XRP is trading in one of its most important technical zones of the year, with a new two-week chart analysis arguing that the larger Elliott Wave structure has not broken down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The setup, which was shared by crypto analyst Dark Defender, places XRP near the end of a <\/a>narrowing resistance and support apex, where the next major move could decide whether the cryptocurrency will still be trapped below short-term resistance or beg a stronger upward rally to defined resistance levels.<\/p>\n

XRP\u2019s Elliott Wave Count Still Points To A Larger Bullish Structure<\/h2>\n

Dark Defender\u2019s analysis is built around <\/a>the view that XRP\u2019s primary Elliott Wave structure is still intact on the two-week candlestick timeframe chart. The chart shows XRP moving through a larger five-wave sequence, with the current price action around the end of Wave 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Elliott Wave theory, Wave 4 is the second corrective phase in a five-wave impulse that comes before the final Wave 5 expansion, provided the entire impulse structure is not invalidated by a breakdown.<\/p>\n

As shown in the chart below, XRP is being squeezed between a descending orange resistance line and a rising blue support line. The XRP price touched the blue support line<\/a> in March and has created a few bullish 2-week candlesticks since then. The current candlestick touched the descending orange resistance line again, and this shows that XRP is running out of space<\/a> to continue consolidating.<\/p>\n

\"XRP\"<\/p>\n

The analyst highlighted support between $1.36 and $1.31. That range is important because XRP is already trading around $1.36,<\/a> meaning the price action is testing the lower part of the setup in real time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A clean hold above this zone would keep the bullish wave count alive, while a loss of the area would discredit the possibility<\/a> that the current structure is still preparing for a Wave 5 move.<\/p>\n

Fibonacci Price Levels To $8<\/h2>\n

The most important short-term battle is around the orange resistance line. Dark Defender said XRP will break that orange resistance and deliver a strong, strong run through the end of May. Since the rejection at $3.65 in July 2025, XRP has formed lower highs under that descending trendline, which is now around $1.47.<\/p>\n

The projected path on the chart shows XRP breaking above $1.47 and then extending into the higher Fibonacci extensions. The first notable extension is a 161.80% extension at $1.8818. The 361.80% extension, a Fibonacci level associated with extended Wave 3 and Wave 5 completions in strong impulsive structures, maps to $3.5632. It is the 644.40% extension, however, that anchors the full bullish prediction of $8.7822, which is labeled as the Wave 5 target.<\/p>\n
