Crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) shared a weekly XRP chart with a $36 target. On the chart, XRP trades at $1.5374, and his forecast sits far above current levels. He believes XRP has finished a long correction and is now entering its strongest advance.

A Forecast That Printed

Dark Defender opened his post with a record from his earlier work. He wrote, “On 3-Aug-2024, we calculated the Wave 1 top at $3.3939.” He followed with two words: “It printed.” The chart labels that advance Wave 1. This move occurred between November 2024 and January 2025, when XRP surged more than 500%.

The price scale also marks a later high of $3.6606. XRP hit this level in July, marking its new all-time high.

Wave 2 Completes Five Sub-Waves

The chart labels the decline after Wave 1 as Wave 2. Dark Defender marks five orange sub-waves inside it, numbered (1) through (5). A yellow trendline slopes down from the early 2025 peak. XRP fell more than 70% from the $3.6606 high to a low near $1 at wave (5).

The price then climbed above a second, shorter trendline. A green circle highlights that breakout beside the shaded cloud band. The band’s upper edge sits near $2.10 and stands as the next area of resistance on the chart.

Volume Follows the Earlier Pattern

Dark Defender wrote, “Volume is building the same way it did before Wave 1.” The chart supports his view with two green circles on the volume panel. The first circle covers the quiet weeks in late 2024. Volume then jumped to levels near 800 million.

The second circle covers the latest weeks of September 2026. Green bars appear inside it. The newest bar reads 9.81 million. Dark Defender sees the same early build in both circles, and he expects the earlier outcome to repeat.

Price Targets for XRP

Two Fibonacci extension levels sit above the price. The 361.80% level lands at $18.2275. The 423.60% level lands at $36.7676. A green arrow runs from the wave (5) to the upper level. Dark Defender labels this projected advance Wave 3.

He wrote, “Wave 3 is next, targeting $36.” His $36 target would mean a gain of more than 2,200%. Dark Defender closed his post with a message to XRP holders. He wrote, “The bell for XRP rings at Nasdaq soon.” This shows his confidence in the asset, as he expects a historic rally soon.
