Hereโ€™s the **latest verified update on the analyst who correctly predicted XRPโ€™s plunge to about $1.88 and what his next price target is:

๐Ÿ“Œ Whoโ€™s the Analyst?

The market expert is a pseudonymous analyst called Dark Defender.

He gained attention for correctly anticipating XRPโ€™s corrective move down toward ~$1.88.

๐Ÿ“ˆ His New Price Target

Dark Defender now believes the correction phase (Wave 4) has completed. He says XRP is poised to enter Wave 5 of its Elliott Wave cycle.

Based on this technical structure, his next key target is:

โœจ โ‰ˆ $5.85 โ€” which would imply a rally of roughly 200% from current levels if the pattern plays out as expected.

๐Ÿ“Š Why This Target?

The prediction is grounded in Elliott Wave and Fibonacci analysis, which Dark Defender uses to interpret market cycles.

In his wave count:

Wave A bottomed near ~$1.60,

Wave B topped around ~$3.66,

Wave C reached ~$1.88, concluding the large corrective phase.

๐Ÿง  Market Context

Analysts differ widely on where XRP might head next โ€” from modest rebounds to double-digit price scenarios by next year.

Institutional demand (like XRP ETFs) and inflows are often cited as bullish drivers by other analysts.

โš ๏ธ Important Reminder

Cryptocurrency forecasts โ€” especially those based on technical patterns like Elliott Waves โ€” are highly speculative and not guaranteed. Always consider multiple sources and do your own research before making any trading decisions.
