While XRP and other digital assets have been under severe pressure in recent months and have, as a rule of thumb, been on a downtrend, DeepSeek, China’s most recognizable artificial intelligence (AI), is relatively bullish about the token’s performance in March 2026.
Specifically, after substantial volatility in the cryptocurrency market, spearheaded by Bitcoin (BTC), entered a strong rally that carried XRP higher to its press time price of $1.40. This turn comes after several dramatic sessions in January and February, and even following the latest upswing, the token issued by Ripple is down more than 23% year-to-date (YTD).
Looking ahead, discerning the likely price performance for XRP is, arguably, harder in March than it has been in a long time.
Effects of the war – or, large-scale military operation, as President Donald Trump’s White House put it – with Iran continued bearing heavily on the financial markets: a situation made more unpredictable by the apparent rapid shifting between risk-on and risk-off sentiment.
Under the circumstances and in search of possible clarity, Finbold consulted the advanced AI of DeepSeek on how XRP might fare through March and where the token’s price might land at the end of the month.
DeepSeek sets XRP price target for March 31, 2026
After examining the state of the cryptocurrency market at press time on March 4 and taking a particular note of institutional analysis, such as Standard Chartered’s downward 2026 XRP price forecast revision to $2.80, DeepSeek concluded that a breakout is unlikely in the coming weeks.
Still, the AI offered a bullish prediction for the cryptocurrency, estimating that, as long as it stays above the support zone at about $1.27, it retains the chance of rising above the resistance wall that starts near $1.43.
Therefore, DeepSeek opined that, with the latest upward movements, XRP is likely to remain on a relatively steady uptrend in March that would eventually see the cryptocurrency face the ‘great wall at $1.60,’ which, the model anticipates, it will overcome to land at $1.75.
Interestingly, under the prevailing circumstances at press time on March 4, the AI identified ‘geopolitical de-escalation’ as one of the key driving factors for the slow upward grind it predicted.
When challenged about the credibility of such an assessment, DeepSeek admitted the comment was based on the initially-reported four-week timeframe for the war with Iran and President Trump’s comment about operations moving faster than expected.
Still, while the AI revised its assessment and opined that giving an actual plausible timeframe is all but impossible at press time, it, nonetheless, reiterated $1.75 as the most likely XRP price on March 31, 2026.
