Claude AI forecasts positive trajectory for key altcoins by year-end
10th July 2025 – (New York) Anthropic’s advanced AI language model, Claude, has projected a cautiously optimistic outlook for leading altcoins ahead of the Christmas season. Bitcoin ($BTC), boasting a massive $2 trillion market capitalisation, has demonstrated a minimal 1% uptick in the past 24 hours, currently hovering at $109,308, just 2.2% below its all-time high (ATH) of $111,814 achieved on 22nd May .
Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East prompted an investor flight to safety, impacting risk markets like cryptocurrencies and equities. However, renewed peace talks have sparked hope, bolstering overall market sentiment.
According to Claude AI’s recent analysis, Ripple’s XRP could experience a significant surge, potentially reaching $14 by the year’s end—more than six times its current value at around $2.36. This bullish forecast is underpinned by various factors, including Ripple’s legal triumph against the SEC, increased institutional adoption, and excitement surrounding a possible approval for a U.S. XRP spot ETF.
Recognised for its swift, cost-effective, and compliant transactions, XRP has garnered attention for its suitability in global remittance networks. Following a protracted legal battle, Ripple received clarity in March when the SEC withdrew its lawsuit, reinforcing market confidence in the token.
Presently trading slightly above $2, analysts anticipate $3 as the immediate resistance level. If XRP surpasses this hurdle, Claude AI envisions a climb to $10 by the end of 2025, with a stretch target of $15 in favourable market conditions.
Technical analyses suggest a bullish flag pattern from January to April, signalling strong upward momentum ahead.
In the past week, XRP has gained 8.2%, outperforming Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum within the same timeframe.
Bitcoin Cash ($BCH), a 2017 offshoot of Bitcoin addressing scalability concerns, is regaining momentum. Over the last week, BCH has increased by 1.6% to its present price of $508.
Claude AI predicts that BCH could rise to $800 by the New Year, although reclaiming its historic ATH of $3,785.82 from December 2017 appears unlikely in the near term. While Bitcoin transitions to a store-of-value narrative, BCH maintains its focus on being a rapid, scalable payment solution through larger block sizes. However, scalability enhancements have raised concerns about decentralisation as mining power consolidates. Since April, BCH has doubled in value, attributed partly to a noticeable falling wedge formation from late December to early March—often indicating upcoming price reversals to the upside.
Continued positive sentiment might see BCH challenging $600 resistance, with a potential rise to $700 before autumn. Surpassing these milestones could exceed Claude AI’s projections. Although BCH remains below its 2017 peak, a shift in investor focus towards efficient cross-border payment tokens like XRP and BCH could reignite its market significance, potentially doubling in value by year-end.
Key support levels are observed around $420 during market corrections, with $600 as the immediate resistance to monitor.
Launched in August 2020, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has swiftly emerged as a leading meme coin, boasting a market cap surpassing $7.1 billion. Trading at $0.00001202, SHIB has gained 5.1% over the past seven days, showing signs of breaking out from key technical patterns—a descending wedge from November to March and a bullish flag formed in mid-May. Immediate resistance is near $0.000022, with upward potential towards $0.00003. If bullish momentum continues, Claude AI anticipates SHIB could reach the $0.0001 zone by year-end—an eightfold increase from its current value.
SHIB’s evolution from a meme-based token to a utility-focused ecosystem supports this positive outlook. Leveraging its own Layer-2 solution, Shibarium, built on Ethereum, SHIB offers enhanced scalability with faster transactions, reduced fees, broader dApp integrations, and enhanced privacy features.
