Despite the optimism and steady fundamentals that continue to buoy cryptocurrencies, majors like Bitcoin and Cardano remain range-bound. Even so, revolutionary projects founded on the ultra-popular meme culture are thriving. Among the fresh entities worth watching is Bitcoin Pepe.

The meme project’s growth potential and subsequent FOMO is unmatched. In just the first 90 seconds of its presale, it has already sold out its stage 1. The one-of-a-kind project has maintained that momentum and is currently at stage 4. With 26 more stages to go before its launch in Q2’25, this is the ideal opportunity for savvy investors to amass some BPEP tokens. 

Bitcoin’s anticipated breakout is on the horizon

Bitcoin price is still in a tight range even as the bulls remain in control. After hitting a fresh record high in late January 2025, the crypto major is back to the consolidation phase that has been in place since November 2024. 

As seen on Binance, the crypto fear & greed index is at a neutral level of 50, indicating that investors are on the sidelines. Even so, the support zone of $90,000 will likely remain steady in the short to medium term.

In the absence of a major near-term catalyst, the range between $93,365 and $98,381 is worth watching. Infact, the range’s upper limit is the point of convergence for the 25 and 50-day EMAs. The confirmation of a golden cross, occurring when the short-term MA crosses the medium-term one to the upside, will likely bolster the crypto to the upper resistance level of $101,549.

Bitcoin Pepe price to surge by over 300% before Q2’s launch

All fundamentals point to Bitcoin Pepe being one of the fastest-growing ICOs in 2025. As the first meme ICO on Bitcoin’s network, it has brought the much-needed layer of meme culture to the leading crypto. 

As seen on its website, its mission is to build “Solana on Bitcoin”. It is this unique amalgamation that has crypto enthusiasts rushing to amass some BPEP tokens before the price skyrockets. Based on its robust growth potential, the current price of $0.0243 may be the lowest for the meme coin going forward. 

 In about one week, it has already raised over $2.5 million with stage 3 being sold out. As part of this stage model, the token price increases by 5% with each stage. This means that the early adopters who jumped on this opportunity at stage 1 when it was at $0.021 have already made considerable gains. 

At the end of the 30 stages, BPEP price will have increased by 311.4% to $0.0864. Even before hitting the public shelves, its holders will be sitting on hefty profits. Read more on how to buy Bitcoin Pepe.

Cardano bulls to wait longer for the highly anticipated breakout

Entering into 2025, Cardano was one of the crypto majors expected to benefit from the highly anticipated bull run. Indeed, this thesis was substantiated by the altcoin’s rallying past the psychologically crucial mark of $1 in early January.

However, with the recent tech selloff, Cardano price has dropped by over 30% within one month. Even so, the crypto’s fundamentals remain steady. In addition to the optimism observed across the crypto market, hype over the possible approval of Grayscale’s Cardano ETF is set to support the altcoin.

Based on this bullish thesis, Cardano price will likely remain above the crucial support zone of $0.7005. On the upside, the sustained death cross points to the continuation of range-bound trading. 

The bulls will need to gather enough momentum to break the resistance at $0.8341. In the absence of a major bullish catalyst, a price increase past that resistance level will still encounter a short-term ceiling at $0.8875.
