XRP Rally Dreams Hit Wall As SuperTrend Indicator Turns Bearish

Despite growing online chatter about XRP entering a "super cycle" — a sustained period of market expansion — the cryptocurrency's weekly SuperTrend indicator has instead generated a sell signal.

What Happened: Weekly Indicator Turns Bearish

Analyst Ali Martinez posted the weekly XRP price chart on X, noting the disconnect between market sentiment and technical signals.

The SuperTrend indicator, which uses a single trendline built from Average True Range measurements to determine bullish or bearish trends, showed XRP trading below its key level.

The token spent 2025 above the SuperTrend line, indicating bullish momentum. A reversal occurred at year's end, and XRP has remained beneath the trendline since.

YoungHoon Kim, who claims to hold the world's highest IQ, declared on X that "XRP is in a super cycle."

Martinez's analysis suggests otherwise.

Why It Matters: Mixed Signals Across Markets

XRP is not alone in experiencing SuperTrend shifts.

Martinez noted that Solana recently turned bullish on the same indicator after its daily price climbed above the trendline following a recovery rally.

SOL had been stuck below its SuperTrend line since late 2025. XRP, meanwhile, has dropped 2% over the past week to $2.07, underperforming the broader digital asset sector.
