Dark Defender Says XRP’s Next Move Comes After This Phase
Crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) recently shared an XRP update after the asset’s price again moved back to the same level. That zone has now become one of the most important areas on the chart.
This level has been held multiple times, and the repeated reactions show that XRP is stabilising there as the current phase continues to develop.
The update was a direct follow-up to his 22-hour earlier analysis, in which he explained that XRP was in a corrective phase and that the next major move would follow its completion. The latest price action appears to be following that structure, which is why the repeated reaction at this level matters.
XRP is now trading at $1.46, up 2.6% from yesterday. The analyst recently asserted that XRP’s movements are not random. This bullish turn is now forming from the same support area that has been tested several times.
XRP was reacting at the same level repeatedly.
And we discussed, just 22 hours ago:"The move comes after this phase." https://t.co/9Ot7xQIyuQ

Corrective Structure May Be Near Completion
In the earlier analysis he referenced, Dark Defender explained that XRP had completed a full 5-wave corrective move. This type of structure often signals that a correction is reaching its final stage. At the same time, XRP was attempting to stabilize above key Fibonacci support levels while still trading inside an expanded triangle pattern.
This structure is important because expanded triangles typically form before a large move. The price usually reacts multiple times inside the pattern before the next trend begins. That is exactly what XRP has been doing, reacting at the same level repeatedly while holding support.
The repeated defense of this zone, followed by a move up to $1.46, suggests that XRP is still moving through the phase he described in the previous analysis. The key point from his update is timing. The structure was already identified, and now the market is reacting at the level where that phase could be completed.
Recovery Comes After Market Uncertainty
XRP struggled recently due to geopolitical tensions following a major warning from President Donald Trump to Iran. That situation created uncertainty across financial markets, and crypto assets moved lower during that period.
XRP is recovering. The reaction from this key level comes as market conditions begin to stabilize. The 2.6% price increase suggests that buyers are stepping in again at the same zone that has held multiple times.

After the market opened on Thursday, retail investors went against the trend and bought up Nvidia, with net purchases reaching $111 million in just half an hour, setting a record for the same period. Investors such as Tom Lee have publicly supported the company, with institutions optimistic about strong order backlogs extending to 2028, robust revenue growth, and opportunities created by declining valuations. Meanwhile, institutions like Bernstein and Goldman Sachs have become more cautious about Nvidia's outlook, with concerns focusing on management succession and technological leadership following Jensen Huang's departure.

From SpaceX to Anthropic, the market has new strategies for dealing with tech giants' IPOs
The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
