XRP Price Prediction: Dark Defender Predicts a Massive Rally to $280

The cryptocurrency market is buzzing with excitement as top analysts predict a massive XRP price rally, with some suggesting the digital asset could reach an astonishing $280.

Top cryptocurrency analyst Dark Defender has made a surprising prediction that XRP price could hit an astonishing $280 by 2026 or 2027. This prediction is based on an interesting analysis of historical trends and a potential replication of XRP’s 2017 bull run.

In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, Dark Defender shared a chart that suggests XRP is on the verge of another parabolic rally, possibly beginning later this year.

If history repeats itself, then XRP price could multiply massively from its current levels, potentially pushing the digital asset to unprecedented heights.

Another crypto expert, Egrag Crypto, also predicts a huge price rally for XRP, suggesting it could reach $222 if it follows the same trajectory as its 2017 bull cycle.

These high-price targets indicate a strong belief among crypto analysts that XRP is primed for a major breakout and sustained uptrend.

However, another analyst, Egrag Crypto, predicts that XRP could hit $222 by the time it reaches the same point in its cycle as it did in 2017.

If history repeats itself, then we could be looking at some exponential gains for XRP holders in the coming months and years.

However, a fourth analyst, CasiTrades, warns that XRP is currently testing a crucial resistance zone at $2.54. According to the analyst, the asset is now trading just below a consolidation trendline, making this a critical juncture for its price trajectory.

According to CasiTrades, who is a technical analysis expert, if XRP pulls back from this zone, then it could continue falling and retest the stipending support level. However, CasiTrades remains bullish and suggests that XRP is likely in the early stages of Wave 3.

Once the asset surpasses its previous highs, she predicts a rally toward $9.50, aligning with broader market projections of a macro target between $8 and $13.

Adding to the bullish outlook, crypto analyst Ali Martinez forecasts a potential rally toward $5 in the near term. According to Martinez, XRP must avoid closing below a head-and-shoulders neckline to maintain its bullish structure.

If the asset breaks above the right shoulder instead, then it could invalidate the bearish pattern and trigger a breakout to $5.

This bullish analysis is shared by several other analysts, who have been noticing a bullish technical pattern known as the 'Coffee-Cup' in the XRP chart.

Earlier this month, Dark Defender spotted this pattern, which signals a potential rally to $44.22. According to the analyst, this pattern is characterized by a U-shaped formation on the price chart, typically indicating a bullish trend reversal after a prolonged downtrend.

The analyst further combined this analysis with Elliott Wave Theory, suggesting that the recent price action aligns with the final stages of Wave (4), which is a corrective pattern.

After completing this pattern, we can expect a strong push for the next leg of the bull market, aligning with the final stages of Wave (5).

If XRP follows this predicted path, then investors could witness significant short-term gains before the long-anticipated rally toward $280 begins.
