As XRP (Ripple) remains confined within a box range near $1.40 for several months, an artificial intelligence (AI) system has suggested a potential short-term decline, heightening market tension.

According to the cryptocurrency media outlet Finbold on May 8 (local time), Finbold's AI agent predicted that the XRP price could fall by 1.68% over the next 7 days, reaching $1.37 by May 15. This AI system derived its predictions using several large language models (LLMs), including Claude Opus 4.6, DeepSeek Chat, and Grok 4.1.

The outlet explained that the AI conducted its analysis based on key technical indicators such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA). Specifically, a slowdown in XRP demand and a general decrease in altcoin market adoption were identified as factors influencing the bearish outlook.

Selling pressure was also detected in on-chain data. Finbold reported that investors have been moving XRP to exchanges to liquidate their holdings for several months. According to data released by X user Chachakobe4er (@Chachakobe4er), XRP holdings on Upbit and Binance increased by 82,142 and 1,952,177 respectively over the past 24 hours.

Technically, XRP has continued a sideways trend within a symmetrical triangle pattern after losing its key support level of $1.80 in 2025. The outlet diagnosed that as the price recently approached the apex of the triangle, its direction could be determined within as early as a week. If the support level is broken downwards, analysis suggests a greater possibility of further correction, aligning with the AI's bearish outlook.

Conversely, if XRP breaks above and settles above the upper resistance line of the symmetrical triangle, the medium-term bearish outlook could be invalidated, with the next target price set at $1.50.
