A rare technical signal on Ripple’s XRP is back in focus, sparking renewed excitement among traders. Often referred to as the “Bull Switch,” this pattern has only appeared a handful of times in over a decade of price history— and a notable upside move followed each previous instance.
With the signal flashing again, market watchers are now debating whether XRP could be on the verge of another massive momentum shift.
XRP’s Historical Move-Triggering Setup Reappears
Popular technical analyst ChartNerd has identified a rare “Bull Switch” signal on XRP’s long-term chart, a setup he says has only appeared three times in the past 13 years.
Historically, each occurrence was followed by a strong upward rally, prompting renewed attention as the pundit watches closely to see if history may be repeating itself once again.
The analyst’s captioned chart suggests that each “Bull Switch” appearance on XRP has historically aligned with significant upside phases, notably in 2017, 2021, and again in 2025. In every instance, the signal emerged after extended consolidation periods—often followed by strong upward momentum, fueling speculation that a similar setup could be unfolding once more.
 
It’s worth noting that this “Bull Switch” indicator on XRP is described as a potential market turning point, where momentum shifts from bearish or neutral conditions into a sustained bullish phase. On the chart, these transitions are visually marked as moves from red zones to green zones, often preceding periods of stabilization followed by renewed upside momentum.
Over the last nine months, XRP has been locked in a bearish trend, plummeting from $3.66 to as low as sub-$1.15 before stabilizing. Now, ChartNerd believes the “Bull Switch” has flashed again—hinting at a possible shift into a new bullish phase.
As such, he suggests that if the pattern repeats, XRP could be positioning for another parabolic move in 2026.
Over the past 24 hours, XRP has lost about 2.5%. The cross-border payments token was changing hands at $1.39 at the time of this writing.
From a fundamental standpoint, institutional demand for XRP continues to hold steady, with U.S.-based spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recording ongoing inflows while exchange outflows tighten available supply, potentially lessening immediate selling pressure and constraining market float.
