Traders are piling back into top cryptos as a fresh wave of bullish momentum lights up the market. Overnight, total crypto market cap surged to $3.2 trillion.
Leading the charge? Meme coins. The high-voltage sector exploded 8.2% in 24 hours, pushing its total valuation to a staggering $60.9 billion – and signaling that the next big breakout could already be underway.
Here are three top meme projects trading under $1 that may be due for a significant surge this year.
Dogecoin ($DOGE): A Potential Breakout Ahead for the Original Meme Coin
Dogecoin ($DOGE) remains the dominant meme coin in the cryptoverse, boasting a market cap of $27.4 billion that cements its status as the pioneer of this niche.
Created in 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a lighthearted parody, DOGE has since evolved into one of the most recognizable cryptocurrencies worldwide.
Dogecoin is so big, its prices movement often mirrors Bitcoin’s trends, providing a degree of stability and predictability not found in many meme coins.
Currently, DOGE is trading around $0.1836 after rallying 5.7% in the last 24 hours. As with several other leading cryptos, traders are seeing it break out of a descending wedge pattern — a well-known bullish reversal formation characterized by converging downward-sloping support and resistance lines from November through April.
Optimistic investors are watching for potential rallies in May, targeting a climb toward $0.48 — implying a possible 161% gain from its current price.
Adoption remains a key driver. Tesla still accepts DOGE for select purchases, while platforms like PayPal and Revolut have integrated DOGE into their offerings, signaling growing real-world use.
Pepe ($PEPE): The Internet’s Beloved Frog Captures Investor Attention
Inspired by Matt Furie’s iconic Pepe the Frog character, Pepe ($PEPE) secured a spot among the top three meme coins by November 2024 — and has maintained its position ever since.
Launched in April 2023, $PEPE sparked a wave of imitators, though none have matched its staying power or iconic status.
Investor excitement spiked recently after Elon Musk hinted via tweet that he holds $PEPE, fueling speculation about it potentially being his next crypto endorsement.
Currently priced at $0.00000915 after an 11.5% overnight climb that took it to a with a $3.8 billion market capitalization, $PEPE comfortably holds the title of the largest non-dog-themed meme token.
Similar to Dogecoin, technical analysis suggests $PEPE is nearing a breakout from a descending wedge — a bullish pattern that can precede sharp price movements.
A confirmed breakout could propel the token toward the $0.000012 resistance zone — a historically significant price level for $PEPE.
Even though $PEPE is currently trading 67.5% below its all-time high of $0.00002803 (recorded on December 9, 2024), a bullish market resurgence could help the token regain lost ground and potentially set new records.
