Chinese AI model DeepSeek, often called a serious competitor to ChatGPT, has released new price predictions for XRP, Cardano and Solana as 2025 enters its final week.
According to the model, all three coins are entering a high volatility window, which can make sharp movements in both directions before the end of the year. The outlook is based on a mix of macro factors, fundamentals and technical signals.
Below is DeepSeek AI's list of two possible scenarios, showing the bullish and bearish price paths they see for each asset through the end of December.
Ripple (XRP): DeepSeek AI predicts a run to $6 to enter the new year
DeepSeek AI's bull case for Ripple's XRP entering 2026 targets $4.50 to $6.00.
The bull case assumes a few big things go right: clearer regulation after the SEC case, wider acceptance of Ripple's ODL for cross-border payments, and deeper involvement in CBCC projects. If all that lines up, DeepSeek thinks XRP could jump more than 80% and push to $3 to $5.
On the flip side, the bearing is very rough. DeepSeek warns that XRP could slide sharply from around $1.86 to $1.00 if selling pressure picks up and sentiment turns bearish. That's a big drop and shows how volatile things can be if the market goes negative.
XRP needs to break above the $2.2 level to fully reverse the downtrend. This breaks the token carrier's pricing structure. This could at least set the level for a strong recovery to $3.
The recent launch of five spot XRP ETFs in the United States could bring a new wave of institutional money, even during the slow holiday season. We've seen this playbook before with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, where interest builds quietly before big moves follow.
With more ETF approvals expected in the coming months, it is increasingly likely that 2026 will turn out to be a new breakout year for XRP. For investors who are accumulating at current levels, the risk-reward may seem very attractive.
Solana (SOL): DeepSeek expects Solana to be poised for a 300% jump
DeepSeek AI's bull case for Solana SOL entering 2026 targets $275 to $350.
Solana remains the coin of the cycle. DeepSeek AI predicts that Solana will drive high-powered and scalable consumer applications as ecosystem growth and increasing institutional adoption could lead to a 300% breakdown by early 2026.
If that fails, the bear case is no worse than the current situation, with DeepSeek showing a drop to the $80-$95 support zone.
There are several factors at play here, but overall the power structure remains intact.
Analyst James Easton believes the setup will still support a rally as long as the price continues above this wedge. What really stands out is the weekly RSI, which is actually lower than it was at the bottom of a bear market, a situation that has historically been punctuated by strong sideways movements.
Cardano (ADA): Says Deepseek Will Finally Return Above Dollar Mark?
DeepSeek AI's bull case for Cardano ADA targets $0.85 to $1.20 going into 2026.
This Cardano is really about delivery. Chang's hard fork soft release unlocks on-chain governance and community treasury, while real-world utility projects prove that a peer-reviewed approach works at scale.
However, if those pieces stall or become disappointing, the sentiment could quickly reverse and send the price into the $0.25–$0.28 bearish zone.
ADA needs to break and hold above the $0.36 level in the short term to ensure a bullish rebound. If so, the next clear resistance is placed at $0.38, the price has fallen twice in the last week.
If this level does not break, a drop to the $0.30 zone is still possible. The RSI is around 40 and not yet oversold, leaving room for that scenario to play out.
As long as the lows near $0.27 are not broken, the bullish setup is likely to enter the new year.
Deepseek's best choice might be quietly Maxi Doge.
While DeepSeek is laying out extreme bull and bear cases for XRP, Solana, and Cardano, some traders are skipping the predictions altogether and focusing on where momentum is quietly building. That's where Maxi Doge comes in.
Maxi Doge is positioning itself as a pure high-beta memecoin play for the next cycle, built for the volatility that DeepSeek is warning of. As the cores are cut and their emotions fragmented, capital often turns to powerful mime narratives that don't need absolute macro conditions to operate.
The project has already raised more than $4.28M, which is a strong sign considering how cautious the market has been recently. On top of that, awarded rewards are set at 71% API, which provides a real incentive to lock and protect rather than chasing short-term price swings.
While AI models argue that SOL will fall to $300 or XRP to $1, Maxi Doge is doing what early memecoin winners often do, quietly building, attracting committed capital and setting the stage before the broader market wakes up.
If 2026 turns out to be a year of high volatility, as many expect, signs with strong communities, simple narratives and aggressive tokinomics will outperform all others. Maxi Doge is shaping up to be one of those plays.
