Chinese DeepSeek AI Releases 2026 Price Predictions for XRP, Solana, and Cardano
DeepSeek AI, a Chinese model, has issued bullish and bearish price-path projections for XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) through the end of 2026, as 2025 concludes.
For XRP, the bullish scenario targets a price range of $4.50 to $6.00 by 2026. Key drivers for this upside include regulatory clarity following the resolution of the SEC case, Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) adoption for cross-border payments, and involvement in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This scenario implies an upside exceeding 80%. On the bearish side, XRP could slide from approximately $1.86 down to $1.00 if selling pressure and negative sentiment prevail. A price rise above $2.20 is necessary to reverse the downtrend and enable a recovery toward $3. Additionally, the U.S. has launched five spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with further approvals likely, potentially attracting institutional investment that may support a breakout in 2026.
Solana's bullish path predicts a breakout ranging between $275 and $350 by 2026, driven by ecosystem expansion and increasing institutional adoption, reflecting a potential 300% gain. Conversely, the bearish outlook suggests a decline toward a support zone of $80 to $95.
Cardano's positive scenario forecasts prices between $0.85 and $1.20 by 2026, contingent upon the successful implementation of the Chang hard fork, which promises on-chain governance, a community treasury, and real-world utility projects. The bearish path anticipates a drop to $0.25 to $0.28. A near-term break above $0.36 would confirm a rebound, while resistance at $0.38 might limit gains. Failure to break above may lead to a retreat toward $0.30, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 40 indicating current momentum conditions.
