Each cell is the actual daily return on that Oct date in that year — one row per year, one column per calendar day.
This page cuts XRP's daily history two ways — average return by weekday for each year, and the actual daily return on every calendar date once a single month is picked. Most XRP days are near-zero drift — the dormancy that defines its grid at every grain — so its weekday averages sit flatter than almost any other large cap's. The exceptions are event days, which land on whatever weekday the news chose.
Each figure is a UTC daily close against the previous close, in USD; days after a data gap are excluded rather than smeared into the next day. XRP's data starts at its perpetual listing in early 2020. Long dormant stretches through the SEC-lawsuit years surround a handful of detonation months, most famously late 2024.
XRP's latest daily return is −0.14% for 11 October 2026, the daily close against the previous day's close on UTC boundaries. So far in October 2026, 5 of 11 trading days closed higher; the biggest up day was the 4th at +2.34% and the biggest down day was the 7th at −5.06%.
Across all years on record, Friday has the highest median average daily return for XRP at +0.49% per day, while Sunday is the weakest at −0.09%. In 2026 so far, Monday leads at +0.97% per day and Tuesday trails at −0.82%. Each cell is the mean of that weekday's daily returns within a year, so the numbers are small per day but add up over time.
XRP's median average daily return is +0.10% on Saturdays and −0.09% on Sundays, against an average of +0.26% per day across Monday to Friday. Crypto futures trade 24/7, so weekend candles are real trading days, not gaps.
By median average daily return across all years, the 14th of the month has been XRP's strongest calendar day at +1.53% and the 5th its weakest at −0.61%. 19 of the 31 calendar days carry a positive median. Day-of-month effects are noisy, so read them as texture rather than a rule.
Because most of its days were flat. XRP spent long stretches — notably the SEC-lawsuit years — drifting with low volatility, and its big days were event-driven rather than calendar-driven, so no weekday accumulates an edge.
XRP's history here begins at its first daily perpetual-futures candle on Binance in early 2020; every weekday and day-of-month figure is computed from that point forward — earlier spot-era history is not included.
Each day's UTC close divided by the previous day's UTC close, minus one, in USD. Days that follow a gap in the data are excluded so a multi-day move is never counted as one day.
