Elon Musk's AI Has an Urgent Warning for XRP Holders
In a recent video shared on X, Levi Rietveld of Crypto Crusaders revealed a critical forecast from Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence platform, Grok, specifically directed at XRP holders
The AI issued an “urgent warning” about the current bull market, highlighting a potential cycle top in the coming months based on a convergence of historical trends, macroeconomic indicators, and Federal Reserve policy decisions.
Grok’s Forecast
Levi began by explaining the basis of his inquiry to Grok, asking the AI to analyze previous Bitcoin halving cycles alongside key geopolitical and economic factors. Grok responded with a detailed timeline, noting that Bitcoin historically peaks 12 to 18 months after each halving
Bitcoin’s past halvings have been followed by major price tops: the 2012 halving to the November 2013 peak, the 2016 halving to the December 2017 peak, and the 2020 halving to the November 2021 peak. Applying this pattern to the most recent halving in April 2024, Grok estimates a potential peak window between April and October 2025.

However, based on current conditions and anticipated policy shifts, Grok narrowed this estimate further. The AI predicts the cryptocurrency market will reach its peak sometime between July 1 and September 30, 2025
This updated forecast incorporates the possible impact of upcoming rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, global liquidity levels, and investor behavior leading into a distribution phase. Levi stressed the importance of this forecast, stating, “I think this is crucial… this is its synthesis and estimate.”
The Role of the Federal Reserve and Interest Rates
A significant part of Grok’s prediction rests on monetary policy. As of June 2025, the U.S. federal funds rate remains steady at 4.25% to 4.50%, following a 25 basis point (0.25%) rate cut in December 2024. Investors and policymakers alike are anticipating further rate reductions, possibly in July and September 2025
Levi noted that Grok, while limited in some real-time data, integrates historical responses to rate changes. For example, the Fed’s rapid rate hikes from 0% to 4.5% in 2022 triggered a severe crypto bear market, wiping 78% off Bitcoin’s value.
Now, the potential for rate cuts could drive renewed investor confidence. Levi added, “Trump is fully aware that the midterm elections ride very heavily on strong market performance,” suggesting that political pressure may force the Fed’s hand. If rates are cut as expected, Grok’s July–September 2025 window remains intact.
Alternative Scenario
To further test the forecast, Levi asked Grok what would happen if the Fed delays further easing until Q4 2025 and continues into Q1 2026. In this scenario, Grok projects a market top between January 1st and March 31st, 2026, pointing to a “cycle extension due to the Fed’s monetary policy and growing M2 during this period.”
However, Levi expressed skepticism that other economies, such as China and the EU, can continue quantitative easing, noting their limited fiscal space. “Everybody starts waiting for the United States to start lowering those rates,” he said, reinforcing his belief that the Fed remains the primary driver of market liquidity.
XRP Technical Outlook and Investor Strategy
While the macro environment remains uncertain, Levi views current price levels as a favorable opportunity for XRP investors. “The stochastic RSI for XRP… is currently in the oversold category,” he said, suggesting that a short-term rally is likely. With XRP and Bitcoin hovering near major support levels, Levi disclosed that he has added to his futures position, anticipating another leg upward.
Market Peak Depends on Fed Action
Ultimately, Grok’s warning is grounded in data but shaped by uncertainty. If the Fed initiates rate cuts in the coming months, XRP and the broader market may peak between July and September 2025
If delays occur, that top could shift to early 2026. For XRP holders, timing entries and exits around these macroeconomic shifts could prove decisive in navigating this cycle successfully.
