$XRP is back above the $3 mark after a shaky few weeks, regaining momentum and breathing new hope into the market.
Hovering at around $3.04 at the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is up over 1.72% on the daily and more than 11% on the weekly chart.
The daily volume has also seen a 32% uptick, climbing to $7.57 billion as the total market cap has gone up 2% to $181.91 billion.
Also adding to the optimism are seven spot $XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications scheduled for later this month, including one by Grayscale for October 18.
$XRP price prediction October 2025
Now that the crypto has broken back above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, implying short-term strength after a period of increased volatility, Finbold consulted its AI Signals machine learning tool to predict an average $XRP price for the end of October by integrating large language models (LLMs) with momentum-driven market technical indicators.
Based on the projections, the cryptocurrency could potentially trade as high as $3.18 by the end of the month, implying a 4.71% increase from the current levels.
Of the three LLMs used in the prediction, Claude Sonnet 4 projected the biggest price of $3.45 (+13.49%), while Grok 3 suggested it might go up to $3.15 (+3.62%). Also notable is that GPT-4o was actually bearish, believing the asset is likely to drop to $2.95 (-2.96%).
From a technical perspective, the next key hurdle lies at around $3.20, with stronger resistance near $3.40, levels already tested in August this year. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sitting in a neutral zone at 55.55, while momentum indicators like the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) are turning bullish at −0.00192 and 0.01515, respectively.
As mentioned, however, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing seven $XRP ETF filings, with the first decision deadline set for October 18, 2025.
The crypto’s trajectory hinges on approvals, as they could trigger substantial institutional inflows and result in a price surge rally, while delays or outright rejections risk short-term sell-offs.
