XRP TD Sequential Buy Signal — Last Three Led to 18%–31% Rebounds

XRP is trading at $1.30 — up 0.80% in the past 24 hours, with a market cap of $82.3 billion — and a high-conviction technical signal has just appeared on its 3-day chart. The TD Sequential has printed a ‘9’ buy signal, a reading that has preceded rebounds of 31%, 24%, and 18% in its three most recent appearances. Three-for-three is a track record that demands attention.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@alicharts) flagged the signal on October 27, 2026: “The TD Sequential has flashed a buy signal on the $XRP 3-day chart. The last three similar signals triggered rebounds of 31%, 24%, and 18%. That makes the latest signal worth paying attention to. But everything depends on $1.25.” The analyst identifies $1.25 as the line that separates a replay of those rebounds from a continuation of the current selling pressure — with $0.98 as the downside target if that level fails.

The TD Sequential — How It Works and What It Just Said

The TD Sequential counts nine consecutive candlesticks each closing lower than the close four bars prior. When the count reaches nine, it identifies momentum exhaustion — not a price level, not a trend reversal guarantee. It is a signal that selling pressure has statistically run its course and a counter-move is overdue. On XRP’s 3-day chart, that count has now completed for the fourth time in the visible history of this signal cycle.

The chart shared by @alicharts plots XRP/USD on a 3-day timeframe spanning approximately April through October 2026. Four TD Sequential signals are marked with triangles beneath candles. The three historical ‘9’ signals each produced labeled rebounds directly on the chart: +31.26%, +24.38%, and +18.65%. A fourth historical label of +71.88% appears over a completed August spike. The current ‘9’ signal appears at the rightmost bars, with XRP at $1.299 — marked with a dashed horizontal line at the signal trigger point. No confirmed breakout has occurred yet; the pattern is still forming.

The historical track record across all three prior instances is summarized below:

$1.25 — The Critical Support Level

Martinez is explicit: the entire thesis rests on $1.25. This is not an arbitrary technical level — it is the line the analyst has identified as the floor that must hold for the TD Sequential signal to activate. The current price of $1.30 sits just 3.8% above that threshold, meaning the margin is thin.

Hold $1.25 and the prior rebound range of 18%–31% puts the immediate target at $1.40, per Martinez’s published analysis. That would represent a roughly 7.7% move from current levels — modest by XRP standards but directionally consistent with each prior TD Sequential resolution on this timeframe.

Lose $1.25 and the analyst’s stated next destination is $0.98 — a drop of 24.6% from the current price of $1.30. That level aligns with a significant prior support zone and represents the scenario Martinez flagged in a separate thread dated October 25: “XRP WILL DROP TO $0.98 IF WHALES KEEP SELLING.” Ongoing whale profit-taking remains the primary risk to the buy signal playing out.

ETF Flows and Macro Context

XRP spot ETF data via SoSoValue adds a layer of nuance. The latest trading session on October 26 logged a daily net outflow of $3.6 million, with total ETF net assets standing at $1.47 billion and cumulative net inflows since launch at $1.80 billion. Over the past five trading days, the net position is a modest +$645,000 — split across two inflow days and three outflow days. The ETF flow picture is not yet confirming institutional conviction in either direction, which keeps the $1.25 hold test as the primary near-term determinant.

Macro data releases this week add timing sensitivity. Core PCE Price Index (MoM and YoY) and GDP (QoQ) are due on October 28 — the day after this signal was flagged. A hotter-than-expected PCE reading could pressure risk assets broadly and accelerate a test of the $1.25 level before the TD Sequential has time to resolve. GDP and PMI data through early November will determine whether the macro backdrop supports or suppresses an XRP rebound. Traders watching the signal would do well to track these releases alongside price action at $1.25.

Bullish and Bearish Scenarios

Bullish Scenario — Hold $1.25, Target $1.40

If XRP holds $1.25 on a 3-day closing basis, the TD Sequential buy signal aligns with all three prior precedents. The analyst’s stated rebound target is $1.40 — consistent with the lower end of the 18%–31% historical range applied from the $1.25 floor. Each prior signal resolved with at minimum an 18.65% counter-move from the signal zone.

Bearish Scenario — Loss of $1.25, Target $0.98

A 3-day close below $1.25 invalidates the TD Sequential setup entirely. Martinez has explicitly named $0.98 as the next downside target in that scenario — a 24.6% decline from the current $1.30 price. The bear case is driven by whale profit-taking pressure identified in the analyst’s concurrent thread, and the ETF outflow data does not yet offer a counterbalancing institutional bid.

What the Signal Says — and What It Doesn’t

The TD Sequential ‘9’ on XRP’s 3-day chart is a momentum exhaustion signal — it identifies that selling pressure has reached a statistically recurring extreme. It does not specify the direction of the next move, and it does not guarantee a rebound. What makes the current reading notable is the consistency of the prior three outcomes: every prior instance on this timeframe produced a positive counter-move, ranging from 18.65% to 31.26%. The signal is 3-for-3.

What it doesn’t say: the magnitude of the next move is predetermined, or that the rebound begins immediately. The pattern is still forming. Price has not yet confirmed a directional break. The signal creates a probability window — not a purchase order.

What to watch for continuation: a 3-day close above $1.25 that holds for at least one subsequent bar, with declining selling volume from the whale distribution identified by Martinez. Those two conditions together would mark the earliest confirmation that the fourth TD Sequential on this timeframe is tracking its predecessors. Readers tracking similar momentum exhaustion setups in other assets may also find the recent analysis on SUI hitting a buy-the-dip zone at $0.91 a useful parallel.

The XRP TD Sequential is 3-for-3. Whether it becomes 4-for-4 will be answered at $1.25 and $1.40 in the sessions ahead.
