Ripples’ XRP is up 7.05% to $1.43 in 24 hours, outperforming Bitcoin’s 3.86% gain, with ETF demand and regulatory expectations providing the main catalysts.
U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted $14.38 million in net inflows on September 1, extending their positive streak to 11 trading sessions and bringing the cumulative total to about $1.68 billion. Bitcoin ETFs, by contrast, recorded roughly $236.5 million in outflows that day. Trading volume for the XRP price has also increased 14.71%, supporting the latest move above key moving averages.
The bigger question is whether the $1.43 price has found the same technical foundation that preceded XRP’s previous major advances. Two analysts, Dark Defender and EGRAG Crypto, are pointing to different parts of the higher-timeframe structure, but both charts present a bullish case if their key levels continue to hold.
What you'll learn 👉
The XRP Price Holds the 100-Month EMA
Dark Defender’s monthly XRP chart places the 100-month EMA at the center of the thesis. The chart marks this cyan moving average as a recurring support line that XRP has defended during previous major market cycles.
The one line #XRP defended unprecedentedly is the 100 Month exponential moving average in cyan colour.

100M EMA is always a "Parabolic Surge Line".
✅ The price is above the Ichimoku Clouds
✅ 100M EMA is well defended
✅ August Candle closed above the 50M EMA, yellow

Three areas on the chart show Ripple’s XRP returning toward this long-term average before moving into stronger advances.
The latest XRP price has again held above this moving average, with Dark Defender also pointing to the price remaining above the Ichimoku Cloud. The August monthly candle closed above the 50-month EMA, shown in yellow on the chart.
Together, these readings put XRP above two major long-duration moving averages, giving the $1.43 price a stronger technical foundation than a move based on short-term momentum alone.
Market Expert Maps Out the Next XRP Price Targets
EGRAG Crypto takes a different route, using a three-month Elliott Wave structure and Fibonacci extensions. His chart estimates that Wave 1 delivered about 225%, followed by Wave 3 producing roughly 300%–365%. Combining those moves gives approximately 589%, which EGRAG uses to estimate potential Wave 5 targets.

This is the 3-month macro timeframe, and the structure is speaking loudly.
➡️Wave 1⃣ delivered around 225%.
➡️Wave 3⃣ was expected to stretch higher, but instead #XRP reached around 300%–365%, depending on the measurement. That is… pic.twitter.com/bXCQt3g27k
His first major XRP price zone is $6.19–$8.07, followed by $11.45 as a stronger extension target. The chart then places $13+ in a wider cycle expansion area and $17+ as an upper target if momentum accelerates.
These are technical projections, not guaranteed prices, but the key point is that several Fibonacci measurements converge around the $8, $11 and $17 price regions.

What This Means for the XRP Price
The data gives the bullish thesis two separate foundations. ETF demand is providing a measurable flow catalyst, with about $170 million entering XRP funds across the latest 11-session streak. The technical case is based on XRP defending the 100-month EMA, remaining above the Ichimoku Cloud and closing August above the 50-month EMA.
The main test is whether the $1.43 price can hold above these longer-term support levels after the latest 7.05% daily advance. If it does, EGRAG’s $6.19–$8.07 price zone becomes the first major upside area on his chart. A move toward $11.45 or $17 would require far stronger demand and a sustained macro uptrend.
For now, the charts show the XRP price defending a level that has mattered across previous cycles, but the distance between $1.43 and the $6–$17 price targets means investors should treat those projections as high-risk scenarios rather than expected outcomes.
