XRP Crypto Analysts: XRP does not need to rely on the CLARITY Act to see a sharp rise.
Crypto analyst "Dark Defender" pointed out that XRP does not need to have the CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Clarity Act) to experience significant price fluctuations. In a recent post, he emphasized that regardless of the legislative progress, the asset's Technological Structure has pointed to a potential rally.
The potential of XRP is decoupled from U.S. legislation
"Dark Defender" is known in the XRP community for its technical analysis. He points out that XRP's price behavior does not depend on the final outcome of the CLARITY Act. He said the market was on the eve of a new wave pattern, citing historical technical trends in asset price charts that had heralded significant price increases in the past.
He noted that XRP is currently recreating the "exponential moving average (EMA) jump pattern" observed in 2014 and 2017. In both cases, similar patterns marked the beginning of a strong surge in XRP prices.
Based on these past events, Dark Defender believes that XRP may be on the verge of a major upward trend regardless of whether the CLARITY Act is passed. His long-term analysis goes back to 2013, further confirming this view.
XRP will not wait for the CLARITY Act. Whether it passes or not, the wave shape will appear.
Noun explanation: The CLARITY Act is proposed U.S. legislation designed to provide a legal framework for digital assets, particularly with regard to their classification and regulatory treatment.
Community response to analyst predictions
The "Dark Defender" remarks quickly sparked widespread discussion among XRP supporters and critics. Some community members agreed and recalled past cases where prices had risen before regulations were clear. Others emphasized the global nature of XRP adoption, pointing out that growth is not entirely dependent on U.S. policies, and highlighted the contribution of markets such as BRICS countries as sources of demand.
Some users cited the case of XRP rising by 280% in November 2024, claiming that another 150% increase would set a new historical high for the asset. However, there are also objections, arguing that the historical performance of XRP has always followed the U.S. regulatory narrative and that bullish momentum still relies on favorable legislative news.
Technology Bit and Legislative Schedule
According to "Dark Defender", the current technical settings are similar to the EMA jump pattern recorded before the previous 500% increase in XRP in 2024. His Fibonacci expansion-based price targets are $18.22,$36.77,$74.39 and $333.11, of which $333 is positioned as a long-term exit target.
In terms of legislation, the CLARITY Act faces a tight timetable. The Senate plans to hold a procedural vote on September 15. The House will leave Washington on September 17 and not return until mid-November. Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that if action is not taken within this short window, digital asset regulation could be delayed until at least 2030.
Despite legislative uncertainty, Dark Defender maintains that the technical wave form of XRP has unfolded and expects major changes to the asset to occur independently of legal fate.
Summary
"Dark Defender" analysis shows that the price structure of XRP is ready for a breakthrough that will be driven by technological momentum rather than political development.
