Dark Defender (@DefendDark) has published a new update on XRP using the 3-day chart. His analysis points to a shift in momentum that he believes could define the next phase of price action.
His post focused on structure, momentum, and long-term targets rather than short-term volatility. The chart presents a completed corrective cycle, a momentum reversal on RSI, and projected Fibonacci extensions that frame his outlook.
The update arrives after months of compression. XRP spent much of late 2025 moving within a broad corrective structure. However, the current setup suggests that the asset is at the end of that extended consolidation.

The Structure on the 3-Day Chart
Dark Defender’s chart maps a completed 3-wave corrective sequence labeled A, B, and C. Wave A marked the initial decline from the prior high. Wave B formed a complex rebound, pushing XRP to its peak in July. Wave C completed the structure with a final sell-off into the $1.88 to $2 zone. That area standing near the 161.8% Fibonacci extension is marked on the chart.
XRP now holds above that level. The chart shows a reaction and stabilization rather than a continued decline. That behavior supports his view that the corrective phase has likely ended. The decline also coincided with the end of Wave 4 on a macro Elliott Wave pattern. XRP is currently entering the final wave, and the analyst suggests a move to $5.85 (Fib. 261.8%).
RSI Momentum Shift
The lower panel displays the Relative Strength Index on a 3-day timeframe, where the analyst called an RSI golden cross. The RSI signal occurs as the faster line crosses above the slower moving average near the lower range. That area historically aligns with trend reversals rather than trend exhaustion.

RSI remains below overbought territory. Momentum builds from depressed levels instead of peaking. That detail supports the idea of early-stage strength rather than late-cycle speculation. The signal also aligns with the asset’s price holding support rather than chasing highs.
Upcoming Targets and Price Path
The chart projects upside extensions based on the completed corrective structure. The ultimate target on this chart is $5.85, a target the analyst has repeated multiple times. The projected path shows a sharp advance once the price clears the current consolidation range.
The projected move does not rely on a straight-line rally. The chart suggests a base, then acceleration. That sequence matches the behavior often seen after extended corrections on higher timeframes.
