Sharing his insights on Twitter, the analyst referenced XRP’s 1-day chart, highlighting current worth dynamics and key technical indicators.

“Hello there. XRP within the each day chart broke the preliminary resistance & back-tested it. We had an analogous transfer on 13-Jul-23. The following Fibonacci stage stands at precisely $0.6649. If we don’t see XRP under $0.50 assist, we anticipate to hit $0.66 this week,” the analyst tweeted.

A Deep Dive Into The XRP Worth Evaluation

The chart offered by Darkish Defender reveals that on September 29, XRP skilled an upward breakout from an ascending triangle. The XRP worth improve by 8% was pushed by market individuals’ expectations of Ripple’s Correct Occasion. Though “main information” did not materialize, the worth of XRP nonetheless managed to remain above the development line.

Traditionally, ascending triangles are thought of continuation or consolidation formations, indicating a possible resumption of the earlier development following a short interval of consolidation. Given XRP’s upward trajectory since January, this breakout suggests the potential continuation of its bullish development.

As Darkish Defender highlights, the cryptocurrency underwent a back-test over the following three days, a course of the crypto asset has thus far confirmed. If the asset sustains above the $0.50 mark, it might efficiently clear the back-test as per Darkish Defender’s evaluation.

Amid this backdrop, XRP broke out of its consolidation part, triggering an virtually 100% worth rally.

Observing the current chart conduct, Darkish Defender famous that the RSI’s prolonged trendline was as soon as once more damaged upwards final Friday. Though there wasn’t a big information catalyst from Ripple to push XRP’s worth dramatically, an RSI trendline back-test occurred in current days. If that is confirmed, it might sign a surge towards the “subsequent” Fibonacci stage at $0.66 as talked about by the analyst.

Lengthy-Time period Worth Targets

That is because of the asset doubtlessly positioning itself above the weekly Ichimoku Clouds, a state of affairs he views as very bullish. Following this, he anticipates:

[…] We proceed with the second resistance at $0.91 (Yellow Resistance) will probably be damaged above $0.66, and XRP will immediately proceed with $1.33. Above $1.8815 (In Violet :)), we’ll talk about –> New All-Time Excessive, presumably at $5.85 at first!
