Ripple token XRP might be preparing for a massive price move against Bitcoin and Ether. Market analyst Dark Defender shared insights suggesting the XRP and Ethereum pair is finishing up a Wave 4 correction phase. This setup usually clears the path for a powerful Wave 5 surge that could push XRP ahead of its top competitors.

Technical traders watch these chart patterns closely because they often signal trend reversals or massive momentum shifts. If the pattern plays out as expected, capital could flow rapidly out of leading coins and into XRP. Traders are keeping a close eye on resistance levels to confirm the breakout before making their next moves.

While technical indicators look promising, the broader crypto market remains unpredictable. Traders should watch daily volume and overall market sentiment to see if the breakout gains enough fuel to sustain a lasting rally.
