A machine learning model has projected that XRP could trade at an average price of $1.29 on October 1, 2026.
Based on the forecast, Finbold’s AI Agent predicts XRP could decline 3.61% from its current price of $1.34.
The prediction was generated using a combination of artificial intelligence models, including DeepSeek Chat, GPT-5.6 Sol, and Gemini 3.5 Flash.
While the average outlook points to a modest pullback over the next 18 days, the individual models offered notably different XRP price targets.
In this line, GPT-5.6 Sol delivered the most bullish forecast, predicting XRP would reach $1.43, representing a 6.72% gain from current levels.
In contrast, Gemini 3.5 Flash projected XRP at $1.16, a decline of 13.81%, while DeepSeek Chat forecast the token at $1.29, down 3.73%.
XRP’s key support levels
The forecast comes as the cryptocurrency continues to hold above the closely watched $1.35 support zone, which several analysts have identified as a key level for maintaining the asset’s broader recovery trend.
Market data shows XRP remains supported by strong inflows into U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with cumulative inflows surpassing $1.6 billion this year.
Institutional demand has remained resilient despite XRP retreating from its August peak near $1.70. ETF products attracted more than $110 million in weekly inflows during one of their strongest weeks of 2026, signaling continued investor interest in the asset.
At the same time, XRP faces resistance between $1.50 and $1.55, a range that has repeatedly capped upside attempts in recent weeks.
A sustained move above this area could improve the chances of a broader rally, while a break below the $1.35 support region may expose the token to further downside pressure.
In this regard, as reported by Finbold, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noted that the $1.35 mark remains XRP’s most critical support level as the asset attempts to consolidate above $1.
