Is the XRP "Super Cycle" in question? Weekly trend indicator signals a sell

XRP-3,48%
SOL-2,41%

January 16 News, recent discussions about XRP being in a “super cycle” have attracted market attention, but technical analysis shows that the weekly super trend indicator for this digital asset has issued a sell signal. Analyst Ali Martinez pointed out on the X platform that although there are rumors online that XRP is experiencing a long-term upward cycle, the super trend indicator suggests a different picture.

The super trend indicator determines whether an asset is in an uptrend or downtrend by using trend lines and combines the Average True Range (ATR) to measure price volatility. When the price is above the trend line, the asset is considered to be in an uptrend; conversely, it indicates downward pressure. Martinez noted that since the end of 2025, XRP's price has fallen below the weekly super trend line, indicating that the upward momentum has weakened and the trend is no longer dominant.

Online, including crypto analyst YoungHoon Kim, discussions about the possibility of a super cycle for XRP continue, but from the indicator's perspective, investors should remain cautious. Recently, XRP's price has decreased by about 2% over a week, trading at $2.07, showing that the coin remains under pressure despite most digital assets being in an upward phase.

Meanwhile, other cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) have recently turned bullish according to their super trend indicators, with the daily price breaking above the trend line, indicating a rebound. This shows that different cryptocurrencies perform differently on the SuperTrend indicator, and investors should combine technical indicators with market sentiment for comprehensive analysis.

Overall, although the idea of a super cycle for XRP is quite attractive, technical indicators suggest that its trend may face some adjustment pressure. Investors should pay attention to the signals from the weekly super trend indicator while considering XRP's long-term upside potential, to better judge short-term price movements and market risks.

In April 2026, the XRP price pulled back to $1.33, down about 4%.
