XRP is trading in a compressed range while analysts await confirmation of its next directional move. The market has shown strength in recent weeks, but hesitation remains near key technical levels. Against this backdrop, Dark Defender (@DefendDark) has returned to a structure he first outlined earlier this year. His latest post suggests that XRP stands at a decisive point, with a long-awaited bullish phase now within reach. In his words, “The missing Monthly Wave 5 is poised for a Surge.” While XRP has already rallied strongly from its prior lows, Dark Defender argues that the broader Elliott Wave structure still lacks its final impulsive leg. The missing Monthly Wave 5 is poised for a Surge. The target is expected to be $5.85 #XRP is so Close to making this decision. pic.twitter.com/fT2boIuHr5 — Dark Defender (@DefendDark) December 13, 2025 A Revisited Structure From February The chart shared with the post highlights a structure first published on February 13, 2025. It shows a completed corrective sequence labeled A, B, and C, followed by a renewed impulsive advance. This corrective phase unfolded over several months, with XRP hitting its peak of $3.65 within this pattern. Toward the end of this pattern, XRP respected Wave 4 of a longer-term Elliott Wave pattern and formed a base near the $2 region. The chart also shows XRP reclaiming key support within the Ichimoku cloud before accelerating higher. That move marks a technical shift, showing that bearish control has weakened as buyers regain momentum. The current move appears to align with the early stages of a larger Wave 5 advance. Sub-waves are already visible on the daily chart. Wave 1 and Wave 2 have played out. The analyst outlines a sharp Wave 3 expansion followed by a brief pullback in Wave 4, and another advance to complete the sequence. This would line up the sub-waves with the longer-term bullish structure.

He states, “The target is expected to be $5.85.” On the chart, this level aligns with a 261.80% Fibonacci extension. That extension projects from the prior corrective low and matches the termination zone of the projected Wave 5. Dark Defender has predicted this target multiple times , and the asset’s RSI behavior supports his thesis. Momentum remains elevated without showing a clear bearish divergence on the higher time frames. That condition often appears during strong impulsive advances rather than corrective bounces. Importantly, Dark Defender does not frame $5.85 as the end of the cycle. The February analysis he references highlighted higher extension levels. Those projections include $8.76 and an ultimate target of $18.22 . He treats these as continuation targets if Wave 5 unfolds fully on the monthly scale.
