Analyst Says XRP Has Hit the 'Golden Pocket,' Foresees Wave 4 Relief

An analyst identifies a technical 'golden pocket' for XRP and predicts a Wave 4 relief phase amid mixed market signals including a recent price collapse, rising sentiment, and wallet growth.

Feb 5, 20266:04 AMNewsroom AI

A charting analyst flagged that XRP has reached the technical 'golden pocket' and suggested the move could mark the start of a Wave 4 relief phase for the altcoin [1].

The analyst's call arrives as XRP has weakened materially on the market: the token fell to $1.44 — its lowest level since November 2024 — and has broken the $1.50 support zone, with short-term resistance noted near $1.53–$1.59 on hourly charts [4][5].

On-chain and market metrics present mixed signals: DeFi activity and the token burn rate have declined, which analysts tie to recent downward pressure, while online sentiment for XRP has jumped even as Bitcoin and Ether turned sharply bearish [6][2].

At the same time, network adoption measures show growth: XRP added more than 500,000 wallets since Q4 2025 despite roughly a 49% price drop over that period [3].

The analyst's expectation of a Wave 4 relief phase is presented against contrasting data — technical bearishness and weakening DeFi metrics on one hand, and rising sentiment plus wallet growth on the other — underscoring mixed market indicators ahead of any confirmed recovery [1][4][6][2][3].
