XRP could be approaching a significant technical turning point, according to crypto analyst Dark Defender. His latest analysis points to a potential sharp upward move after an extended correction, with the attached chart identifying a key zone that could determine the next phase of XRP’s price action.
Dark Defender’s outlook focuses on the completion of the corrective structure and the possibility that XRP could resume its broader upward trend. While the analyst does not provide a specific short-term price target in his latest post, his chart maps several important levels that could come into focus if the projected move develops.
Dark Defender Points to a Potential Parabolic Move
In his tweet, Dark Defender stated, “Expectation of a parabolic move in the Green Box. Realisation in the big picture. XRP is expected to continue.”
The analyst accompanied the statement with a 10-day XRP/USD chart. The setup shows XRP moving through what Dark Defender identifies as a corrective structure, with several waves marked across the decline. The chart suggests that this correction could be nearing completion, potentially opening the way for a stronger upward move.
The highlighted green area appears to represent the zone where Dark Defender expects the next significant price reaction. His broader chart then projects a substantial continuation higher if XRP follows the technical structure he has outlined.

Dark Defender has previously described XRP’s correction as a textbook ABC structure, with the final portion of the decline divided into smaller waves. His latest chart continues that interpretation and places the current setup near the lower end of the projected corrective range.
Chart Shows $1.88, $2.90 and $5.85 Levels
The attached chart contains several Fibonacci levels that define Dark Defender’s broader upside projection. The 161.80% extension sits at approximately $1.88, while the 200% extension is marked near $2.90.
The chart also identifies the 261.80% Fibonacci extension around $5.86. This is the most prominent upside level shown in the current setup and would require XRP to move substantially beyond its present range.
Dark Defender’s projected path therefore involves several stages rather than an immediate move to the highest target. A sustained recovery would first need to establish strength around the lower resistance areas before potentially advancing toward the higher Fibonacci extensions.
XRP Community Reacts to the Setup
The analyst’s post also attracted comments from traders assessing what the projected move could mean for XRP.
Jack J responded, “I am pulling out the calculator! I think that move will retire me!” His comment reflects the scale of the potential upside represented on Dark Defender’s chart.

Gabriel Abi focused more closely on the technical confirmation required before such a move could develop. He wrote, “Green box on weekly is where it gets spicy. That zone rejected price twice before. Need a close above 2.80 to confirm the move.”
That observation places particular importance on the area around $2.80. For Dark Defender’s broader bullish projection to gain stronger confirmation, XRP would need to overcome significant resistance and establish sustained trading above key levels.
For now, Dark Defender’s message remains a technical expectation rather than a confirmed outcome.
