Talks of an XRP “super cycle” have resurfaced in crypto circles — but a key technical indicator on the weekly chart is sending a warning. Analyst Ali Martinez shared a weekly XRP price chart on X, noting, “I’m hearing about a $XRP super cycle…” The term “super cycle” refers to a sustained and broad-based expansion in an asset, a narrative that recently gained traction after posts like YoungHoon Kim’s claim that “XRP is in a super cycle.” Martinez’s chart focuses on the SuperTrend indicator, which is designed to flag whether an asset is in a bullish or bearish phase. The SuperTrend uses the Average True Range (ATR) to build a single trendline that flips between acting as support or resistance depending on which side the price sits. When price is above the line, the signal is bullish; when price falls below, the indicator issues a sell or bearish signal. According to the weekly SuperTrend, XRP spent much of 2025 trading above the trendline—consistent with a bullish regime—but the indicator reversed by year-end and the token has remained under the SuperTrend line since. From the indicator’s perspective, that constitutes a sell signal and suggests that the bullish trend is no longer dominant. Whether price can muster enough momentum to push back above the SuperTrend and reassert a bullish regime remains to be seen. The SuperTrend hasn’t been signaling the same for every token. Martinez also pointed out that Solana (SOL) recently flipped bullish on the 1-day SuperTrend after a recovery rally lifted its daily price above the trendline; SOL had been under that line since Q4 2025. Price snapshot: while much of the crypto market saw gains over the past week, XRP lagged, sliding about 2% to $2.07. Traders and analysts will be watching whether XRP can reclaim the SuperTrend line — a move that would convert the current sell signal back into bullish territory.
