XRP is demonstrating key technical strength against Bitcoin. The recent weekly chart from crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) highlights multiple signals pointing to potential upside. Institutions appear prepared, while technical indicators suggest momentum is aligning for a significant move.

Elliott Waves Intact

The chart shows Elliott Wave patterns remain intact. The digital asset has completed the first four waves of this pattern and is on the verge of the final push. The asset began forming this pattern in May 2024. Wave 3, which is always the largest, pushed XRP up by 500% in late 2024. The asset then went into an extended consolidation, forming Wave 4.

The analyst also highlights a smaller-scale multi-wave pattern. This pattern formed during XRP’s extended consolidation in 2025. The first wave was a decline from January highs, but the second wave sent the asset to a new peak in July.

Wave C was another prolonged decline, but Wave D on this pattern coincides with Wave 5 on the larger Elliott Wave sequence. This positioning suggests the asset could surge rapidly once the next wave begins.

RSI Signals and Ichimoku Cloud Support

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms readiness. Both the RSI line and the moving average converge near 44, suggesting momentum is set to increase. Dark Defender highlights this point directly, labeling it “Incoming!” on the chart. Historically, this level has marked the end of consolidation periods, making it a key technical confirmation for institutional participation.

XRP’s weekly price action has cleared the Ichimoku cloud, signaling strength. The cloud shows support between 0.00002078 BTC and 0.00002487 BTC, acting as a floor for price consolidation. The analyst expects XRP to bounce from here and target new highs.

Institutional Activity and Outlook for XRP

The chart and accompanying commentary suggest that institutions are entering the market. Dark Defender states, “Institutions are ready for XRP.”

Combined with RSI and Ichimoku signals, this indicates that larger market participants may be preparing significant allocations. The alignment of technical indicators and market structure suggests potential inflows of substantial capital.

The technical setup points to an upcoming breakout. Multiple bullish patterns have converged to suggest higher prices. The current support levels provide stability, while Wave 5 projections indicate strong upside potential. XRP’s structure is solid, and it could experience a rapid surge sooner than many expect.
