ChatGPT 5.2 outlined dual bullish and bearish paths for XRP, PEPE, and Shiba Inu for 2026. For XRP, it highlighted $1.80 support, $2.00 resistance, and RSI around 48, with a bull case up to $8 and a revisit to the $3–$5 range. PEPE's upside exceeds 200%, while SHIB's bull scenario tops 500% and the bear case points to a possible 70% drop.

In a new experiment, ChatGPT 5.2 was asked to project potential price paths for XRP, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu heading into 2026, presenting both upside and downside scenarios. For XRP, the AI's view ranges from a decline toward $1.20 to a possible return to the $3.50–$4.20 zone following Ripple's legal win and growing adoption. It also anticipates that a renewed memecoin cycle and broader risk-on sentiment could lift Dogecoin toward $0.30–$0.35 and help Shiba Inu recover if key price levels are reclaimed and its planned 2026 network upgrade is completed.

As 2025 enters its final week, DeepSeek AI released updated projections for XRP, Solana and Cardano through the end of 2026. The model flags a high-volatility phase and maps bull and bear paths: XRP's upside targets $4.50–$6.00 with a risk to $1.00, Solana's $275–$350 with $80–$95 downside, and Cardano's $0.85–$1.20 with a $0.25–$0.28 floor.

Analysts say Solana remains capped below $127, with bulls defending around $123 as momentum wanes. According to the article, SOL ETFs logged about $1.4M in inflows on December 24, but traders are watching for a high‑volume break above $144 to confirm trend continuation.

Cardano’s ADA has fallen under $0.35 for the first time in over a year while traders watch whether it can reclaim the $0.36 resistance. Midnight’s NIGHT token has generated more than $1.5B in recent trading volume, nearly double Cardano’s roughly $400M, highlighting shifting liquidity. ADA needs to hold above $0.36 to target $0.38, while a failure could see price retest the $0.30 zone so long as support near $0.27 remains intact.

RAIN, an Arbitrum-based token, has surged 125% in the past 30 days, lifting its circulating market cap above $2.7B. In late November 2025, Enlivex Therapeutics announced a $212M private placement to build a corporate treasury centered on RAIN, while a December 3, 2025 post by the project highlighted an incentivized market tied to Arbitrum's social follow.

Monero's XMR has climbed above its 2021 peak, delivering a 146% year-on-year gain and rising 27% over the past 30 days while most major coins lag. Traders are now watching the $500 level as a potential breakout zone, though a dip toward $400 remains on the table. Separately, Bitcoin Hyper, a Bitcoin Layer 2 project, has raised $29.5M and currently advertises staking rewards of up to 39% APY into early 2026.

Solana price has been under heavy pressure, with the chart printing three consecutive months of red candles and a year-on-year drop of about 40%. With 11 days remaining in 2025, SOL is still on track to overtake Ethereum in annual revenue for the first time, but trading metrics have deteriorated sharply. Active Solana wallets have fallen from 4.8 million in January to 624,000, while the price trades in a $144–$120 range where a break below support could open the door to $100.

Hyperliquid’s HYPE token has fallen more than 56.5% in under 90 days, dropping from $58 to below $25 even as its DEX revenue reaches monthly highs in October and November. A crypto venture CEO has criticized the project’s daily $2 million buybacks, while traders watch key chart levels around $30 resistance and $22.5 support to gauge whether the downtrend will extend. At the same time, Bitcoin Hyper, a Bitcoin-focused Layer 2 that has raised nearly $29.5M and offers around 39% APY for stakers, is attracting attention as a utility-driven alternative during the market slowdown.
