YoungHoon Kim, who holds the verified world record for highest IQ at 276, made a bold call on X: the XRP supercycle is “just getting started.” The token trades near $1.05, down 70% from its July 2025 all-time high.
Whether you take Kim’s prediction seriously or not, the technical picture is interesting. Three bullish signals have fired simultaneously on XRP’s chart.
First, the Tom DeMark Sequential indicator printed a “9” buy signal on the daily chart. This pattern historically marks the end of downtrends and often precedes short-term relief rallies lasting one to four candles.
Second, a Morning Star Doji candlestick pattern formed across the past three sessions near the $1.02–$1.07 support zone. That’s a classic reversal signal.
Third, on-chain activity is picking up. Daily active addresses jumped from around 23,000 on June 14 to nearly 39,500. That kind of growth suggests genuine network engagement, not just speculative positioning.
Technical analyst ChartNerdTA points out that XRP’s cycle highs have averaged three to five years apart over the past decade. If a bottom forms in 2026, the next major top could land between 2028 and 2030.
Institutional interest remains steady, supported by ongoing spot ETF inflows and Ripple’s expanding cross-border payments business. The setup isn’t guaranteed, but it’s rare to see technical, on-chain, and narrative signals align like this.
