Show original

Alibaba's AI model, "Qwen3-MAX," has released price forecasts for Bitcoin (BTC), Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL) for 2026. The model predicts that all three assets will experience high volatility in the short term, presenting both bullish and bearish scenarios.

XRP: $5 Potential vs. $1.50 Support

Alibaba AI predicts that Ripple (XRP) could fall from its current price of around $1.90 to $1.50 in a worst-case scenario. However, in a bull market, it could surge from $3.50 to as high as $5, more than doubling Ripple's all-time high.

AI predicted that the launch of a spot-based XRP ETF, particularly in the US, could trigger a surge in institutional capital inflows, potentially catalyzing further upward momentum. XRP has currently broken through the $1.90 level, with the psychological resistance level of $2.00 as the next major hurdle. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also hovering around 64, indicating that short-term upside potential remains.

Solana: 400% Upside Potential Realized

Alibaba AI's most powerful bullish scenario is Solana. Currently trading at around $128 (approximately KRW 185,088), SOL is projected to rise to as high as $400 (approximately KRW 578,400). This represents a roughly 400% increase.

AI emphasized Solana's status as a "cycle-leading stock," citing its fast chain speed, the rapid growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, and institutional buying as reasons for its upward trend. From a technical perspective, the price is expected to remain stable in the $127-$130 range, suggesting further upside potential. However, a potential drop below $100 (approximately KRW 144,600) is not ruled out.

Bitcoin up to $175,000

Qwen3-MAX predicts that Bitcoin, which ended 2025 in a bear market, could experience another major reversal. The model predicts that BTC will surpass $150,000 (approximately KRW 216.9 million) by the end of 2026, and if the bull market continues, it could reach as high as $175,000 (approximately KRW 253.05 million).

This optimism is based on a favorable macroeconomic environment, including increased inflows through spot ETFs and lower interest rates. In the short term, the price is currently forming a triangle convergence zone around $89,000 (approximately KRW 128.69 million). A break above this level could lead to a rise above $90,500 (approximately KRW 130.99 million) and even $92,800 (approximately KRW 134.17 million). Conversely, a drop below $87,000 (approximately KRW 125.8 million) could trigger a downtrend.

The Memecoin 'Maxidoge''s Reflective Profit Scenario

Amidst market turmoil, "Maxidozy (MAXI)" is emerging as a viable alternative for rotational trading in the memecoin market. Analysts suggest that in a situation where there's no clear direction, investors are shifting funds toward intuitive, high-risk, high-return assets like memecoins.

Currently, approximately $4.4 million (approximately KRW 6.3584 billion) has been raised in the Maxidoge presale, and some early participants are earning up to 71% annualized interest (staking APY). Its structure is characterized by "pure liquidity and crowd psychology," without a clear roadmap or technology. If the market experiences turmoil and a lack of direction at the start of the new year, meme assets like Maxidoge are likely to attract attention in the short term.

Q. What is Alibaba AI's model?

A. Qwen3-MAX is an AI language model developed by Alibaba that competes with ChatGPT in cryptocurrency market predictions. It calculates the probability of a price rise or fall based on price data, technical analysis, and news.

Q. What needs to happen for the price of XRP to rise?

A. XRP must maintain its upward trend above $1.80, and institutional momentum, such as the launch of an ETF, is needed. As the RSI indicator is not overheated, there is room for further upside.

Q. Why is Solana attracting attention?

A. Solana is attracting both institutional capital and developer demand due to its fast speed, low fees, and vibrant DeFi ecosystem. These factors are driving its long-term growth.

Q. Can Bitcoin really reach $150,000?

A. Alibaba AI believes the price could rise to $175,000, assuming ETF inflows and improving macroeconomic conditions. However, if it fails to break through key resistance levels, a correction is also possible.

Q. Why was Maxido mentioned?

A. When the direction of mainstream coins like XRP and Bitcoin becomes uncertain, funds tend to shift to high-risk memetic coins. Currently, the Maxidoji symbolizes this trend. It is analyzed as the epicenter of short-term speculative demand.
