Finbold has recently turned to PricePredictions, a crypto analytics platform that utilizes machine learning algorithms, to gain insights into XRP’s future price movements.
According to the latest data obtained on May 2, the artificial intelligence (AI) forecasts that XRP’s price is unlikely to experience significant fluctuations by the end of the month, with the cryptocurrency maintaining its current range-bound state.
The platform predicts that on May 31, 2023, XRP’s price will hover around $0.444, indicating a gradual bearish market move for the token between now and the end of the month. The estimation reflects a very minor decline of -4.1% from XRP’s current price at the time of publication.

Expert analysis
When looking at the weekly timeframe, there is a general observation that XRP’s price tends to consolidate near the upper end of the Bollinger Band. Historically, this consolidation has been followed by either a significant price drop or a significant price increase, indicating that XRP’s future price movement may be unpredictable.
Analyzing historical data, there appears to be a 50/50 chance for either a price drop or price increase to occur, according to crypto trader Egrag Crypto on Twitter on May 2.
Based on the historical data provided, simulations suggest that XRP’s price targets may vary depending on the magnitude of the dump or pump.
In the event of a dump, with a decline of 68%, the simulation predicts a price target of $0.20. If the decline is steeper at 77%, the price target drops further to $0.135. On the other hand, in the case of a pump, with a price increase of 1,650%, the price target drops to $5.2.
However, it is important to note that these simulations are based on historical data and do not guarantee accurate predictions of future price movements. Ultimately, a lot will depend on the outcome of the ongoing legal dispute between blockchain firm Ripple and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) which continues to drive uncertainty in the crypto community.
