$XRP Faces Historically Bullish April: Can New Month Deliver 24% Gain in 2026?

XRP closes March at $1.38, but price history points to a massive shift. With a 24.8% average gain in April, can 2026's Ripple and ETF news trigger a repeat of the bull run?

The XRP market has stalled in anticipation of April, which historically has been one of the most successful months for the asset, according to price history. Amid the current consolidation around $1.34-$1.40, the possibility of repeating a historical scenario has come to the forefront, with XRP’s average April return over recent years standing at an impressive 24.8%, according to CryptoRank.

Why April could be turning point for XRP after "red March" March 2026 turned out to be a difficult month for the coin. After a brief surge above $1.50, the price of XRP corrected, ending the month with a negative performance of about -3%. However, this pullback is what creates a technical base for a potential rebound.

If at the beginning of April the market receives a green light for the launch of new institutional products, the inflow of institutional capital could easily push prices toward the target of $1.50 and above to $1.70, which aligns with the historical 24% increase.
