OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model ChatGPT has predicted that XRP could firmly establish itself above the $1.50 level by the end of October.
Specifically, the model forecasts the cryptocurrency could reach $1.68 by October 31, 2026, representing a gain of about 12% from its current price of $1.50.
The forecast comes as XRP balances strong ETF demand and whale accumulation against resistance near $1.70. Investors are also monitoring the impact of Ripple’s latest 1 billion XRP escrow release and broader crypto market sentiment.
ChatGPT assigned a 50% probability to XRP trading between $1.55 and $1.75 by October 31. A bullish scenario, carrying a 25% probability, sees the asset rising to between $1.80 and $2.05, while a bearish outcome, also assigned a 25% probability, could push XRP back to the $1.25 to $1.40 range.
Taking both bullish and bearish factors into account, ChatGPT expects XRP to spend much of October trading between $1.45 and $1.70 before attempting a breakout later in the month.
The AI model’s forecasts include a bear-case target of $1.32, a base-case target of $1.68, and a bull-case target of $1.95.
At the same time, ChatGPT identified several bullish catalysts for XRP, including nearly $1.7 billion in cumulative ETF inflows, continued whale accumulation, rising XRP Ledger activity, RLUSD growth, and increasing tokenization on the network.
The AI model also noted that Ripple’s late-October Swell conference could provide additional momentum, although historically weak October seasonality remains a risk.
XRP price analysis
By press time, XRP was trading at $1.50, up about 1% in the last 24 hours but down 2.5% over the past week.
From a technical perspective, XRP’s setup remains constructive, with the token trading above both its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $1.39 and 200-day SMA of $1.28. This suggests the broader trend remains bullish as buyers continue defending higher price levels and XRP holds above key support zones.
Meanwhile, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 55.42, placing the asset in neutral territory. The reading indicates XRP is neither overbought nor oversold, leaving room for additional upside without signaling excessive market exuberance.
