Dark Defender Presents Post Lawsuit XRP Price Rally Called New Order

Crypto analyst Dark Defender has revisited XRP’s historical price movements, suggesting that the digital asset may be entering a new phase of long-term growth.
In a brief tweet, the analyst compared three different periods in XRP’s market history, linking each one to a major shift in the asset’s regulatory and market environment.
The post condensed XRP’s recent history into three simple price ranges. Dark Defender wrote: “$0.17 to $1.96 – lawsuit was ongoing. $0.39 to $3.66 – lawsuit ended. $1 to much, much higher – new order.”
Although brief, the comparison outlines the analyst’s belief that each major cycle has established a higher price base while reflecting changes in XRP’s regulatory standing.
Legal Milestones Form the Basis of the Outlook
The first stage referenced XRP’s rise from approximately $0.17 to $1.96 during the period when Ripple remained engaged in its legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite the uncertainty surrounding the case, XRP still recorded a substantial recovery, which Dark Defender used to highlight the asset’s resilience.
The second phase focused on XRP’s rally from around $0.39 to $3.66 following the conclusion of the lawsuit. According to the analyst’s framework, regulatory clarity removed a significant obstacle that had weighed on investor sentiment for years. The comparison suggests that the market responded positively once legal uncertainty diminished.
Dark Defender then turned attention to what he described as a “new order,” beginning with XRP around the $1 level and extending “much, much higher.” While the analyst did not specify a price target, the phrase indicates that XRP could establish a new long-term valuation range beyond previous market cycles.
Community Responds With Bullish Expectations
The post also prompted optimistic reactions from members of the XRP community. One commenter, Eloise, suggested that XRP could eventually reach $10 if the magnitude of previous market recoveries repeats itself.
While neither Dark Defender nor the commenter presented a detailed valuation model, the exchange reflects a view held by XRP supporters that regulatory clarity could continue attracting greater institutional participation over time.
Dark Defender’s latest post ultimately frames XRP’s history as a sequence of higher lows and stronger recoveries. By comparing price performance before, during, and after the SEC lawsuit, the analyst believes that the asset has entered a fundamentally different stage.
