XRP's Monster Cup & Handle Forms Five-Digit Price Projection

XRP has completed what Dark Defender calls the largest 'Cup & Handle' pattern ever in the cryptocurrency market. This formation is now at the center of a price projection that extends into five-digit territory.

The cup structure was formed around 2017, with XRP bottoming between 2019 and 2023 before recovering towards prior resistance levels when it surged 500% in late 2025 and early 2026. A handle formation appears in the most recent price action, highlighted on the chart in a pink box near the $1.55 to $3.66 range.

Dark Defender labels this as the completion point of the broader structure. He previously gave XRP four- to five-digit targets in 2021, calculated based on tokenized asset base, circulating supply velocity, XRP share of collateral, collateral ratio, Fibonacci time zones, and patterns.
