With XRP currently in a massive sell-off that has seen the asset face the threat of dropping below the $1.50 support level, insights from an artificial intelligence (AI) model suggest that the token is likely to reclaim the $2 mark by the end of the month. Indeed, XRP’s sell-off has been triggered by broader market sentiment, with leading assets such as Bitcoin continuing to record capital outflows. The market is amid waning interest in risk assets, driven by political uncertainty and mounting macroeconomic pressures. As of press time, XRP was trading at $1.66, having plunged over 4% in the past 24 hours. On the weekly timeframe, the asset has declined by more than 12.5%. XRP seven-day price chart.

The gap between price and these averages underscores persistent downside pressure. At the same time, the 14-day RSI sits around 30, signaling oversold conditions. This suggests selling momentum is stretched, and a short-term bounce is possible. However, as long as XRP remains below its key moving averages, any rebound is likely corrective rather than trend-changing. XRP price prediction Regarding the price outlook, Finbold turned to OpenAI’s ChatGPT , which forecast that XRP could rebound and find support by February 28, 2026, based on the current market structure, momentum, and broader crypto conditions. The model noted that XRP is in a post-volatility compression phase following a sharp move. Such transitions typically resolve through either a slow continuation or a range-bound recovery. In this case, the lack of a decisive bearish breakdown points to a gradual move higher within a defined range rather than a sharp sell-off. At the same time, XRP’s relative behavior also supports this view. While it often lags Bitcoin ( BTC ) during strong rallies, it has shown resilience during consolidation phases. If the broader cryptocurrency market remains neutral to mildly positive, XRP is more likely to drift higher than materially underperform. With less than a month until February 28, the model ruled out extreme outcomes, favoring mean reversion and modest trend continuation over a parabolic rally or deep decline. XRP price scenarios for February 28 Under its base-case scenario, viewed as the most likely outcome, ChatGPT expects XRP to oscillate while slowly trending higher, settling in a zone between $2.10 and $2.25, where buying and selling pressure are more evenly balanced. A bearish scenario, assigned a lower probability, would see a broader risk-off move across crypto markets, with XRP testing support but holding in the $1.80 to $1.90 range. A bullish scenario would require a strong market-wide catalyst, allowing momentum to expand and pushing XRP toward $2.40 to $2.45, though the model considers a move beyond that range unlikely without a new narrative driver.
