Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming a forecasting tool, and we’ve decided to pit different models in a battleground to compare their predictive outputs. And what better altcoin to use than XRP? It’s currently trading at around $2.08 and volatility is starting to pick up across the market. As CryptoPotato reported yesterday, Bitcoin’s price shot up to $94.6K in minutes on escalating odds of another rate cut today. That said, we decided to task three advanced AI systems with projecting the asset’s next major move, mostly done through ChatGPT’s engine – namely, a pretend trend-based neural network, an LSTM designed to detect cyclical patterns, and a multi-factor AI. The results were interesting and, honestly, rather surprising. Let’s have a look. Model #1: A Trend-Based Neural Network Signals a Momentum Shift for XRP’s Price The first system that came through ChatGPT is a trend-based neural network trained on multi-year XRP price patterns. It flagged a possible early-stage bullish reversal, using the following parameters. First, it outlined a support zone between $2.05 and $2.10. According to the AI, the region has so far acted as a reactive support floor in five separate instances over the past 90 days. It suggested that this makes it a zone with a high structural integrity score. In simple words, it means that the price has repeatedly tested this zone so far, and it hasn’t fallen through. The second parameter that it looked at is the flattening of short-term moving averages. The model outlines that the 20-day EMA has compressed to stay within 0.7% of the 50-day EMA. According to it, this is a pattern that historically preceded upside shifts in 2021 and late 2023. At number three, the model looked at the volume stability. It outlined stable $3.7 billion in daily volume (data cross-checked against CoinMarketCap figures), which is only 9% below last month’s average, despite the price trading within a relatively narrow range. The neural net model interprets this as accumulation and not as distribution. Taking all of the above into account, the model assigns a 62% probability to a “momentum deviation event.” What this means is it believes there is a high chance of a move that would see XRP’s price break out of the current pattern and its bias is tilted toward the upside. Model #2: An LSTM Predicts Incoming Volatility, But There’s a Twist The second model that ChatGPT simulated was an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) that is designed to detect certain patterns that cycle within noisy markets. Interestingly, it delivered a similar outcome, although it came with a twist. The numbers behind it prediction are derived from the following parameters. First, it looked at the difference between XRP’s weekly high and low, which has shrunk to around 5%. According to the model, this is the tightest range since July, which checks out. This, according to the model, is a precursor to a vicious move. Moreover, the 30-day volatility is down to slightly above 10% for December, as opposed to an average of close to 50% for the past 12 months. This is a classic signal of a “coiled spring.” Last but not least, this model also identifies a 22% increase in reaction intensity against S&P 500 and DXY correlations. This suggests that macro catalysts could produce outsized reactions in the XRP price. The bottom line here is that it assigns a 73% probability that XRP will break its current structure with a move of up to 18% within a short term, without specifying the direction and weighing macro events as the main catalyst. This is interesting because just tonight there’s the FOMC meeting that will decide on whether or not to cut interest rates. Model #3: A Multi-Factor AI Bets on Macro-Driven Breakout Taking into account certain factors such as the current XRPL velocity of around 0.0324, which is the highest level in 2025. This means that XRP is changing hands more rapidly, and it’s not staying idle in cold wallets. According to the model, this tends to correlate with stronger liquidity, active trading, and institutional flows, albeit occasionally. Moreover, the last model also took into account the rising transaction and payment volume growth, suggesting that “settlement activity for cross-border and insitutional use cases” is growing. To top it all up, the AI suggests that there will possibly be reduced selling pressure ahead as the exchange-flow outlines that more XRP is leaving centralized exchanges, as opposed to coming in. This is commonly associated with longer-term holding behaviors. Conclusion: Volatility Incoming, but Which Way? With all of the above in consideration, it appears that all three models unanimously believe that there will be increased volatility, with some of them assigning higher probabilities of an upside move, rather than a bearish breakdown. Key levels to watch remain within the range between $2.22 and $2.28 as important near-term resistance zones.
