$XRP

The XRP price ended the month of December at around $2.08 after a period of back and forth between gains and declines. Although it ended December just above the $2 mark, the XRP price went through a bullish period in the first half of the month, which saw it peaking around $2.9, its peak price in over six years. 

Despite ending the month at a 28% decline from this six-year peak, XRP has nonetheless achieved the highest monthly candle body close in its history. This interesting phenomenon was noted by crypto analyst Tony Severino, who also suggested that the XRP price is on track to reach $13 this cycle.
