Dark Defender: Narrative Will Continue to Shift In Favor of XRP. Here’s why
As uncertainty continues to weigh on digital asset market sentiment, crypto analyst Dark Defender has reiterated a technically grounded outlook on XRP that contrasts with growing concerns about a potential bear market.
In a February analysis supported by detailed monthly chart visuals, the analyst provided a structured interpretation of XRP’s price behavior, stating that recent volatility aligns with an anticipated corrective phase rather than signaling a broader trend reversal.
The commentary emphasizes long-term structural analysis over short-term price speculation, relying on an Elliott Wave framework that has guided expectations for several months.
Tracking the Monthly Wave 4 Development
According to Dark Defender, XRP has been progressing through a Monthly Wave 4 structure since mid-February. This corrective phase was mapped well in advance, with specific price zones identified as likely reaction points.
The analyst explains that the first leg of the correction, labeled Wave A, was projected toward the $1.88 region, a level that later corresponded with XRP’s decline to approximately $1.60 in April. This move was treated as a normal retracement within a broader bullish cycle rather than a breakdown in market structure.
The second phase, Wave B, unfolded as a recovery move. Dark Defender previously identified the $3.80 area as a key upside zone, and XRP’s subsequent advance toward $3.66 in July was cited as validation of that projection.
From this perspective, the rally was not interpreted as the start of a new impulsive wave but as a corrective rebound consistent with Wave B characteristics on a higher timeframe.
Completion of Wave C and Key Price Zone
The most recent development centers on Wave C, the final leg of the Monthly Wave 4 correction. Dark Defender states that the $1.88 level was once again targeted, forming a defined accumulation zone between $2.2222 and $1.8815. XRP’s return to this area is described as the technical completion of the corrective structure.
The analyst emphasizes that this outcome was anticipated and repeatedly communicated, reinforcing the importance of maintaining a consistent analytical framework during both advances and pullbacks.
Forward Outlook Beyond the Correction
With Monthly Wave 4 considered complete, Dark Defender’s analysis shifts toward the next phase of the cycle. The attached chart highlights a projected move toward the $5.85 region, derived from Fibonacci extensions and the anticipated Wave 5 advance.
The analyst maintains that this outlook remains intact as long as the broader structure holds, reiterating confidence that current conditions do not support a sustained bear market scenario.
The overall message underscores discipline and preparation, positioning the recent decline as a technical opportunity rather than a structural failure. Dark Defender concludes by reaffirming personal conviction in XRP’s trajectory, while noting that all views expressed are based on technical interpretation and not financial advice.

Nvidia's price-to-earnings ratio has dropped below 17 times, which is only about half of its projected 2025 level. Although revenue and net profit for fiscal year 2027 are expected to grow by 90% and 99% respectively, the company's stock has risen only about 20% this year, significantly lagging behind the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Meanwhile, gross margin is expected to decline from 75% in the second quarter to below 72% in the fourth quarter. Rising memory costs and continued pressure from customers developing their own chips, as well as uncertainty over future AI capital expenditures, have become key factors for the market to reassess Nvidia's valuation.
