With original crypto Bitcoin trading just 3.5% down from its recent all-time high (ATH) price of $122,838 just over two weeks ago, hopes are running high for a new bull run to eclipse the famous 2021 gold rush.
This prolonged period of optimism has helped drive growth among several prominent altcoins and some of the best meme coins. Over the past year, coins like XRP, TRON, Sui Network, Solana, Pepe, Trump, SPX6900, and FartCoin have each experienced historic price surges, indicating the possibility of a market-wide rally on the horizon.
As momentum builds for a prolonged bull cycle, investors are increasingly eyeing tokens with the potential to exceed their historical price ceilings.
On July 18, Ripple’s XRP token set a new record by reaching $3.65, breaking past its former 2018 high of $3.40.
Though it has since dipped to around $3.17 — a decrease of 13.2% from its peak — XRP remains up 43% over the past month. It appears to be stabilizing in a consolidation phase, but continued investor interest suggests another rally may be in the works.
XRP’s appeal among institutional investors is fueled by its fast transaction settlement, minimal fees, and cross-border utility without requiring intermediaries. Even organizations such as the United Nations have shown interest in the technology.
Following a lengthy legal battle, Ripple achieved a key win in 2023 when a U.S. court ruled that its retail transactions didn’t qualify as securities sales. By 2025, with the SEC concluding its case, this legal clarity will have further strengthened investor trust in the asset.
This favorable regulatory backdrop has resulted in strong capital inflows, contributing to a staggering 388% annual gain, far outpacing Bitcoin’s 79% increase over the same timeframe.
XRP’s RSI has decreased from an overheated 86 at the start of last week to a more moderate 54, indicating that some traders are taking profits. This shift may lead to additional short-term selling pressure into the weekend, creating an opportunity for strategic accumulation.
In the last 24 hours, XRP has added 1.8% going against the trend of the collective crypto market, which dipped 3.6% overnight to $3.97 trillion. While further downside is possible until the RSI nears a neutral 50, strong support appears to be forming around the previous resistance level of $3.
A bullish flag pattern that formed from late 2024 to early April points to the potential for another breakout — possibly sending XRP to $4 by fall.
Cardano ($ADA) has gained renewed traction, jumping 39% over the past month. This rise is supported by bullish technical signs and growing institutional interest. Alongside XRP and Solana, ADA was mentioned by President Donald Trump as a candidate for inclusion in a proposed national crypto reserve.
Created in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is known for its academically driven development model and sustainable Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus — a concept that influenced Ethereum’s transition away from energy-intensive mining.
Currently capitalizing over $28.4 billion of the market, ADA would need to more than triple in price to surpass Solana and claim the title of Ethereum’s top challenger.
Overnight, ADA has advanced 2%, outperforming Bitcoin’s 0.2% gains and displaying a robustness similar to that of XRP
Many analysts see a move from the current price of $0.7876 toward $1.50 by mid-year. More optimistic projections forecast a potential return to ADA’s all-time high of $3.09 from September 2021 — a nearly 300% increase from current levels.
Recent price action has revealed a bullish flag pattern, indicating further gains. However, ADA’s RSI has cooled from a recent peak of 85 to 54, showing signs of steady profit-taking while again mirroring XRP’s trajectory. Taken altogether, this hints at the potential for a lot more ADA bullishness before the New Year.
The next big resistance level is near $1.15, while solid support is holding between $0.85 and $0.90.
Pi Network is shaking up traditional crypto mining with its user-friendly tap-to-mine system, which removes the need for expensive hardware and high electricity consumption.
Unlike conventional models, Pi allows users to earn tokens through daily engagement via its mobile app — dramatically reducing entry barriers for new participants.
Since the launch of its mainnet in February 2025, Pi Network has seen explosive adoption. In early May, its native token $PI rocketed 171% in just four days — from $0.58 to $1.57 — showing surging demand from both retail and institutional buyers. It currently trades at approximately $0.42.
With the RSI now at 35 and trending downward, the token appears to be in the midst of a selloff that could further depress its price in the short term.
This downturn, however, may present a strategic buying opportunity for those confident in Pi Network’s long-term potential. A pronounced falling wedge pattern observed between March and April hints at a possible breakout, so if traders are bullish on Pi and keen to take advantage of its relatively discounted price, we could see $PI hit $3 by fall.
Thanks to its streamlined interface and purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain, Pi Network is establishing itself as a serious contender in the next phase of global crypto adoption.
For those seeking early-stage projects with outsized return potential, new token launches often offer the most explosive growth.
