XRP’s sharp late-August rally pushed the token 27.07% higher on the monthly chart. However, Finbold’s artificial intelligence (AI) forecast suggests XRP could shift into a slower uptrend in September.
After analyzing multiple technical indicators, including oscillators, the relative strength index (RSI) and moving averages (MA), the Finbold AI system projects that XRP will trade at $1.43 on September 30, 2026. That would represent a 4.54% increase from its press-time price of $1.38.

AI models offer mixed XRP price predictions
Among the six AI models consulted, Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Gemini 3.5 Flash delivered the most bullish forecast. It expects XRP to reach $1.49, representing an 8.39% gain over the coming month.
DeepSeek, China’s best-known artificial intelligence platform, offered the most bearish outlook. Its forecast suggests XRP could decline 1.46% to $1.35.

SpaceX’s (NASDAQ: SPCX) Grok 4.5 placed near the middle of the forecast range, predicting that XRP would rise 4.27% to $1.43. OpenAI’s two ChatGPT models, Luna and Terra, were also relatively conservative, forecasting gains of 3.65% and 4.38%, respectively.
ChatGPT-5.6 Sol was nearly as optimistic as Gemini 3.5 Flash. It set a target of $1.48, which would put XRP 8.03% above its press-time price of $1.38.
Could XRP rally to $1.70 in early September?
Some cryptocurrency analysts believe XRP’s next rally could arrive sooner and produce substantially larger gains than the AI models anticipate.
As Finbold reported on August 31, Ali Martinez, a popular trading expert on X, believes XRP has broken out of a symmetrical descending triangle pattern.
XRP’s early-morning decline toward $1.34 briefly appeared to invalidate that assessment. However, the token’s subsequent rebound to $1.38 seemingly confirmed the breakout.
According to Martinez, the rally could carry XRP to a new local high of $1.70. That level would be 23.19% above the press-time price and 18.89% higher than Finbold AI’s average estimate of $1.43.
Even if XRP reaches that short-term high, the cryptocurrency could still return to $1.43 by September 30, 2026. Such a move, however, could signal a renewed downtrend rather than a continuation of the current uptrend.
