<p><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/xrp-price-surge-1100-expert/">Crypto analyst Dark Defender</a> recently analyzed the XRP price, suggesting that a <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/parabolic-breakout-xrp-price/">massive surge</a> could be on the horizon for the crypto token. Interestingly, the analyst predicts that XRP could <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/xrp/crypto-analyst-xrp-price-18/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">rise to as high as $18</a> when this parabolic move occurs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 id="how-xrp-price-will-rise-to-18">How XRP Price Will Rise To $18</h2> 
<p>Dark Defender stated in an X (formerly Twitter) <a href="https://x.com/DefendDark/status/1755539673328255075?s=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">post</a> that the XRP price could extend toward $18.22 when Wave 3 occurs. He believes that Wave 3 will initially cause XRP’s price to rise to between $1.88 and $5.85 and could then further move to the $18 price level thanks to the <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-161800-target-fibonacci-elliott-wave-theory/">Fibonacci levels</a>, “which can extend exponentially.”</p> 
<p>He also mentioned that the regular <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/bullish-or-bearish-bitcoin-price-elliott-wave/">ABC corrective wave</a> had been completed while noting that the only thing that could “spoil the current balance is the expanded Wave C possibility.” The accompanying chart showed that he was referring to how XRP <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/xrp/crypto-analyst-xrp-crash-0-34/#:~:text=XRP%20Could%20Drop%20To%20As%20Low%20As%20%240.34&amp;text=From%20the%20accompanying%20chart%20that,to%20since%20around%20April%202023." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">could drop again to $0.3917</a>. A decline to that level could hinder the Wave 3 targets from being actualized.</p>

<p>However, Dark Defender claimed that XRP staying above $0.5286 makes this less of a possibility. Meanwhile, the crypto analyst revealed that he will “discuss the Wave 4 possible retrace and Wave 5 completion” when the market hits those Wave 3 targets. He had <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/xrp-price-prediction-1137-rise/">earlier outlined</a> how Wave 1 and 2 ended at the $0.9327 and $0.4367 price levels, respectively.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Wave 1 occurred in July 2023 when <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-judge-deems-xrp-sale-non-investment-contract/">Judge Analisa Torres</a> ruled that XRP wasn’t a security in itself, with the crypto token rising to $0.9 after that. Wave 2, on the other hand, closely followed Wave 1 as XRP lost those gains soon after, dropping to as low as $0.39 in the process.</p>

<p><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/39000-xrp-price-to-hit-220/">Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto</a> “confidently” declared in his most recent <a href="https://x.com/egragcrypto/status/1755854683720085907?s=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">X post</a>&nbsp; that “April to July is the golden window for XRP Army to make life-changing gains.” While making this statement, he alluded to his <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/xrp/xrp-price-800-5-90-days/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CXRP%20To%20%245%20In%2090,of%20a%20prolonged%20bull%20market.%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">previous prediction</a> that XRP would hit $5 in 90 days, suggesting that these were the life-changing gains that they were about to experience.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Moreover, based on his 90-day timeline, XRP was set to hit this <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/parabolic-breakout-xrp-price/">price level sometime in April</a>, thereby correlating with his recent statement. Egrag, however, warned that “even the <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/122000-surge-shiba-inu-price/">best chart analysts</a> can’t predict where XRP is headed.” As such, he urged XRP investors to remember to sell in portions, implying that they should take profits whenever the opportunity arises.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $0.51, up over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">data</a> from CoinMarketCap.&nbsp;</p>
