Expert Identifies Decisive Level XRP Needs to Breach to Signal the Start of Its Uptrend

Renowned crypto analyst Dark Defender has pinpointed a crucial price level for XRP that could signal the onset of a significant upward trend. 

In a recent X analysis, Dark Defender leveraged the Heikin Ashi Candles and the Fisher Indicator in identifying trend shifts. These tools help traders identify the direction of trends by smoothing out price fluctuations, making it easier to spot consistent movements. 

According to the analyst, the combination of these tools on a weekly time frame clearly shows potential trend reversals for XRP. The Heikin Ashi Candles are designed to filter out market noise and present a clearer view of the trend by averaging the open, close, high, and low prices. 

A Combination of Crucial Indicators

This method allows traders to focus on the broader trend rather than short-term volatility. The Fisher Indicator, which is used to identify the momentum and direction of price changes, further supports this analysis by confirming trend shifts.

Leveraging these metrics, Dark Defender identifies the critical price zone for XRP as being between $0.6044 and $0.6649. This range is pivotal because it encompasses multiple significant technical indicators. 

As promised, I'd like to share the Heikin Ashi Candles, which can be used to identify trends by analyzing the highs and lows and opening & closing prices in a specific time frame with the Fisher Indicator combination.

So they give a smooth trend direction.

One such indicator is the Ichimoku Cloud, a tool that helps find support and resistance levels, trend direction, and momentum. The Ichimoku Cloud’s components align closely with the Fibonacci retracement levels within this price range.

Fibonacci retracement levels are based on key numbers identified by mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci and are used by traders to predict potential support and resistance levels. In this context, they reinforce the significance of the $0.6044 to $0.6649 range as a critical area for XRP to break through.

Additionally, Dark Defender notes that the Trend Resistance Line, depicted as a dark red line on the chart, forms an intersection with the Ichimoku Clouds and Fibonacci levels within this range. 

XRP Needs to Close a Week Above $0.6649

This convergence of multiple technical indicators at the same price levels demonstrates the importance of this zone. A weekly candle close above $0.6649 would be a strong bullish signal, indicating that XRP has the momentum to push higher towards the upper Fibonacci levels.

As of the latest analysis, XRP has already broken above the lower boundary of this critical range, closing the week above the $0.52 level. This development is encouraging for bullish investors, suggesting that XRP is on the cusp of taking out $0.6049 and tackling the upper resistance at $0.6649. 

According to Dark Defender, should this level be breached on a weekly closing basis, it would signal a robust uptrend, potentially propelling XRP to new highs.

Dark Defender also called attention to this movement the Elliott Wave Theory, specifically mentioning that XRP is currently in Grand Wave 3. In Elliott Wave Theory, Wave 3 is typically the most powerful and extended wave in a bullish market cycle, often characterized by significant price appreciation.

Meanwhile, as XRP trades for $0.5245, it would need to breach both the 20-day SMA ($0.5269) and the 200-day SMA ($0.5776) to push toward retesting Dark Defender’s initial point of interest at $0.6049. Breaching these two moving averages could signal enough strength from the bulls for a rally toward $0.6049.
