Jakarta, Pintu News – The price of cryptocurrency Ripple (XRP) has come under significant pressure in recent weeks, with a correction from its early year highs. This decline has sparked renewed discussion among analysts and artificial intelligence (AI) models about the possibility of XRP dropping to or below USD 1.00 in the February 2026 period. The results of the various AI predictions provide a mixed picture that helps investors understand the potential price direction, without being an investment recommendation.
XRP briefly reached over USD 2.40 in early January 2026, but a sharp correction brought the price down to a 14-month low around USD 1.50. This decline reflects strong market resistance as well as capital outflows from risky crypto assets.
This intense selling pressure is partly due to risk-off market sentiment and outflows from some related instruments, although fundamental factors such as the use of XRP in cross-face solutions are still relevant.

AI models such as ChatGPT note that the USD 1.00 level is likely to hold for XRP in early February, despite continued strong selling pressure. The AI states that the likelihood of a drop below this level within February 2026 is relatively small – provided there is no black swan event or extreme event in the global market.
Some other models also project that XRP has a strong chance of entering a consolidation phase first before determining further trend direction. This scenario includes sideways price movement within the range of support and resistance that has been formed.
Other AIs such as Perplexity suggest that in a bad scenario – e.g. geopolitical escalation – XRP could face further downward pressure, but still remain above the USD 1.00 psychological level as long as there are no extreme market events.
Conservative models predict the early February price range could be around USD 1.25-USD 1.45 if important support fails to hold. This suggests a continued bearish pattern if market pressure remains dominant.
AI’s predictions also suggest that XRP may enter a short-term consolidation phase before deciding on the next trend direction. In this scenario, the price area between USD 1.80 and USD 2.00 could be an important zone in case of a rebound.
This consolidation phase often follows periods of high volatility in the crypto market, giving supply and demand time to find a new balance. For both young and novice investors, understanding consolidation dynamics helps assess risk and rebound potential.
AI’s predictions suggest that while price pressure is still significant, the likelihood of XRP falling below USD 1.00 by February 2026 is not considered very high in the absence of extreme catalysts. However, investors need to understand that predictions are not guarantees and crypto market volatility remains high.
Young investors are also advised to look at technical data and market sentiment holistically rather than relying entirely on a single indicator or AI model. XRP remains influenced by many global and asset-specific factors that can change rapidly.
