XRP Could Skyrocket 470% If History Repeats, SuperTrend Indicator Suggests
XRP Could Skyrocket 470% If History Repeats, SuperTrend Indicator Suggests In a technical analysis shared on X, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) has drawn attention to a potentially significant bullish signal for XRP. Martinez highlighted that the SuperTrend indicator, applied to the 12-hour chart of XRP/USDT, has flipped to a bullish orientation—a pattern that preceded a meteoric 470% price surge the last time. “The last time the SuperTrend indicator flipped bullish on the 12-hour chart, XRP went up 470%… It just flipped bullish again,” Martinez wrote via X and shared the below chart.

It overlays on price charts and helps traders identify the prevailing market trend by adjusting dynamically based on volatility. The indicator primarily utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to determine its position relative to price movements, providing clear buy and sell signals. The SuperTrend is calculated using the ATR and a multiplier (commonly set to 3). It plots a line above or below the price, switching its position when price crosses these levels. A bullish flip occurs when the indicator moves below the price, signaling a potential uptrend. Conversely, a bearish flip happens when it moves above the price, indicating a possible downtrend. Martinez referenced the last instance where the SuperTrend indicator flipped to bullish on XRP’s 12-hour chart, subsequently leading to a staggering 470% price increase. The last bullish flip occurred in November last year, where XRP was trading at approximately $0.50. Following the flip, XRP entered a robust uptrend, breaking through key resistance levels and reaching a peak of $2.90 on December 3, representing a 470% gain from its pre-flip valuation. As per Martinez, the SuperTrend indicator on the 12-hour chart has again flipped to bullish. This resurgence suggests a potential repetition of the previous explosive upward movement. Notably, the bullish SuperTrend aligns with a bullish chart setup in the weekly chart. Last week, XRP bounced off the crucial support at $1.96, and is now eying a weekly close above the 1.272 Fibonacci extension level at $2.42. A decisive break above this resistance, coupled with sustained volume, could propel the price towards the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level at $3.00. Based on the historical precedent, if XRP mirrors the previous pattern, the price target could be much higher. A 470% increase would target a price level of approximately $13.80. At press time, XRP traded at $2.44.
