As AI tools become increasingly involved in the field of encrypted investments, the market no longer relies solely on data and macro-level information. Instead, judgments made by artificial intelligence are also beginning to be taken seriously as a source of information. With Bitcoin fluctuating at high levels and capital flowing faster, XRP is influenced by concerns regarding cross-border payments and regulatory changes. On the other hand, meme coins like PEPE and SHIB continue to be influenced by emotions and liquidity factors.
Based on market conditions in January and the overall environment for 2026, we asked the latest GPT-5.2 model for its predictions regarding the prices of XRP, PEPE, and SHIB. The results showed that the model did not simply predict either a bullish or bearish scenario. Instead, it provided a two-sided forecast that took into account both potential gains and risk of price drops, offering investors a more comprehensive perspective.

Ripple (XRP): ChatGPT predicts a possible rebound to $8.
When predicting the bull market scenario for 2026, ChatGPT pointed out that its optimistic expectations stem from clearer regulations after legal disputes, increasing interest from institutions, and continued expansion of practical payment applications.
Analysts generally expect XRP to continue performing strongly, which aligns with ChatGPT’s prediction that prices could return to the $3 to $5 range by 2026.

There are three key levels on the XRP chart that require close attention. To maintain a bullish trend, XRP needs to hold above $1.80 when entering the first quarter.
If this price level can be stabilized, the price is expected to push up again towards the psychological resistance level of $2.00. Given that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently hovers around 48, there is still room for an upward move to $2.20 in the short term.
If the price drops below $1.80, the current technical structure will weaken, and $1.60 will become the main support level.

If the altcoin market strengthens, funds may shift towards meme coins such as PEPE and SHIB.
ChatGPT predicts that if the cryptocurrency market enters the true “altcoin season,” the meme coin sector could experience a revival. This would encourage investors to reallocate their high-risk assets and inject new liquidity into this sector.

Regarding PEPE, ChatGPT predicts that its price could increase by more than 200% from the current level.
This is mainly due to the fact that its community has remained active despite several challenges, while trading volume continues to rise and community interaction increases, all of which contribute to its strength.

This weekly chart of PEPE shows that after several months of declining prices, the price has dropped back to the bottom of the range. This is usually a key point where the market may start to rebound or experience a structural breakout.
The support at the current bottom has been tested multiple times, and although it seems weak, the buying pressure is still strong.
As long as the PEPE currency can maintain this underlying support, its upward trajectory will become clearer. First, it needs to regain control of the middle range of the price spectrum, and then it will challenge the high points above that range, where there is strong resistance.

In contrast, SHIB’s situation is different. ChatGPT indicates that SHIB has one of the largest ecosystems, and its token destruction mechanism continues to improve.
These factors could be important in supporting SHIB’s price levels in 2026. Additionally, the long-awaited privacy enhancement feature may also create new demand for this blockchain.
In terms of prices, ChatGPT predicts that under optimistic circumstances, SHIB’s value could increase by more than 500%. However, if market momentum continues to weaken, prices could fall by 70% in more pessimistic scenarios.

SHIB is still in a downward trend, but its price is currently stable within the demand range. The current rebound seems more like a technical correction rather than a reversal of the trend. However, sellers have not managed to reach a new low yet.
