Recent market turmoil has pushed major altcoins XRP and Cardano's ADA to multi-year lows, prompting analysis from leading artificial intelligence models. The predictions, gathered from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, and Gemini, paint a concerning picture for both assets, suggesting the current downturn may have further to run.
XRP's Precipitous Fall and AI Forecasts
XRP became the worst performer during a recent Thursday crash, dropping to just over $1.10 for the first time in over a year. This represents a loss of more than 50% of its value in just a month, having peaked at $2.40 on January 6. ChatGPT noted this plunge signifies a clear shift in market structure, not just a healthy correction. The AI suggested that if bearish behavior continues, XRP could fall to a range between $0.85 and $0.95. Perplexity largely agreed with this target, calling it a "realistic bear-cycle low target if broader capitulation unfolds."
Gemini highlighted the critical psychological support at $1.00, warning that a break below this level could lead to an exponential worsening of XRP's situation as investors flee. In such a scenario, Gemini predicted a potential crash to around $0.60, which would complete a full circle back to its levels from the 2024 US presidential elections. Grok offered a slightly more optimistic, albeit conditional, outlook. It outlined a scenario where XRP could have bottomed at $1.10, potentially trading sideways between $1.10 and $1.45 before attempting a rebound above $1.60. However, Grok warned that a breakdown below $1.00 would invalidate this case and open the door for declines under $0.90.
Cardano's ADA Faces a 'Falling Knife' Scenario
Cardano's ADA has faced even more severe pressure, dropping to $0.222—its lowest level since June 2023—before a slight recovery to $0.27. The token is down 34% monthly and has plunged 80% from its cycle top of $1.33 in late 2024. ChatGPT described the decline as a "structural breakdown of long-term support," with weakened buy-the-dip demand. It identified $0.20 as a critical "line in the sand." A break below could lead to a target of $0.15-$0.16, with an extreme capitulation scenario seeing ADA plummet to $0.10-$0.12.
Gemini characterized ADA's daily chart as a "falling knife," with the breakdown below $0.30 acting as the "final nail in the coffin for many long-term holders." It presented a "nightmare" scenario where, if Bitcoin were to capitulate to $55,000, ADA could lose its status as a major altcoin. A breakdown below $0.15 could then create a liquidity vacuum, pulling the price down to $0.09. Both AIs emphasized that such severe declines, while shocking, align with historical patterns where large-cap altcoins lose 80-90% of their value during crypto winters.
