Perplexity’s AI-powered ChatGPT rival, Perplexity AI, has released a fresh set of highly volatile projections for Pi Network, Bitcoin, and Solana as the month draws to a close. The model suggests that all three cryptocurrencies face the potential for sharp price moves in either direction over the coming weeks.
Below is a breakdown of Perplexity’s two-sided outlook, highlighting both bullish and bearish price scenarios for each asset through the end of December.
Pi Network (PI): Perplexity Says Pi Could Either Explode 1,300% Higher or Continue Downward Trajectory
Pi Network ($PI), best known for its mobile-based mining model that rewards daily engagement, has remained surprisingly resilient amid broader crypto market weakness. The PI token is currently trading around $0.2031, marking a 3.2% gain over the past 24 hours, while major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, XRP, and Bitcoin have each declined by more than 5% during the same period.

Conversely, under strong bullish conditions in December, PI could surge toward $2.80, representing a potential upside of more than 1,279% from current levels.
After months of steady decline, November appears to have brought relative stability. PI has recently outperformed larger-cap assets following Pi Network’s announcement of a partnership with AI firm OpenMind. The collaboration highlights how Pi node operators can provide decentralized computing power to third-party organizations, demonstrating a real-world use case for the network.
Additional momentum comes from recent Pi testnet upgrades, including decentralized exchange functionality, automated market makers, enhanced liquidity tools, and a revamped KYC system, all of which significantly broaden the ecosystem’s scope.
Bitcoin (BTC): Perplexity Targets $230,000 Upside or a Drop Toward $70,000
Bitcoin ($BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, reached a new all-time high of $126,080 on October 6. Looking further ahead, Perplexity’s longer-term forecast places BTC as high as $200,000 by 2026.
Often compared to digital gold, Bitcoin continues to attract both institutional and retail capital as investors seek protection against macroeconomic uncertainty. BTC now represents over $1.7 trillion of the total crypto market value, which stands at approximately $3.05 trillion.
With inflation easing and sentiment improving ahead of the holiday season, Bitcoin could attempt another push toward recent highs. The Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate cut may also inject additional liquidity into markets, supporting demand through December.
On the downside, Perplexity cautions that intensified selling pressure could send BTC back toward $70,000, potentially signaling the onset of a deeper, extended crypto downturn stretching into 2026.
Despite this risk, the AI’s bullish $200,000 target remains achievable, if ambitious, particularly if U.S. lawmakers make like Santa and deliver comprehensive crypto regulations and the promised U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Solana (SOL): Perplexity Warns of a Drop to $30 or a 450% Surge
Solana ($SOL) stands out as one of the most active blockchain ecosystems heading into 2025, with around $9 billion in total value locked and a market capitalization exceeding $72.5 billion. Developer activity and network adoption continue to grow at a rapid pace.
Recently launched Solana ETFs from Bitwise and Grayscale have sparked renewed investor interest, with many anticipating demand patterns similar to the early days of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
SOL held its value in spite of a slight market dip and currently trades at $128.60. If bullish momentum accelerates, Perplexity projects a possible 273% rally toward $480, nearly double its previous all-time high of $293 set in January.
On the bearish side, the AI model suggests Solana could fall to $120 within a month, representing tiny losses of 7% for current holders.
SOL previously climbed to $250 in January before pulling back to near $100 in April. While still well below recent peaks, technical indicators suggest the token may be breaking out of a bullish flag formation.
Increasing institutional interest in real-world asset tokenization, led by firms such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton building on Solana, strengthens the case for Perplexity’s optimistic outlook.
Maxi Doge (MAXI): The Meme Coin Perplexity Didn’t Factor In
While Perplexity AI focuses on established cryptocurrencies, early-stage presale projects often offer far greater upside potential. One such project gaining momentum is Maxi Doge ($MAXI), which has already raised nearly $4.4 million as it positions itself as a potential successor to Dogecoin.
MAXI revolves around the persona of Maxi Doge, a hyperactive crypto degenerate and distant cousin of the original Dogecoin mascot. The project fully embraces meme culture, depicting Maxi as obsessed with extreme leverage trading, heavy lifting, and building a fiercely loyal MAXI DOGE community.
Launched as an ERC-20 token, MAXI runs on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, offering improved energy efficiency and access to one of crypto’s largest developer ecosystems, advantages that Dogecoin’s older proof-of-work model lacks.
The MAXI presale currently features staking rewards of up to 71% APY, although returns are designed to decline as more participants join.
MAXI is priced at $0.0002735 in the current presale phase, with automatic price increases scheduled for future rounds. Tokens can be purchased using MetaMask or Best Wallet.
Dogecoin stands no chance!
