XRP In A Super Cycle? SuperTrend Suggests Another Story

Talks of an XRP “super cycle” have emerged recently, but the cryptocurrency’s weekly SuperTrend has formed a sell signal instead. XRP SuperTrend Has Formed A Sell Signal In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared the weekly XRP price chart, writing, “I’m hearing about a $XRP super cycle…” The “super cycle” is the popular term for a sustained period of expansion in an asset.

Whether the idea of a super cycle for the cryptocurrency holds weight remains unclear, but Martinez’ chart showcases the asset’s trajectory from the lens of a technical analysis (TA) indicator known as the “SuperTrend.” The SuperTrend is used for finding whether a given asset is following a bullish or bearish trend. It involves only one trendline, which acts as either resistance or support depending upon which side of it the price is trading. This trendline is built using another indicator called the Average True Range (ATR), which gauges, in brief, the degree of volatility that the asset’s price is experiencing. From the above chart, it’s visible that the 1-week price of XRP was above the SuperTrend line in 2025, meaning that a bullish trend was active for the cryptocurrency from the indicator’s perspective. The coin ended the year with a reversal in the SuperTrend, however, and it has since remained under the trendline. Thus, at least this indicator would suggest that a bullish regime is no longer dominant for the digital asset. Only time will tell, though, whether the SuperTrend will hold for XRP like it did during 2025 or if bullish momentum will see a fresh continuation, leading to another reversal in the indicator.

As the analyst has pointed out in another X post, Solana (SOL) has also seen a shift in the indicator. As displayed in the graph, Solana has just turned bullish on the SuperTrend after the latest recovery rally took its 1-day price above the trendline. Previously, the cryptocurrency had been stuck under the SuperTrend trendline since the last quarter of 2025. XRP Price While most of the digital asset sector has enjoyed an uptick during the past week, XRP is underwater in the period as its price has gone down 2% to $2.07.
