Crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) has updated his long-term XRP/ETH trading pair analysis, revealing significant market developments. His initial assessment in September 2024 suggested that XRP was poised for a major shift against Ethereum.
In February 2025, his latest analysis reinforces this perspective, asserting that XRP has begun flipping ETH, indicating further upward movement.
Dark Defender’s September 2024 analysis highlighted a key technical development in the XRP/ETH market. He pointed out that XRP had been in a six-year downtrend, but a crucial breakout had occurred, signaling a potential reversal.
The chart from September showed XRP breaking above a long-term descending resistance line, a key technical indicator suggesting bullish momentum.
At the time, he confidently stated, “We have waited for this moment for six years. XRP will flip ETH.” His analysis suggested that XRP had reached a long-term support level and was set to outperform Ethereum in the coming months.
Other experts like Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong have been predicting since 2024 that XRP will flip ETH. Dark Defender’s projection showed an upward trajectory, with expectations of continued growth against the current second-largest digital asset.
Dark Defender’s February 2025 update builds on his September 2024 forecast. According to his latest assessment, XRP has now started the process of surpassing Ethereum in relative performance.
He states, “XRP started flipping Ether; take it or leave it. Massive success is on its way.” His latest chart presents a stronger bullish outlook, illustrating a continued rally with higher targets.
The chart displays a clear five-wave Elliott Wave structure, with XRP entering an extended third wave, which is often associated with the strongest price movement in a trend.
The first target in the chart is the Fibonacci 361.8% level, which would put XRP at $5.85. Dark Defender has previously predicted this target, and it is the first step on XRP’s path to surpassing Ethereum. Following that, Dark Defender expects the digital asset to reach as high as $18.22.
XRP is currently trading at $2.69, and a recent analysis shows that if it can hit approximately $6.7, it would surpass ETH’s market cap. With Ethereum constantly failing to build bullish momentum, XRP could surpass it very soon and become the second-largest cryptocurrency in the market.
