Bitcoin seen as crypto market proxy, not digital gold, Swiss crypto bank says

Pepe, the third-biggest meme coin, has been in freefall since December, but two chart patterns point to a strong rebound soon.  Pepe (PEPE) jumped to a record high of $0.00002833 in December before crashing by over 80% this month. This retreat has mirrored the performance of other meme coins, whose prices have dropped by double digits from their 2024 highs. Pepe price has formed a falling wedge and a double bottom 技术面表明，佩佩可能在未来几天或几周内迎来强劲看涨突破。 日线图显示，该股已形成下跌楔形，这是一种常见的反转形态。该形态由两条下降和汇聚的趋势线组成。该楔形的上侧连接自去年 12 月以来的最高波动，而下侧连接自去年 11 月以来的最低点。 Pepe 的价格也形成了一个巨大的双底形态，价格为 0.0000060 美元。双底由两个下摆和一个颈线组成，在本例中，颈线为 0.00002830 美元，代表其历史最高价。双顶水平也与 Murrey Math Lines 工具的强枢轴和反转点相吻合。 相对强弱指数持续上涨，刚刚越过连接自 1 月以来最高波动的下降趋势线，这表明它已经完成了看涨交叉模式。 因此，Pepe 币价格可能会出现强劲的看涨突破，下一个目标是 0.00002095 美元，这是 1 月 19 日的最高波动，比当前水平高出约 220%。 跌破关键支撑位 0.000002980 美元（Murrey 数学线的弱止损点和反转点）的看跌突破将使看涨观点失效。 Pepe 价格图表 | 来源：crypto.news 你可能还喜欢：在最近的 50 倍 ETH 清算事件后，Hyperliquid 将调整 BTC 和 ETH 的杠杆限制 Pepe 币的潜在催化剂 Pepe has several potential catalysts that may push it higher in the coming weeks. First, the US published encouraging consumer inflation data. The report showed that the headline Consumer Price Index dropped from 3% to 2.8%. Core inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy prices, fell from 3.3% to 3.2%. US CPI was softer than the consensus forecasts, with monthly inflation at 0.2% for both core and headline (versus the expected 0.3%) and annual inflation at 3.1% and 2.8% (3.2% and 2.9%).Regarding the components, travel-related items were soft, partially offset by coffee and…— Mohamed A. El-Erian (@elerianm) March 12, 2025 Second, Pepe’s futures open interest has risen in the past few days. It rose to $198 million on Wednesday, its highest level since March 7. The open interest remains much lower than the year-to-date high of $556 million. Historically, big price gains start when the open interest is low.

Pi Network price surged in a high-volume environment on Friday, mirroring the broader crypto market rally driven by Bitcoin and major altcoins. Pi Coin (PI) token surged to an intraday high of $0.78 on Friday, its highest point since April 12, and 41% above its lowest level this month. The 24-hour volume soared by 170% to $353 million.  Two broader factors drove this rally. First, it surged as Bitcoin (BTC) and most altcoins soared, pushing the total crypto market cap to over $3.25 trillion. This surge was because of the ongoing Bitcoin accumulation and the rising hopes of trade deals between the US and other countries.  Second, the Pi Network community is anticipating a major ecosystem announcement next week. The timing aligns with the Consensus event in Toronto, where Pi Network’s founder Nikkolas Kokkalis is scheduled to speak. A Pi ecosystem announcement will be released on May 14. Tune in to find out what's coming next! pic.twitter.com/5jn7m5mlmD— Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) May 7, 2025 This announcement could be a partnership with a large company, an ecosystem fund to incentivize developers, an exchange listing, or a token burn.  Rumors of a token burn gained traction after on-chain data revealed a transfer of 84 million PI tokens to an unspecified address.Some analysts suggest these tokens may have been moved to provide liquidity for a potential exchange listing.

For example, the Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) price jumped by double digits on Friday after it was listed on Upbit, a top South Korean exchange. A token burn would also lead to a parabolic move because it would offset the ongoing token unlocks. Data shows that over 1.45 billion Pi coins will be unlocked in the next twelve months, diluting existing holders. These unlocks have led to higher supplies and contributed to the recent crash.  Pi Network price analysis Pi price chart | Source: crypto.news The ongoing Pi Coin price surge is in line with what we predicted here and here.In those articles, we pointed to the narrowing spread of the three Bollinger Bands lines, and that it was in the accumulation phase of the Wyckoff Theory. On the 8-hour chart, Pi Coin bottomed at $0.5577 on April 29 before rallying to $0.7810 on Friday. This pattern has formed a cup-and-handle structure, a widely followed bullish continuation pattern. The depth of the cup is approximately 30%. A measured move from the breakout point suggests a potential upside target of $1.10, a 41% rally from current levels. This move could materialize ahead of the expected announcement on May 14. You might also like:A 90-year-old theory suggests the Pi Network price may surge soon
