Crypto progenitor Bitcoin surged to a historic price peak of $122,838 just over a fortnight ago, triggering a fresh wave of bullish sentiment among traders. Although it has since experienced a slight retracement of 4.2%, enthusiasm remains high, with many speculating that another breakout could be imminent as Bitcoin continues to hold strong near its top range.
The rapid rally in Bitcoin has also buoyed many top altcoins and leading meme coins. Over the past year, tokens such as XRP, TRON, Sui Network, Solana, Pepe, Trump, SPX6900, and FartCoin have notched new all-time highs, suggesting robust confidence in the broader market trajectory.
Currently, the total cryptocurrency market cap hovers around the $4 trillion mark. A 5.6% dip in the last 24 hours reflects a cooling-off period, hinting at consolidation after a stretch of sustained gains.
With growing expectations of a major bull market, investor focus is shifting toward cryptocurrency that could surpass their former price ceilings.
Ripple (XRP): Cross-Border Transactions Crypto Posts a Blistering Price Run This Year
On July 18, Ripple’s XRP achieved a new peak at $3.65, beating its 2018 high of $3.40. It now trades near $3.25—down 10.7% from its top but up 2.2% in the past 24 hours—indicating a period of consolidation.
XRP’s real-time settlements, ultra-low transaction costs, and ability to handle global transfers without intermediaries have made it an attractive choice for institutions. The token’s use by organizations like the United Nations underscores its credibility.
A major milestone occurred in 2023 when a U.S. court declared that XRP’s retail transactions did not fall under securities laws. By 2025, with regulatory battles behind it, XRP entered a more stable and attractive phase for institutional investors.
That clarity has translated into massive gains—XRP has surged more than 387% over the past year, far outperforming Bitcoin’s 77% growth during the same time frame.
Technical indicators show a cooling RSI, which fell from 86 last week to 56 now. Following a 42% rally on last month’s price—well ahead of Bitcoin’s 9% increase in thirty days—profit-taking is expected to lead to more short-term selling, potentially extending into the weekend. Still, this could offer a strong reentry point for buyers.
Over the past day, XRP has slipped 2.7%, and further softening is possible until the RSI reaches the neutral 50 mark and/or the price converges with its 30-day moving average. However, downside risk appears limited, with strong support near the former resistance level of $3.
XRP’s bullish flag formation, developed between late 2024 and early April, may foreshadow a rise toward the $4 level later in the year.
Solana ($SOL): Fast, Scalable Ethereum Contender Set for New Crypto Price Highs
Solana ($SOL) continues to cement its status as a premier smart contract platform, praised for blazing transaction speeds and minimal fees. With a market cap exceeding $95.4 billion and a TVL over $9.7 billion (per DeFiLlama), Solana has become a major player in the DeFi space.
Speculation is growing that Solana could be next in line for a spot ETF, following the approval of similar funds for Bitcoin and Ethereum. If greenlit, this could usher in substantial institutional capital and further validate Solana’s status as a top-tier blockchain.
Adding fuel to the narrative, President Donald Trump recently floated the idea of including Solana in a proposed U.S. Crypto Reserve, a concept that would involve holding seized assets from enforcement actions.
Price-wise, SOL has recovered from its April dip to $100, following its earlier surge to $250 in February. Currently priced at $179, it has climbed 18.3% over the past month.
Its RSI has cooled from 82 to 52, suggesting that while some profit-taking is underway, the coin remains in a healthy range. Support levels around $150 provide a buffer, and if SOL can breach key resistance at $200 and $250, the path may be clear to test its all-time high of $293.31—or potentially move beyond $300 by fall.
Pepe ($PEPE): Meme Coin Giant Set for a Comeback
Since debuting in April 2023, Pepe ($PEPE) has rapidly climbed into the top three meme coins by market cap, drawing on the viral power of its namesake frog from Matt Furie’s artwork.
Its meteoric rise has spawned many imitators, but none have matched its trajectory. With a peak valuation exceeding $4.7 billion and a brief stint as Elon Musk’s profile avatar, Pepe has become a cultural mainstay in the crypto meme space.
Currently valued at around $0.00001123, the coin has gained 16% in the past month but remains 60% off its all-time high of $0.00002803 set in late 2024. A falling wedge pattern formed earlier this year suggests a bullish reversal may be on the horizon.
Its RSI has eased to 42, indicating that a recent selloff cycle is almost coming to an end. This means Pepe’s price by the weekend could offer an attractive buying opportunity for both new entrants and bulls.
While the broader market declined by 5.7% to $3.92 trillion, Pepe has shown resilience with a 4% drop. This suggests that high-cap meme coins like PEPE are beginning to exhibit price behavior similar to blue-chip assets like Bitcoin and Solana.
As the market eyes a potential late-summer rally, Pepe holders remain optimistic that renewed momentum and improving macro conditions could spark a fresh upswing.
