The deepest XRP drawdown
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −79.5%: from the peak in April 2021 to the bottom in August 2022, taking 16 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.
How long since the high
It has been 22 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.

Does XRP have a seasonal pattern
Which month XRP rose in most often

Why the number of observations beats the average percentage
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 8 observations is 8 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this

Where to check the XRP price across exchanges
What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.
The XRP price gap between exchanges
XRP costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.
How much XRP you can actually buy at that price
Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.
Moving XRP between platforms
And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
