Crypto analyst Dark Defender's clear position on XRP and CLARITY bills
Crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) expressed clear views on XRP assets and the CLARITY Act on the X platform. He believes that the asset can achieve price breakthroughs without relying on legislation. He pointed out in the post: "XRP is not waiting for the CLARITY Act. Waves will eventually emerge: whether the bill is passed or not."
This statement is eye-catching because it is based on a broader technical analysis. Dark Defender has previously pointed out that long-term charts since 2013 show that XRP is in an active period for the Grand Wave III. He also noticed that XRP is currently repeating the "Exponential Moving Average Jumping Pattern" that appeared in 2014 and 2017, and the appearance of both patterns heralded major market gains that followed. His analysis shows that no matter what the outcome of the legislation, XRP is already at the beginning of a major market.
XRP is not waiting for the CLARITY Act.
Waves will eventually appear:
Whether the bill is passed or not.
So relax and enjoy the process.
The post sparked extensive discussion in the XRP community. Some users support Dark Defender's view. One commentator said price movements have historically been ahead of legal regulation, citing past predictions that prices will rise before regulation is introduced. Another user pointed out that XRP's growth does not depend on the U.S. market and uses BRICS countries as an important source of demand growth. Another commentator reviewed XRP's previous bull market performance, noting that the asset had risen by 280% in November 2024. He pointed out that XRP only needs to rise another 150% to hit a record high, and called on holders to prepare for the next round of markets.
However, not everyone holds the same view. Some commentators have refuted that the trend of XRP has always been closely related to the market narrative of the CLARITY Act, and that market price behavior also reflects this. He emphasized that the asset still needed stimulus from positive news to drive its rise.
Wave prediction and the real dilemma of the CLARITY Act
The core of Dark Defender's technical analysis lies in the repeatability of forms. The "EMA jump pattern" he mentioned first appeared in 2024, and XRP subsequently experienced a strong 500%. He believes that the same structure is currently being formed. In the longer-cycle chart, Fibonacci extended targets point to $18.22,$36.77,$74.39 and $333.11 respectively, of which $333 is his departure target price.
At the same time, the legislative process of the CLARITY Act itself is facing numerous difficulties. A procedural vote in the Senate is scheduled for September 15, while the House will recess on September 17 and not reconvene until mid-November. Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that if the window is missed, cryptocurrency legislation could be delayed until 2030.
Dark Defender believes that these political factors will not change the technical landscape. The structure of XRP has been launched, and he expects the asset to rise regardless of the final outcome of the CLARITY Act.
