When Will Ripple’s (XRP) Bull Run Resume? We Asked Four AIs (And Their Answers Surprised Us)

The AI ​​solutions agreed that XRP is currently looking for a bottom. Also, some of them set huge price targets for the asset.

Things have been mostly downhill since then, with assets currently sitting below $1.40 – or a 62% decline from July highs. Most recently, it was rejected at $2.40 in early January and dumped to $1.11 a month later, but some support has been found at the aforementioned level.

With a drop of more than 60% in just a few months, the price is in bearish territory. That’s why we decided to ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity how long it would take for XRP to reignite its bull run and hit new all-time highs.

First find a bottom

Before there is even a theoretical chance of reversing the trend, XRP would first have to bottom out. OpenAI’s platform noted that the token is currently on a tear, which could happen in April, but before it does, it could suffer even heavier drops if history is any indication:

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

Nevertheless, ChatGPT and Perplexity agreed that several factors indicate that XRP’s bottom could be quite close: a 50% drop in the month between January 6 and February 6 was accompanied by immediate buying pressure, funding rates reached deeply negative levels, a development that preceded past rallies, and panic selling appears to have abated.

Restore and restart

Gemini and Grok were somewhat optimistic that XRP could indeed find a bottom in the spring of 2026, which would open the door for the next phase: ‘base building and recovery’. In this neutral to cautiously bullish phase, XRP could regain some traction at the start of the summer season.

Gemini was even more specific, indicating that the asset should regain the 50-day EMA, which is currently around $1.80, to signal the traditional exit from bearish territory.

ChatGPT agreed to some extent, but cautioned that most of the long-awaited bullish catalysts of recent years, such as the SEC lawsuit resolution and the approval of spot XRP ETFs, are already behind the token, so it could be looking for new ones. As such, they were quite conservative in predicting a target for the summer, with a base case around $2.40.

“If XRP regains $2, the market will likely consider the bear phase technically over,” Grok said.

All AIs noted that a full bull phase would not start at least in the third quarter of this year, most likely in the fourth quarter. However, once it started, they added that XRP is positioned to gain a lot of upside, indicating some huge longer-term goals.

“$8 by end 2026 in aggressive institutional adoption scenarios,” ChatGPT said

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