A familiar structure has returned to XRP’s long-term chart, and the setup carries a measured projection that aligns with a prior explosive phase.

Crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) points to a repeating formation on the 3-month chart, in which two large cup structures define XRP’s historical and current trajectory. The first move delivered a 1,008% increase. The second is now in progress with the same projected expansion.

Cup Formation Signals Continuation

The chart outlines two distinct rounded bases labeled Cup I and Cup II. These cups differ from the traditional cup & handle pattern. Cup I formed between 2014 and 2017. XRP compressed, rounded out, and then broke upward with force. That move produced a rally from low levels to a peak above $3, marking a gain of 1,008%.

Cup II follows a similar structure. XRP spent years forming a second rounded base from 2018 through 2024. Price action shows consistently higher lows across this period.

The curve mirrors the earlier formation in both shape and duration. There was a notable shift in late 2024 when XRP retested the bottom and surged 500%. It has since formed a higher base, and the breakout phase now appears active.

Dark Defender places a measured move above the current structure. The projection targets $18.76, which reflects another +1,008% expansion from the breakout zone. The chart positions this move as a continuation of the same structural behavior seen in the previous cycle.

Price Structure Holds Key Levels

XRP currently trades above a rising support curve that defines the lower boundary of Cup II. This level has held across multiple tests. Green markers on the chart highlight consistent support reactions. Each bounce reinforces the structure and maintains upward pressure.

Resistance near $3.65, XRP’s all-time high, remains a key level. The asset approached this region during the 2025 bull run. A confirmed break above this zone would align with the measured projection path. The chart shows consolidation just below resistance, which suggests preparation for continuation rather than exhaustion.

Analyst Signals Directional Bias

Dark Defender connects the technical structure with directional guidance. He states, “History doesn’t repeat. She rhymes.” He pairs that with the measured gains from both formations. Cup I already delivered +1,008%. Cup II carries the same projection.

He also notes, “The Phoenix flies North.” This aligns with the upward trajectory marked on the chart. A labeled “NORTH” zone sits above current price levels, reinforcing the directional bias toward higher levels.
