The image shows four circled moments where the RSI dipped into oversold territory, followed by notable upward price movements. At the time, XRP was projected to move towards the $2.222 level from approximately $1.90, with the analysis citing a 161.8% Fibonacci extension target in that region. The pattern appeared to be forming the final stages of a corrective Elliott Wave sequence. April 11 Update: RSI Reaffirms Rebound Potential By April 11, the chart reaffirms the unfolding wave structure, with the fifth wave appearing to develop as expected. The RSI had again entered oversold territory, aligning with the analyst’s anticipation of a price rebound. The projected trajectory remained consistent with a bounce from around $1.76 to above $2.00. April 14 Setup: Support Zones and Breakout Confirmation The April 14 chart, provided on the 4-hour timeframe, highlights a successful breakout from the descending channel. The visual representation includes Ichimoku Cloud analysis and shows that all support levels remained intact as XRP approached the critical $2.222 region. The green box represents a price zone where confluences from Fibonacci retracement and wave analysis align, indicating an ideal area for wave completion or a reversal trigger. April 16 Outcome: Price Movement Aligns with Projected Wave 5 The most recent chart, dated April 16, shows the outcome of the analyst’s projection. The price moved according to the expected structure, forming what appears to be the final leg of the five-wave Elliott sequence. The descending resistance trendline has remained a significant structural component across all charts. The move from $1.90 to $2.222 occurred in line with the earlier forecast, followed by a minor rejection and a push toward the next target around $2.04, which Dark Defender suggests may mark the completion of Wave 5. Consistent Technical Analysis Across the Week Throughout the update, Dark Defender emphasizes the predictive strength of his technical framework, including Elliott Waves , RSI signals, and Fibonacci levels. He positions the evolving XRP price action as evidence of disciplined market behavior within his defined parameters. The April sequence highlighted in this tweet serves as a demonstration of consistent technical interpretation over a seven-day period. Dark Defender’s commentary and charts collectively argue that XRP’s movements have closely adhered to his outlined targets and support structures.
