 ▲ Ripple (XRP) |
Artificial intelligence model ChatGPT has predicted that XRP (Ripple) will reach $1.55 on March 1, suggesting that a short-term breakout above $2 may be difficult. However, some analysts argue that Ripple’s aggressive ecosystem expansion strategy is strengthening its fundamentals and could serve as a catalyst for a future rally.
According to cryptocurrency media outlet Finbold on February 14 (local time), ChatGPT was used to forecast XRP’s price as it struggles below $1.50 amid a broader market selloff led by Bitcoin (BTC). ChatGPT projected that if moderately positive market conditions persist, XRP will trade between $1.35 and $1.75 on March 1, with a midpoint of $1.55.
ChatGPT presented three scenarios. In a bullish case, XRP could rise to between $1.70 and $1.90 on the back of a breakout above short-term resistance and a potential short squeeze. In a neutral scenario, it is expected to move sideways between $1.35 and $1.55, bounded by support at $1.30 and resistance at $1.50, in the absence of specific catalysts. In a bearish scenario, continued selling pressure and a breakdown of key support levels could send the token down to between $1.10 and $1.30.
With XRP investors heavily reliant on market sentiment, they are hoping that major developments related to Ripple will act as a trigger for price gains. CEO Brad Garlinghouse invested a total of $4 billion last year, including the $1.25 billion acquisition of prime brokerage platform Hidden Road and the $1 billion purchase of GTreasury, and signaled that further aggressive mergers and acquisitions (M&A) could resume in the second half of 2026 based on these integrations.
From a technical perspective, XRP is currently trading at $1.43, up more than 5% over the past 24 hours, but it remains under significant downward pressure as it continues to trade below major moving averages. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) stands at $1.85 and the 200-day SMA at $2.36, both well above the current price, supporting a broader bearish trend.
Meanwhile, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator, stands at 37.98, placing it in neutral territory but leaning toward oversold conditions. Although it has not yet fallen below the typical oversold threshold of 30, the reading indicates weakening buying strength and slowing demand, suggesting that a cautious approach is warranted rather than expecting a dramatic short-term reversal.
