The analyst who made amazing XRP price predictions is back again

XRP prices rebound strongly, analysts reiterate bullish views and set new targets

XRP prices recovered strongly today, rising by about 8% and regaining their footing at US$1.42, in sync with the broader cryptocurrency market rebound. Bitcoin rebounded above $81,000, and sentiment among major altcoins improved, giving XRP some breathing space after its recent decline. However, senior XRP community analyst "Dark Defender" is concerned about far more than the current price trend.

Yesterday, we reported on his near-unbelievable prediction: XRP could eventually reach $333. Now, the analyst is back in sight with a new chart and a closer target: $7 as the first main target.

His latest argument is that the technical structure of XRP remains bullish regardless of whether Congress advances the CLARITY Act.

Dark Defender's previous XRP price forecasts were unbelievable

DarK Defender's previous three-month cycle chart based on XRP reiterated an extraordinary long-term forecast.

"No matter which perspective you look at it, the goal of #XRP remains the same. Big Wave 3 is built on a three-month time frame and points to $333." He wrote.

His analysis uses Elliott Wave theory to interpret the historical price movements of XRP within the broad rising channel that has existed since the early trading years of cryptocurrencies.

分析师将XRP向先前高点（约3.66美元）的推进标记为第1浪。随后，他将跌至1.30美元附近的下跌视为第2浪回调，这可能预示着一场规模更大的第3浪反弹即将展开。

图表中的斐波那契扩展位包括1.88美元、2.90美元、18.23美元、36.77美元、74.40美元和333.12美元。

DarK Defender所描绘的路径最终达到约333美元，随后是向18.23美元的假设性回调，以及最终突破1,000美元的上涨。这些数字极具雄心壮志。

若价格为333美元，XRP的价值将是其当前1.42美元价格的约234倍。以流通量约600亿枚XRP作为假设供应量，这意味着流通市值将接近20万亿美元。这种结果需要XRP估值出现极其巨大的扩张。斐波那契扩展和艾略特波浪计数无法证明必要的需求将会实现。

因此，333美元的预测应被视为一种高度投机的长期情景，而非近期的实际价格目标。

DarK Defender携新突破图表回归，目标指向7美元

在他最新的X帖子中，DarK Defender写道：

“Dark告诉过你，无论是否有《Clarity法案》，XRP的突破形态都是既定的。通往7美元之路，首要目标。”

这次，他的分析聚焦于日线图，而非三个月周期图。

Analysts also marked three nearby Fibonacci levels:

• US$1.2939 - 50% level
• US$1.3798 - 61.8% level
• US$1.4445 - 70.2% level

As XRP returns above US$1.42, The cryptocurrency has regained the $1.3798 level and is approaching the next resistance level near $1.4445. This makes the $1.44 - 1.45 area particularly important. Effectively breaking through the area will strengthen the view that XRP has emerged from recent revisions.

However, the chart also shows previous highs around $1.6992. XRP must overcome this area before a larger bullish continuation becomes more convincing.

DarK Defender projected Elliot Wave Path subsequently identified several ambitious upward goals.

The first major extension is at $1.8815, followed by $2.9032 and $4.1043. His forecast for a third wave reached approximately $7.0786. The chart then outlines a fourth wave correction towards $4.10 and a final fifth wave rise towards $10.1101.

These are forecast levels, not price fluctuations that have occurred. Importantly, analysts '$7 target does not replace yesterday's $333 forecast. It represents a closer target in his broader bullish reading.

Is the $7 XRP price forecast really realistic?

The rise to US$7 is much milder than US$333, but a significant rebound is still needed. From approximately $1.42, XRP would need to rise nearly 400% to reach $7.08. This is a major advancement, especially given the cryptocurrency's recent weak performance.

The daily chart provides a series of key points that help assess whether a bullish scenario is developing. XRP must first establish a position above $1.44 - 1.45 and then overcome previous highs near $1.70. After that,$1.88 and $2.90 will become important reference points, followed by the more ambitious $4.10 and $7.08 forecasts.

If a breakthrough is not maintained, a different situation will appear. The $1.38 region is a level that needs to be monitored immediately, followed by support around $1.29. Continued declines below these areas will weaken DarK Defender's explanation that the correction phase is over.
