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<p>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<p>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<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-crash-far-from-over\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-rally-on-the-radar-violent-price-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is running out of space<\/a> to continue consolidating.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst highlighted support between $1.36 and $1.31. That range is important because XRP<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-price-rebound-faces-trouble-1-40\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 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<p>A clean hold above this zone would keep the bullish wave count alive, while a loss of the area <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/xrp-key-1-50-rejection-is-a-drop-to-1-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">would discredit the possibility<\/a> that the current structure is still preparing for a Wave 5 move.<\/p>\n<h2>Fibonacci Price Levels To $8<\/h2>\n<p>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<p>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>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 The setup, which was shared by crypto analyst Dark Defender, places XRP near the end of a narrowing resistance and support apex, where the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":169384,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-169383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-discovery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169383"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=169383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/169384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=169383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=169383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=169383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
