Two advanced AI models—Grok and DeepSeek—have laid out price scenarios for Kaspa (KAS) and Ondo Finance (ONDO) through the end of September 2026, while short-term technicals are flashing bullish momentum for ONDO, XRP, and Hedera (HBAR). The AI predictions come as Kaspa attempts to stabilize after a months-long correction, while ONDO rides a wave of institutional interest. Meanwhile, on‑chain and technical data point to further upside for ONDO, XRP, and HBAR if key resistance levels are broken.
Kaspa: AI sees slow recovery after hard fork
Kaspa spent most of 2026 under pressure, sliding from a January high of $0.0532 to consolidating near $0.028–$0.030 in July. The recent Toccata hard fork (June 30) introduced native KRC‑20 tokens, SilverScript smart contracts, and ZK‑proof verification, but real adoption is still unproven. Both AI models base their forecasts on Bitcoin’s direction, the upgrade’s traction, and Kaspa’s tightening supply (95.4% of the 28.7 billion KAS cap already mined).
Grok’s base case puts KAS at $0.032–$0.038 by September, assuming slow but steady recovery. Its bullish scenario, triggered by Bitcoin above $70,000 and developer activity, lifts KAS to $0.042–$0.048. If Bitcoin weakens and adoption stalls, the bear case targets $0.022–$0.027. DeepSeek’s outlook is similar, with base $0.032–$0.042, bull $0.050–$0.055, and bear below $0.025.
ONDO: institutional demand drives AI optimism
Ondo Finance rebounded sharply from a February low of $0.20 after a major token unlock. Institutional total value locked (TVL) rose 13% in March, quarterly revenue hit $13.26 million in May, and the project expanded tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana and BNB Chain alongside DTCC integration. Governance also approved a revenue‑sharing model directing 20% of protocol income to staking.
Grok’s base case for ONDO is $0.35–$0.46, with a bullish range of $0.54–$1.13 contingent on another Bitcoin rally and stronger institutional flows. The bear case sits below $0.25 if token unlocks and weak markets persist. DeepSeek mirrors this, forecasting base $0.35–$0.46, bullish $0.54–$1.13, and bearish below $0.25.
Technical analysis: ONDO, XRP, HBAR hold bullish structures
On July 22, ONDO was trading near $0.39 after a 12% surge the previous day. Key support sits at $0.37, with resistance at $0.41; a break above could target $0.44. RSI (64.55) and MACD (0.015, Buy) support continued upward momentum, though the Stochastic Oscillator (87.36) warns of short‑term overbought conditions.
XRP, after rising to $1.14, is defending $1.11 support. A move above $1.15 would open the door to $1.18. RSI (59.19) and MACD (0.013, Buy) confirm buyer control without extreme readings.
Hedera (HBAR) is testing $0.070 resistance after touching $0.069. With RSI at 72.49 and MACD positive, a breakout toward $0.072 is possible, though the overbought Stochastic (74.80) could trigger short‑term consolidation. Support stands at $0.068.
The confluence of AI‑generated scenarios and real‑time technical strength suggests that ONDO, XRP, and HBAR may extend their rallies, while Kaspa’s fate depends heavily on Bitcoin and post‑upgrade adoption.
