When Will Ripple’s Bull (XRP) Reboot? We Asked 4 AIS (And Their Answers Surprised Us)

AI solutions have agreed that XRP is currently hunting down. Also, a few of them set huge target prices for the stock.

The Ripple token has been very volatile since the US presidential election in late 2024. At that time, it was trading at $0.60, it exploded to $3.40 in 2018 in January 2025, and entered the following months, before reaching a new record in July.

Since then, it has been on a steep decline, with the stock currently below $1.40 – or down 62% from July’s peaks. Most recently, it declined to $2.40 in early January, dropped to $1.11 a month later, but found some support at the aforementioned level.

Being over 60% down in just a few months puts it on the low side. As a result, we decided to ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity how long it will take for XRP to regain control of its performance and reach new records.

Get the Bottom Line First

Before there is a theoretical chance to reverse its trend, XRP will need to break out first. The OpenAI forum noted that the token is currently in demand, possibly in April, but before it arrives, it could face strong rejection if history is any indication:

“Historically, February has been weak for XRP, and 2026 is no exception. The asset has posted multiple February losses, moderate declines and large declines in previous cycles.”

However, ChatGPT and Perplexity agreed that several factors are aligned to suggest that XRP’s decline may be imminent – the 50% drop in the months from January 6 to February 6 was met with immediate buying pressure, currency rates reaching very negative levels, developments that preceded rallies in the past, and panic selling seems to have subsided.

Restoring and Reinstating Governance

Gemini and Grok hoped that XRP could really find a bottom in the spring of 2026, which would open the door to the next phase – “foundation building and recovery.” In this bearish-to-cautious phase, XRP may regain strength at the beginning of the summer season.

Gemini was even more clear, indicating that the stock will need to recover the 50-day EMA, which is currently located around $1.80, to show a traditional exit from the bearish zone.

ChatGPT agreed to some extent, but warned that many of the most anticipated catalysts from the past few years, such as the settlement of the SEC case and the approval of spot XRP ETFs, are already behind the token, so they may require new ones. Therefore, it was fair to predict the target for the summer, placing the base case at around $2.40 range.

“If XRP goes back to $2, the market will likely consider a technical bear phase,” Grok said.

All AIs have noted that a full-blown bull phase will not begin until at least Q3 of this year, more likely in Q4. Once it’s launched, however, they added that XRP is set to benefit greatly, indicating bigger long-term goals.

“$8 by the end of 2026 in aggressive institutional acquisition scenarios,” ChatGPT said.

“Long-term consolidation targets of $8-13,” – noted Perplexity.
