XRP sees gradual rebound in September: Is a bull run next?

    XRP has seen a 3% price increase in early September, sparking bullish sentiment among analysts.
    Despite the positive outlook, declining active addresses raise questions about the sustainability of this rally.

As a seasoned researcher with over a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I’ve seen my fair share of bull runs and bear markets. The recent price increase in XRP has certainly caught my attention, especially given its potential to replicate the massive surge it experienced in 2017-2018.


Following a substantial decrease in August, which saw Ripple‘s [XRP] price fall to a low of $0.43 on the 5th of August, it appears that the asset is taking a new path as we enter into September.

Over the recent span of days, I’ve noticed a glimmer of recovery in XRP‘s performance. At present, it is trading at approximately $0.5668, representing a 3% surge in value over the last 24 hours. This upward price movement has instilled a degree of optimism among investors, particularly given the bearish sentiment that characterized the tail end of August.
