Ripple (XRP) is no stranger to success. The token is currently sitting in the center of a rising ETF development, with nearly 18 ETFs filed with the US SEC. Once approved, these ETFs can help onboard a new stream of investors, helping the token soar high above the predicted price timelines. At the same time, Ripple has finally won its case against the US SEC, a development that has helped XRP to claim a bullish price momentum already.

In the middle of this, a notable crypto analyst, Dark Defender, has come up with a new price prediction for the token. Per the expert, the token is all set to embrace the bullish price momentum next quarter. The analyst explained how XRP’s price chart is showing a buildable momentum with the token’s 3rd wave targeting a $5 price value. If successful, the token can easily hit the aforementioned price mark in the upcoming months and eventually target $8 in the next phase or process.

“3 Monthly Time Frame Update: The January-February-March candle will be closed by the end of this month. When you zoom out, you can see a clear bullish momentum for #XRP. There are ups & downs in smaller time frames, but the higher frames supersede smaller ones. 3rd Wave is targeting $5.85 to $8.076. 5th Wave is expected to finish the move between $18.22 and $23.20. (Not Financial Advice) Well, time will tell! Have a nice day!”
