with Bitcoin’s performance, it’s not surprising that $HYPER is attracting significant presale investment as investors learn more about what Hyper is. The presale has already surpassed $18.8M, with tokens priced at just $0.012995. Don’t overlook Bitcoin Hyper’s potential – read more at the official website. Jordi Visser offers a bullish Bitcoin picture, at least for the long term. Corrections won’t derail an ongoing bull run – they’re likely vital components of it. Suppose Bitcoin follows the pattern of Nvidia and undergoes multiple steep pullbacks en route to higher highs. In that case, it won’t necessarily herald a collapse, but could actually indicate just how far Bitcoin Hyper—and Bitcoin itself—could go.
