XRP may be approaching another important test after crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) said its 4-hour structure is almost complete. He reminded followers that he first shared the same setup on June 30 and said the pattern has continued to develop as expected.
Alongside the update, he identified $1.10 as very short-term support, while $1.13 and $1.22 stand as the next resistance levels to watch.

The Elliott Wave Path Toward $1.22
The attached chart outlines an Elliott Wave count that places XRP near the end of a corrective move before another potential advance. The projected path shows wave (4) finding support around the 161.8% Fibonacci extension near $1.1091 before wave (5) targets the 300% Fibonacci level at $1.1892 and the 361.8% extension near $1.2269.
XRP recently climbed into the 261.8% Fibonacci area around $1.1665 before pulling back. Even with that retracement, the projected structure remains intact on the chart.
The Ichimoku Cloud also sits below the current price, while future cloud support appears to build near $1.10. That aligns with Dark Defender’s view that $1.10 remains the key level for the current setup.
The Community is Watching Key Price Levels
Several traders agreed that XRP continues to hold its short-term structure. One response outlined a step-by-step recovery path. The commenter identified $1.13 as the first level XRP needs to reclaim, followed by the $1.1496 and $1.151 area for additional confirmation. He then highlighted $1.165 to $1.17 as the next continuation zone before a move above $1.20 would strengthen bullish control.
Another community member said he still expects one final sharp move lower before XRP resumes its advance. At the same time, he also welcomed the possibility of an immediate rally if buyers maintain momentum.

Another commenter took a more cautious view, suggesting XRP could still trade below $1. However, he did not specify if this would be a precursor to a sharp recovery.
Upcoming Resistance Levels
Dark Defender’s latest update keeps attention on the same technical roadmap he introduced at the end of June. His latest chart suggests XRP has entered the final stages of the current 4-hour pattern.
A move above $1.13 would place the first resistance behind XRP, while a push toward $1.22 would align with the final wave target shown on the chart. Traders now appear focused on whether XRP can reclaim each resistance level in sequence as the current structure continues to develop.
