XRP is trading in one of its most important technical zones of the year, with 
a new two-week chart analysis arguing that the larger Elliott Wave structure 
has not broken down. The setup, which was shared by crypto analyst Dark 
Defender, places XRP near the end of a narrowing resistance and support apex, 
where the next major move could decide whether the cryptocurrency will still 
be trapped below short-term resistance or beg a stronger upward rally to 
defined resistance levels. XRP’s Elliott Wave Count Still Points To A Larger 
Bullish Structure Dark Defender’s analysis is built around the view that XRP’s 
primary Elliott Wave structure is still intact on the two-week candlestick 
timeframe chart. The chart shows XRP moving through a larger five-wave 
sequence, with the current price action around the end of Wave 4. Related

On? According to Elliott Wave theory, Wave 4 is the second corrective phase in 
a five-wave impulse that comes before the final Wave 5 expansion, provided the 
entire impulse structure is not invalidated by a breakdown. As shown in the 
chart below, XRP is being squeezed between a descending orange resistance line 
and a rising blue support line. The XRP price touched the blue support line in 
March and has created a few bullish 2-week candlesticks since then. The 
current candlestick touched the descending orange resistance line again, and 
this shows that XRP is running out of space to continue consolidating. The 
analyst highlighted support between $1.36 and $1.31. That range is important 
because XRP is already trading around $1.36, meaning the price action is 
testing the lower part of the setup in real time. A clean hold above this zone 
would keep the bullish wave count alive, while a loss of the area would 
discredit the possibility that the current structure is still preparing for a 
Wave 5 move. Fibonacci Price Levels To $8 The most important short-term battle 
is around the orange resistance line. Dark Defender said XRP will break that 
orange resistance and deliver a strong, strong run through the end of May. 
Since the rejection at $3.65 in July 2025, XRP has formed lower highs under 
that descending trendline, which is now around $1.47. Related Reading: Here’s 
How XRP Is Making Its Next Major Push Into The Trillion-Dollar Wall Street The 
projected path on the chart shows XRP breaking above $1.47 and then extending 
into the higher Fibonacci extensions. The first notable extension is a 161.80% 
extension at $1.8818. The 361.80% extension, a Fibonacci level associated with 
extended Wave 3 and Wave 5 completions in strong impulsive structures, maps to 
$3.5632. It is the 644.40% extension, however, that anchors the full bullish 
prediction of $8.7822, which is labeled as the Wave 5 target. Featured image
