<p dir="ltr">XRP is on a path to breaking a major historical record despite the seemingly visible slow growth many believe it has inked in the past few weeks. Unlike its peers, XRP has only managed to&nbsp;<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">grow by 5.05%</a> in 24 hours to $0.58. Amid this mild uptick, the coin has not surpassed the $0.6 price point, a level considered a pivotal point for it to chart new growth trends.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Throughout its history, the month of February has mostly ended up in losses for XRP. In fact, data from Cryptorank&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptorank.io/price/ripple/analytics" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shows</a> that over the past 10 years, XRP has only positively closed February just three times.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These include the 23.8% close in 2016, 1.13% in 2019 and 26.3% in 2022. With more months ending in losses, the average growth of XRP for February is in the negative, dropping as low as a 3.29% slump. The median growth rate is also down by 7.23%.&nbsp;</p> <img data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="45a21f18-7c44-4004-8e01-3f57295121ee" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/XRP%20Analysis.png"><a href="https://cryptorank-images.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/snapshots/649cfa4e0b5467dfb002e8d2.png" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP Historical Analytics.

<p dir="ltr">Per XRP’s current outlook, it might break the average and possibly the median growth rates if it can validate the 9% growth it has recorded in the month-to-date (MTD) period. Despite relatively slow growth, XRP bulls and retail holders may help the coin break the dormancy in its outlook month-on-month&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/xrp-litecoin-ltc-see-21-million-inflow-boost-amid-market-boom" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">if the current momentum is sustained</a>.</p>

<p>With Bitcoin's (BTC) price crossing the $58,000 benchmark amid a&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/key-reasons-why-bitcoin-btc-price-just-soared-past-57000" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sustained bullish ride</a>, the XRP correlation spells a positive omen for the cryptocurrency. This correlation might help the digital currency break the $0.6 barrier in the short term and possibly drive the price to a new pedestal.</p>
