XRP’s rapid late August rise, which ensured the token is 27.07% in the green on the monthly chart, appears likely to turn into a slower uptrend in September, based on the forecast made by the Finbold artificial intelligence (AI) agent.
Specifically, after consulting multiple technical analysis (TA) tools, including oscillators, the relative strength index (RSI), and moving averages (MA), the predictive system estimated XRP will be trading at $1.43 on September 30, 2026: 4.54% higher than the token’s press time price of $1.38.
Among the six AI models involved, Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Gemini 3.5 Flash proved the most bullish, as it set its price target at $1.49 for an 8.39% rally during the coming month.
China’s most recognizable artificial intelligence platform, DeepSeek, was on the other end of the spectrum with a bearish forecast that XRP will drop 1.46% to $1.35.
The SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) model Grok 4.5 fell roughly in the middle of the range and estimated the token would rise 4.27% to $1.43. OpenAI’s two ChatGPT versions – Luna and Terra – also proved conservative, with a 3.65% and 4.38% predicted rallies, respectively.
Finally, ChatGPT-5.6 Sol was almost as optimistic as Gemini, as it set its price target at $1.48: 8.03% above $1.38 at press time.
Could XRP soar in early September?
Meanwhile, some human cryptocurrency analysts believe that the next XRP rally might not only come faster, but also lead to significantly larger gains.
As Finbold reported on August 31, Ali Martinez, a popular trading expert on X, believes to have identified the token breaking out of a symmetrical descending triangular pattern.
Though the early morning performance briefly appeared to have negated the assessment after XRP dropped toward $1.34, the subsequent rebound to $1.38 seemingly confirmed the breakout.
Additionally, according to Martinez, the rally could take the token to a new local high of $1.70 – 23.19% above the press time price and 18.89% higher than the Finbold AI average estimate of $1.43.
Notably, even if XRP reaches the short-term high, it remains possible the cryptocurrency will find itself at $1.43 by September 30, 2026, though such a trajectory could indicate a renewed downtrend, rather than a continuation of the uptrend.
