Leading AI Claude Predicts Price Rally for XRP, Solana, and PEPE by End of 2026
Artificial intelligence model Claude forecasts significant price gains for XRP, Solana (SOL), and PEPE by the end of 2026, despite expected weaker Bitcoin performance in 2025.
XRP is predicted to rise to between $5 and $8, suggesting a greater than threefold increase. This rally is expected to be driven by regulatory victories, the launch of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and adoption across Asian markets. XRP's price reached a July high of $3.65 following Ripple's legal success against the SEC, and if the $2 support level holds, a new all-time high could be seen by 2026.
Solana (SOL) is forecast to reach $600 by 2026, supported by growing adoption, partnerships with Western Union, and the integration of PayPal-backed stablecoins on its platform. The Solana stablecoin market cap has reportedly surpassed $15 billion. Near-term price movements will depend on SOL breaking the $144 resistance level; surpassing this target could push it near $160. Maintaining a critical demand zone is essential for this bullish outlook.
The memecoin PEPE is expected to rise by more than 200% from current levels. This is attributed to its large community, cultural relevance, and attractiveness due to its low price. Technical analysis indicates that historical price bottoms on the PEPE 3-day chart have aligned with deviations from the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) that subsequently returned to that EMA.
Overall, the memecoin sector has rallied from approximately $38 billion to over $42 billion recently, adding to optimism about PEPE and related coins. Despite the broader cryptocurrency market facing challenges, XRP, SOL, and PEPE are projected to perform well over the long term.
