Dark Defender to XRP Holders: Nothing Changed. Stay Strong. Here’s why
Crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) has published a new chart for XRP. According to the analyst, the asset remains locked inside a tightening structure that could soon produce a major move. In a recent post, he wrote, “Nothing changed. #XRP continues to coil inside the apex. The Equation is expected to change in a week.” His chart shows XRP trading inside converging trendlines on the weekly chart. The setup points to compression near the end of a symmetrical triangle formation . Traders often watch these structures closely because volatility usually expands once the price reaches the apex. XRP Holds Key Support While Resistance Tightens Dark Defender’s chart places XRP near $1.4, trading between ascending support and descending resistance. The blue rising trendline has held since XRP rebounded from the October flash crash . This rising support also prevented a further decline when XRP crashed with the broader market in early February. At the same time, the orange descending trendline, which formed after XRP’s peak in July 2025, continues to cap upside momentum. That squeeze has narrowed significantly over the past several weeks. XRP now sits close to the point where both trendlines intersect. According to the analyst, the “Equation” could change within a week, suggesting the current structure may soon be resolved. The chart also includes Fibonacci extension targets, placing the next upside levels at $1.88 and $3.56. Those correspond with the 161.8% and 361.8% Fibonacci extensions marked on the chart. This would place XRP just below its all-time high of $3.65 . RSI Shows Momentum Recovery Dark Defender’s setup also tracks the RSI on the weekly chart. The RSI currently sits near 38 after spending months below the midpoint level. The indicator has started to curl upward while staying above recent lows. That movement may support the idea that bearish momentum has weakened during consolidation. The chart also labels an Elliott Wave structure guiding XRP’s trajectory. The digital asset just completed Wave 4 with the current decline, and the chart suggests that Wave 5, the final bullish wave, is about to begin.

XRP has spent months compressing between support and resistance, while volatility has gradually declined. Its price now approaches the stage where continuation in the current range becomes difficult. A breakout above the descending resistance line could open the path toward the $1.88 Fibonacci level first. If momentum accelerates, the chart’s higher extension near $3.56 would become the next major level before XRP targets higher levels .

Bitcoin LTH Supply Climbs Back To August 2025 Levels As 316K BTC Move Into Strong Hands
Bitcoin’s latest on-chain picture is beginning to look less like panic and more like patience. Data from CryptoQuant, highlighted by crypto analyst Darkfost, shows that long-term holder supply has climbed back to 15.26 million BTC, returning to a level last seen in August 2025. The move comes at a sensitive point for Bitcoin, with the price still trying to build strength around $80,000 while traders are currently split between another breakdown and a recovery. Related Reading: XRP Records Biggest Spike In Network Usage In 2 Months Long-Term Holders Add 316,000 BTC In 30 Days On-chain data tracked by CryptoQuant shows that Bitcoin’s long-term holder (LTH) supply has recovered to 15.26 million BTC, levels last seen in August 2025. However, the most important detail in the CryptoQuant chart is not only that long-term holder supply is rising but also the speed of the increase in the past month. LTH supply has grown by roughly 316,000 BTC over the past 30 days. That means more coins are aging into long-term holder status, which is a category used to identify investors who have held their Bitcoin for at least about six months and are less likely to react to short-term volatility. As shown in the chart image below, the green bars representing the 30-day change in LTH supply have increased into positive territory in recent weeks, which is a distinct reversal from the red distribution phase that dominated late 2025. At the end of November, the same 30-day metric showed a negative change of about 650,000 BTC, meaning a large amount of supply had moved out of long-term holder wallets during that period. That earlier phase coincided with a more vulnerable market structure as Bitcoin rolled over from its October 2025 all-time high and began a deeper correction. Bitcoin LTH Supply Change Darkfost also relayed this change to the earlier movement of 800,000 BTC from Coinbase. His point is that May 23 could become an important date for on-chain discussions, as those coins will officially cross the six-month threshold. Once that happens, then investors could see more commentary around how much of that supply is being reclassified into the hands of long-term holders. Bitcoin Showing Strength The long-term holder data also fits into a separate outlook from analyst Michaël van de Poppe, who noted that the market may be too focused on new lows. According to the analyst, Bitcoin’s 25% rebound from its recent lows, despite Middle East war concerns and a rise in yields, is a sign of resilience. In his argument, losing the 21-day moving average does not automatically mean Bitcoin must collapse into new lows, especially since the price is still holding above $76,000. Van de Poppe also compared Bitcoin against gold, saying the BTC/gold RSI has fallen to one of its lowest readings ever. However, previous low readings in the BTC/gold RSI did not happen during the start of a bear market but came during the beginning of stronger Bitcoin phases. Bitcoin Price Chart.

A move to $70,000 could still happen as a support test, but the difference is that he does not see new lows as the most likely outcome. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
