XRP has enjoyed remarkable performance since November and has, in January 2025, entered an even stronger bull run, which sent it to new all-time highs (ATH) both in terms of market capitalization – which is, at press time, near $190 billion – and trading price.
Specifically, after struggling near $0.50 for years, XRP soared 451.65% in the last 6 months and is, on January 17, changing hands at a high $3.30.
Under the circumstances – and in the situation in which there is no shortage of bullish forecasts – Finbold consulted its very own artificial intelligence (AI) price prediction tool to gauge if the token will be as strong in the second half of the month, as it is at press time.

Finbold AI predicts XRP price for February 1, 2025
Using a combination of advanced AI models, including ChatGPT-4o and ChatGPT-4o mini, Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Grok 2 Vision, Finbold sought if the many available trading signals point toward a greater rally or a correction by February 1.
As it turned out, no model was as bearish as ChatGPT-4o mini, which estimated that XRP is headed back to the range in which it started 2025, and it would collapse, by the start of the next months, to $2.15 – a full 34.25% from the press time price.
Grok was not much more optimistic as it foresaw a 22.02% downside to $2.55.
For its part, ChatGPT-4o estimated that XRP is nearing a decisive resistance level and that it would rally only another 7.03% and trade at $3.50 on February 1.
Claude 3 Opus provided a similar forecast, though it predicted that the token can look forward to a slightly smaller 5.5% upside to $3.45 by the beginning of next month.
Its cousin, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, however, was the most bullish of the bunch as it set its sights at an unprecedented $4.12 – a full 25.99% above the press time price of $3.30.
On average, using a prompt version that takes into account various trading signals, such as the relative strength index (RSI) and the simple moving average (SMA), the AI models forecasted a 4.55% downside to $3.15.
Is AI too conservative with its XRP price target?
Considering XRP’s recent performance and the tailwinds it has been enjoying, the relatively conservative, sometimes downright bearish, predictions of the different AI models might come as a surprise.
Donald Trump, set to remove ‘elect’ from his title on January 20, has pledged to make a series of changes in the U.S. which are expected to significantly bolster the position of digital assets in the country.
Furthermore, Gary Gensler – seen by many as something of an arch-nemesis of Ripple Labs and the XRP token – confirmed he would resign on January 20 in a move that already proved positive for multiple cryptocurrencies.
Still, the cautious assessments of the AI models can, perhaps, be explained by the facts that XRP already rallied substantially, vastly increasing the odds of a correction, and that, despite many hoping the fight will be over soon, the SEC opened a new chapter in its legal battle against Ripple as recently as January 15.
