XRP has closed a monthly candle above a resistance trend that had constrained its price for about a year. Crypto analyst Dark Defender now points to the monthly chart and says XRP traders should avoid letting shorter time frames distract them from the larger structure.
“Do not get distracted by the smaller time frames,” Dark Defender tweeted. “XRP closed the monthly candle by breaking the year-long resistance trend.”
The analyst then raised a key question about the move: “Question: Was it a bearish or bullish breakout?” He followed the question with his own response: “Dark: Rotate, positive rate, gear up.”
Dark Defender attached a monthly XRP/USD chart that shows the cryptocurrency breaking above a descending resistance line. The chart also shows XRP testing the area around the broken trendline after the breakout.

Dark Defender’s chart places several Fibonacci extension levels above XRP’s current price. He marks the 161.80% extension at $1.8815 and the 200% extension at $2.9032.
The chart also identifies a much higher 361.80% extension at $18.2275. These levels give traders specific areas to watch if XRP continues its upward movement.
Dark Defender also tracks XRP’s Relative Strength Index on the monthly chart. The RSI sits near 49.30, while the indicator’s moving average sits near 49.72. The RSI has recovered from lower levels, but it remains below the 50 mark.
The chart shows XRP previously climbing toward the $3.60 area before entering a prolonged decline. XRP then established a lower point near the $1 region before the recent recovery pushed the price back above the descending resistance trend.
Dark Defender uses the latest structure to frame the monthly breakout as an important development for XRP.
The attached chart specifically labels the latest move as a resistance break and backtest. XRP first moved above the descending trendline before heading to the same area.
The recent candles then pushed higher from that region. Dark Defender circles the latest price action near the $1.50 area and connects it to the monthly RSI with a green line.
His analysis therefore focuses on the relationship between the price breakout and the monthly momentum indicator. Rather than concentrating on individual short-term candles, Dark Defender directs traders toward the broader monthly structure.

The post also received comments about XRP’s long-term price performance.
GNZ described XRP as the most frustrating cryptocurrency among the assets he follows. He wrote, “It should have reached $10 years ago and by now be well on its way to $100. Instead, we are here hoping for $2.”
Xeowolf also referenced XRP’s extended higher-time-frame structure. He wrote, “XRP’s higher time frame has been going for 5+ years. And damn near 9 years for new all time high with price discovery.”
Dark Defender’s analysis focuses on the monthly chart, where XRP has broken and retested a year-long resistance trend; the analyst watches $1.8815 and $2.9032 as key Fibonacci levels.
