Leading AI Claude Predicts the Price of XRP, Bitcoin and Ethereum by the end of May 2026

Anthropic’s Claude AI has issued a fresh set of price predicts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, and the numbers are drawing sharp debate across crypto trading communities.

Claude’s bear case puts XRP price at $1.80 by late May 2026, aligning with Gemini’s forecast and sitting above ChatGPT’s $2.05.

For Ethereum, Claude eyes $2,800 in a bull scenario after a confirmed break above $2,400 resistance.

For Bitcoin, even the bear target is a breakout above $82,000 which is very bullish if you ask me.

Its clear that Claude dosen’t believe in “Sell in May and go away” theory so that’s something to conclude.

The FOMC meeting today adds a macro overlay: rate expectations are firmly on hold, which removes a near-term catalyst but also limits downside shock risk.

All three assets are consolidating. The question is what breaks the range.

Bitcoin is holding $77K. As long as that level holds, the structure stays neutral and opens a move toward $78.2K–$78.7K. If it reclaims that zone with volume, $80K comes back into play.

More likely for now, it just ranges before the FOMC decision. Lose $77K and it quickly exposes $75K.

ETH is following BTC. $2,300 is the level that matters. Hold it and a push toward $2,350 is likely. Lose it and price drifts toward $2,250. Direction here depends on Bitcoin first, not ETH itself.

XRP is the most sensitive setup. Sitting around $1.40, it needs a weekly close above $1.67 to confirm a real breakout. If it fails, it likely retests $1.35–$1.38, with $1.28 as the deeper risk level.

Across all three, the pattern is the same, key supports are holding, but none of them have confirmed momentum yet. The next move depends on whether buyers step in with volume or step aside.

BTC, ETH, and XRP are all stuck under resistance, and while upside is there, it depends on macro and inflows showing up. Until that happens, moves stay limited and slow.

That is usually when capital starts rotating toward earlier-stage setups, where the upside is not already priced in and does not require massive inflows to move.

LiquidChain is aiming at that space, focusing on cross-chain liquidity by connecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana into a single execution layer. The idea is to remove fragmentation so assets and users can interact across ecosystems more efficiently.

The presale is still early, around $0.01454 with just over $700K raised, which puts it in the early discovery phase rather than a fully priced asset.

But it is also unproven. Execution, adoption, and liquidity after launch are still unknown, which is the trade-off with early-stage infrastructure.

So the contrast is clear, large caps offer more stability with conditional upside, while something like LiquidChain offers earlier positioning with higher potential, but also higher risk.
