XRP’s price action is once again in the spotlight after prominent analyst Dark Defender resurfaced with a bold outlook, reinforcing his long-standing bullish thesis while highlighting a newly confirmed support zone around $2.2.
His latest update combines emotional messaging for long-term holders with a detailed Elliott Wave roadmap that points to double-digit XRP in the next major cycle.
A Message to Long-Term Holders
Dark Defender emphasized that XRP’s resilience has been tested repeatedly across many price levels, from as low as $0.11 to the current region around $2.2. His message: long-term supporters remained through every phase, and he expects them to remain through the next expansion phase as well.
According to him, breaking below $2.2222 remains extremely difficult, describing it as “unshakable support.” This level aligns with the Fibonacci 23.6% zone at $2.2280, reinforcing the idea that XRP has reached a critical accumulation area.
The Chart: Bullish Elliott Wave Structure Signals Major Breakout
Dark Defender’s chart outlines a classic five-wave Elliott Wave structure, currently positioned between Wave (2) and Wave (3):
- •Wave (1): The initial impulse leg earlier this year.
- •Wave (2): A correction that bottomed within a tight demand zone near $2.00–$2.20.
- •Wave (3): A major projected breakout leg that would push XRP back above $3.60, setting the stage for new highs.
- •Wave (4): A temporary retracement following the surge.
- •Wave (5): The explosive extension wave, with targets derived from Fibonacci projections.
The chart highlights two key extension targets:
- •261.8% extension at $5.8569
- •261.8% macro extension at $10.4765
Dark Defender further listed future checkpoints in his message: $5.85 and $18.22, aligning with his long-term macro Fibonacci models.
RSI Setup Supports Momentum Reversal
The RSI indicator in the chart shows a tightening consolidation with a bullish curl forming at the bottom of the range. This type of RSI behavior typically precedes momentum expansion, especially during the transition from Wave (2) into Wave (3).
The RSI pattern mirrors previous XRP breakouts, adding confluence to the bullish wave scenario.
Sentiment: “Road to Double Digits”
In his trademark motivational style, the analyst reminded followers that long-term believers stayed with XRP through every major level, and he expects them to stay through the projected rise to double-digit prices.
His message challenges traders to decide whether they will “jump in or drown in talking,” emphasizing conviction over fear.
Broader Context
XRP has recently stabilized above the key support levels after a volatile week across the crypto markets. With multiple analysts discussing potential ETF-driven repricing effects and long-term technical structures turning bullish, XRP continues drawing attention as one of the potential high-beta plays for the next crypto cycle.
Dark Defender’s latest update reinforces that narrative, arguing that the technical setup, Fibonacci structure, and psychological support zones all point to a major multi-wave rally ahead.
