The month has only just begun, and XRP is already in a bad spot, being down 3% on April 2 amid a wider cryptocurrency market selloff.
Digital assets collectively fell 2.85% following yesterday’s announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump that he was ‘on the cusp’ of ending the war in Iran, which raised inflation concerns and dampened expectations for interest rate cuts.
What’s more, traders are now closely watching the upcoming U.S. payrolls report, scheduled for April 3, which could influence rate expectations and potentially stabilize market sentiment if the data is favorable.
XRP price outlook
In the near term, XRP’s trajectory will likely depend on whether it can hold the $1.30 support level, viewed as both a psychological threshold and a Fibonacci swing low.
Holding above that level could lead to consolidation between $1.30 and $1.34. However, a breakdown below it may lead to further losses, with the next major support near $1.25.
To see what the more likely scenario is, Finbold used its AI-driven price prediction tool to assess XRP’s odds in the coming weeks. The model aggregated forecasts from ChatGPT, Gemini 3 Flash, and DeepSeek to generate a range of possible outcomes rather than a single, decisive call.
AI models point to further XRP downside by month-end
According to our prediction tool, further loss of momentum appears to be the more likely outcome. Specifically, the average XRP price target by the end of April came out at $1.22, implying a 7.14% downside from the current levels of $1.31.
As mentioned, however, the average forecast is the result of separate analyses by three large language models (LLMs).
While they were all bearish on the digital currency, Gemini stood out as the one with the lowest price target of just $1.12, which implies a 14.16% XRP crash by April 30.
DeepSeek and ChatGPT forecast prices of $1.29 and $1.24, respectively, which still translates into a 1.91–5.34% downside.
Still, the discrepancy between Gemini and the other two models is notable, meaning the average outcome might be skewed by Google’s exceedingly pessimistic AI assistant.
XRP price struggles
From a technical perspective, XRP is trading around a key bullish trend line at $1.31 and below both its 7-day and 30-day moving averages (MA), currently around $1.34 and $1.40.
At the same time, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at approximately 38, suggesting weak momentum, albeit without yet reaching oversold levels. Both the MACD and the 10-period momentum indicator are also flashing sell signals.
Overall, the technical outlook suggests that downward momentum is the dominant trend. Accordingly, any near-term strength should be viewed cautiously, as it may represent a temporary recovery rather than the start of a sustained uptrend.
