Can XRP spike to $2 next week? That’s what traders are whispering after the token clawed back from a low of $1.10 to around $1.48 in a matter of days. Forecasts for the week ahead vary wildly — some AI models top out at $1.60, others flag a slide toward $1.24. Meanwhile, the broaderXRP price prediction for 2026 just got a major revision from Standard Chartered. Whether the token goes up at all from here may depend on a single support level holding.

Four widely used AI chatbots were asked to weigh in on what next week holds for XRP, and none of them agreed. ChatGPT stated:

“At the moment, XRP looks more like it’s in a stabilization phase rather than the beginning of a major breakout. The bounce from around $1.10 to $1.50 shows that buyers stepped in aggressively at lower levels, which is constructive. However, sharp rebounds are often followed by consolidation before any serious continuation higher.”

A spike toward $2 was called possible, but only with a significant catalyst behind it. We are talking about a broad crypto market revival or major Ripple news. Grok was more conservative, placing $1.60 as the realistic near-term target and pushing any $1.80 move to late February. Perplexity turned outright bearish, flagging a drop to $1.24 as its base case. Google’s Gemini had this to say:

“This level isn’t just a number – it’s the technical floor that has been holding the ‘February slide’ together. XRP is hovering right on that edge, and if it plummets below this, it could open the door to a further plunge to as low as $1.”

The bank’s revised XRP price prediction for 2026 landed at $2.80, down from the earlier $8 target — a 65% cut.Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, was direct in his note to investors:

“Near-term, we see potential for further price downside in the coming months.”

Nevertheless, the revision was not taken by all as a bad news. XRP advocate Bill Morgan observed that he had never thought the market would go to the $8 call in the first place. Therefore, $2.80 is merely indicative of a more realistic opinion of where the market will be. 2030’s goal of $28 was not reduced and XRP attracted $33.4 million in new inflows even as most were being sold, among the only assets to do so.
