Bitcoin and Solana have emerged as top performers as crypto majors and meme tokens strive to recover. While investors shift to Bitcoin for its stability, Solana has become a key player in DEX trading.
At the same time, investors are on the look out for fresh projects with robust growth potential. PepeX, which has emerged as one of the top meme ICOs to watch out for in 2025, offers its holders an irresistible opportunity to rake in hefty gains during its presale and beyond. Its infrastructure seeks to restore transparency, fairness, and accessibility in the meme crypto space.
Bitcoin heightened dominance paves the way to $90,000
Bitcoin price began the new week on a high; rallying to a three-week high in early Monday session. Since hitting a five-month low two weeks ago, the crypto major has rebounded by about 17%. At the time of writing, it was trading at $87,488.
Despite the persistent economic uncertainties, bulls are optimistic that Bitcoin price will soon retest the crucial zone of $90,000. CoinGecko’s 2025 Q1 crypto industry report showed that despite the drop in investor activity, Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency space hit a level last recorded in early 2021 at 59.1%.
Having rebounded past the 25 and 50-day EMAs, the bulls have an opportunity to retest the crucial support-turn-resistance zone of $90,000. However, the bulls will need to gather enough momentum to break the immediate-term resistance at $89,075. On the lower side, $82,959 is set to offer steady support to Bitcoin price.
PepeX maintains upward momentum as it restores integrity in the meme crypto space
AI-related cryptocurrencies have captured investors’ attention as they look past the majors for projects with robust growth potential. In the past 24 hours, AI meme market cap rose by 6.5% to $2.34 billion.
Notably, most of these fresh projects are moving past meme jokes to offer solutions to existing challenges within the crypto space. PepeX is one such crypto. As the world’s first AI-powered tokenization launchpad, it seeks to solve the persistent issues of security, fairness, and transparency. Indeed, it comes at an opportune time and investors are taking note of it.
In the recent past, platforms like Pump.fun have allowed pump-and-dump schemes that saw investors lose hefty amounts of money. To solve this issue, PepeX has integrated anti-sniping tools and a bubble map tool to discourage early dumping and any shady launches. Besides, the creators’ holdings are capped at 5% of the total supply, which they could lose to its community should the project fail.
This one-of-a-kind infrastructure has attracted the attention of meme coin enthusiasts, enabling it to raise over $1.4 million just four weeks into its presale. In addition to its real-world use case and subsequent growth potential, early adopters have an opportunity to rake in huge gains during the 30-stage presale.
With every three-day stage, the token price increases by 5%. What started at $0.02 is currently at $0.0243 and is set to rally further to $0.0823 before the token hits the public shelves in Q3. Read more on how to buy PepeX.
Solana dominance in DEX trading fuels recovery
In the recent months, altcoins and meme coins have been under selling pressure. However, as the assets find their footing, Solana has emerged as one of the top performers.
Notably, its dominance in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space has fueled its recovery. As highlighted by CoinGecko, Solana dominated DEX trades at a rate of 39.6% in Q1’25.
A look at its daily chart shows Solana price trading above the 25 and 50-day EMAs. In the short term, I expect $126.90 to be a steady support zone as the bulls strive to break the resistance at $144.50. If successful, the next target will be at $155.
