XRP ‘Super Cycle’ talk runs into a weekly SuperTrend sell signal

• Chatter about an XRP “super cycle” has picked up, but the weekly SuperTrend is flashing a sell signal instead.

• Analyst Ali Martinez says XRP flipped below its SuperTrend line at the end of 2025, a shift that typically marks bearish control in that indicator’s framework.

• Over the past week, XRP has fallen 2% to $2.07 even as much of the digital asset sector moved higher.

Talk of an XRP “super cycle” has surfaced again in recent days, but one widely watched trend indicator is pointing the other way. On the weekly chart, XRP’s SuperTrend has printed a sell signal, according to analyst Ali Martinez.

Weekly SuperTrend flips bearish for XRP

In a new post on X, Martinez shared a weekly XRP chart and wrote, “I’m hearing about a $XRP super cycle…” The phrase “super cycle” is often used to describe a prolonged expansion phase for an asset.

Online discussion has included comments from 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 post. Whether that narrative holds up is uncertain, but Martinez’s chart frames XRP through the lens of the SuperTrend indicator.

SuperTrend is commonly used to identify whether an asset is trending bullish or bearish. It plots a single line that behaves as either resistance or support depending on which side of it price is trading. The line is built using the Average True Range (ATR), an indicator that measures, broadly, how much volatility the price is experiencing.

What the indicator is showing

Martinez’s chart suggests that XRP traded above the SuperTrend line through 2025, which would have signaled a bullish regime from the indicator’s perspective. XRP ended the year with a reversal in the SuperTrend, however, and has remained below the line since then — a setup that implies bullish control is no longer dominant, at least according to this tool.

Whether the signal holds the way it did during 2025 is the open question. A renewed push higher could force another reversal in the indicator, but for now the weekly SuperTrend is not confirming the “super cycle” narrative.

Solana sees a different SuperTrend shift

XRP is not the only large-cap crypto seeing a SuperTrend change recently. In another X post, Martinez noted that Solana (SOL) has shifted in the opposite direction: the indicator has turned bullish after the latest recovery rally pushed SOL’s 1-day price above the trendline. Previously, Solana had been trading below the SuperTrend line since the last quarter of 2025.
