It has been an eventful start to the new year on both the macro and crypto fronts, with the US at the center of global controversy, and some assets reacting with expected volatility. Ripple’s cross-border token became one of the top performers during the first week, going from under $1.90 to $2.40 in the span of days. However, it was rejected there and now struggles below $2.10, which means a minor decline on a weekly scale. To gain a further perspective on its potential for the week ahead, we decided to ask four of the most popular AI solutions about their take. What’s Next, XRP? OpenAI’s answer to the artificial intelligence boom said that the base case scenario for the week ahead is continued consolidation after a period of strong volatility. Consequently, it believes XRP will remain above the $2.00 psychological support, which has attracted buyers multiple times in recent sessions, and below the $2.30 resistance that aligns with certain rejection levels. In this consolidation phase, XRP will “frustrate” certain traders as it awais for a clearer directional signal from Bitcoin and the broader market, said ChatGPT. Grok’s predictions were a little more concerning for the Ripple bulls. It noted that there’s a major risk for XPR if it dips and closes below $2.00. Then, the bears would reassert their dominance and could drive the asset south to its 2026 starting point of under $1.90. However, it explained that this would be considered a “healthy correction within the larger structure,” but it would likely dampen bullish sentiment in the short term. For the Bulls Perplexity’s forecast stands in the opposite corner. It believes XRP has the strength to reclaim the $2.20-$2.25 resistance with “strong volume,” especially if the inflows into the spot Ripple ETFs continue or even accelerate. If buyers manage to flip that zone into support, then the underlying asset could attempt a recovery toward $2.40-$2.50, especially if BTC stabilizes or pushes higher. Interestingly, Gemini’s take on the matter was quite identical. It believes XRP could retest the $2.40 peak reached on January 6 if it goes beyond $2.22. In fact, it referred to this level as XRP’s “ceiling,” and added that if the asset reclaims it, it would mean that the Q4 correction is over. “The week ahead will likely be a battle to defend $2.00. As long as XRP stays above that price, the monthly uptrend remains intact. If you see it cross $2.15 with high volume, we are likely heading back to the monthly highs,” concluded Gemini.
