OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model ChatGPT has predicted that $XRP could firmly establish itself above the $1.50 level by the end of October.
Specifically, the model forecasts the cryptocurrency could reach $1.68 by October 31, 2026, representing a gain of about 12% from its current price of $1.50.
The forecast comes as $XRP balances strong ETF demand and whale accumulation against resistance near $1.70. Investors are also monitoring the impact of Ripple’s latest 1 billion $XRP escrow release and broader crypto market sentiment.

ChatGPT assigned a 50% probability to $XRP trading between $1.55 and $1.75 by October 31. A bullish scenario, carrying a 25% probability, sees the asset rising to between $1.80 and $2.05, while a bearish outcome, also assigned a 25% probability, could push $XRP back to the $1.25 to $1.40 range.

Taking both bullish and bearish factors into account, ChatGPT expects $XRP to spend much of October trading between $1.45 and $1.70 before attempting a breakout later in the month.
The AI model’s forecasts include a bear-case target of $1.32, a base-case target of $1.68, and a bull-case target of $1.95.
At the same time, ChatGPT identified several bullish catalysts for $XRP, including nearly $1.7 billion in cumulative ETF inflows, continued whale accumulation, rising $XRP Ledger activity, RLUSD growth, and increasing tokenization on the network.
The AI model also noted that Ripple’s late-October Swell conference could provide additional momentum, although historically weak October seasonality remains a risk.

From a technical perspective, $XRP’s setup remains constructive, with the token trading above both its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $1.39 and 200-day SMA of $1.28. This suggests the broader trend remains bullish as buyers continue defending higher price levels and $XRP holds above key support zones.
Meanwhile, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 55.42, placing the asset in neutral territory. The reading indicates $XRP is neither overbought nor oversold, leaving room for additional upside without signaling excessive market exuberance.
