Crypto analyst Dark Defender, known on Twitter as @DefendDark, has re-evaluated his February price projection for XRP, confirming that his technical analysis framework remains consistent. He shared a new chart indicating that the same structure identified earlier in the year continues to inform his outlook for the asset's potential future movements.
XRP’s Unchanged Technical Structure
Dark Defender stated, "Our structure remains unchanged since 13 Feb 2025. (Even 18 months earlier than that)." His analysis, presented on a monthly chart, suggests that XRP has completed its third wave and is now entering what he describes as the fifth wave. This phase is considered significant within Elliott Wave theory and often precedes a period of renewed upward price momentum.
Our structure remains unchanged since 13 Feb 2025. (Even 18 months earlier than that) #XRP completed the Monthly 3rd Wave.
The 5th Wave is starting. Targets: $5.85 & $10 levels short-term. Support is at $2.2222. Many will revise their charts & turn #Bullish starting today… https://t.co/SpQzMtQXn7 pic.twitter.com/Zznp0wF8oI— Dark Defender (@DefendDark) November 7, 2025
The analyst's chart indicates that XRP has broken through a long-term descending trendline, which occurred in late 2024. Following this breakout, the asset has entered what Dark Defender identifies as the beginning of Wave 5.
According to the visual structure, XRP's third wave appears to have concluded at its all-time high of $3.65. Current support is observed around the $2.22 level, which closely aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level shown on the chart.
Following a recent pullback, XRP's price is currently consolidating. The chart projects two potential upward targets for the next expected move: $5.85 as the initial target, corresponding to a 261.80% Fibonacci extension, and $10 as a subsequent target.
Potential for Double-Digit XRP Price
The price levels of $5.85 and $10 have been recurring in Dark Defender's previous analyses. The reaffirmation of these targets suggests that the long-term technical setup for XRP, according to his analysis, remains intact.
These projected price targets are derived from Fibonacci extensions calculated using the price action of previous waves, a methodology consistent with standard Elliott Wave forecasting techniques.
XRP's current position above the long-term resistance line suggests a potential transition from a consolidation phase to a more directional market movement. The analyst's insistence on the consistency of the chart structure since early 2025 implies that, in his view, recent market fluctuations have not invalidated the broader pattern.
Dark Defender anticipates that many analysts will soon update their charts and predictions, shifting towards more bullish outlooks for XRP as the year progresses. He expects market sentiment to change as traders recognize the wave structure he identified months ago, which points towards the possibility of XRP reaching double-digit figures.
