Talks of an XRP “super cycle” have recently emerged, but the cryptocurrency’s weekly SuperTrend has formed a sell signal instead.
XRP SuperTrend has formed a sell signal
In a new after on
There has been some talk online lately about an XRP super cycle, with one mention of YoungHoon Kim, who claims to be the holder of the world’s highest IQ. “XRP is in a super cycle,” Kim said in an X after.
Whether the idea of a super cycle for the cryptocurrency remains unclear, but Martinez’s chart shows the asset’s trajectory through the lens of a technical analysis (TA) indicator known as the ‘SuperTrend’.
The SuperTrend is used to determine whether a particular asset is following a bullish or bearish trend. It involves just one trendline, which acts as resistance or support depending on which side the price is trading on.
This trendline is built using another indicator, the Average True Range (ATR), which, in short, measures the degree of volatility experienced by the asset’s price.
From the chart above, it is visible that the 1-week price of XRP in 2025 was above the SuperTrend line, meaning that from the indicator’s perspective, a bullish trend was active for the cryptocurrency.
However, the coin ended the year with a SuperTrend reversal and has remained below the trendline ever since. So, at the very least, this indicator would indicate that a bullish regime is no longer dominant for digital assets.
Only time will tell if the SuperTrend for
XRP is not the only one to have witnessed a signal on the SuperTrend recently. As the analyst noted in another X afterSolana (SOL) has also seen a shift in the indicator.
As shown in the chart, Solana just turned bullish on the SuperTrend after the latest recovery rally took the 1-day price above the trendline. Previously, the cryptocurrency has been stuck below the SuperTrend trendline since the last quarter of 2025.
XRP price
While most of the digital asset sector has seen a rebound over the past week, XRP is underwater during this period as its price has fallen 2% to $2.07.
