Pepe Token Generates More Social Mentions Than Bitcoin and Ethereum Combined, But Traders Caution Resistance Levels as Shorting Opportunities

Pepe Token, a recently launched meme cryptocurrency, has generated more social media mentions in the past 30 days than Bitcoin and Ethereum combined, according to data from LunarCrush. However, the increased social activity does not necessarily equate to fundamental value or market performance, and traders caution that resistance levels on the token's chart could present shorting opportunities. Market analyst Michaël van de Poppe suggests that every block of resistance could potentially be an area to short the market, and advises shorting the token until it reaches support levels at $0.00000147, $0.00000115, or even as low as $0.00000085. Despite its extraordinary growth, some experts believe that Pepe Token is a scam.

  • 10x Research: Crypto mining stocks may rise further, but it is recommended to invest in the bullish trend of Bitcoin

    According to a report by 10x Research titled "The Escalating Bitcoin Mining War - How to Participate?", Bitfarms is believed to be the primary beneficiary of the ongoing consolidation in the Bitcoin mining industry. While stocks of cryptocurrency mining companies like Bitfarms may continue to rise, it is more favorable to invest in the potential bullish trend of Bitcoin. Despite MicroStrategy's announcement of a proposed private placement of $500 million in convertible senior notes to purchase more Bitcoin, the market reaction has been relatively calm compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, when these news led to a significant increase in retail speculation and funding rates.
  • Bitcoin L2 Stacks was down for nearly 9 hours yesterday due to Bitcoin reorganization and unexpected miner behavior

    Bitcoin's L2 expansion network, Stacks, experienced downtime on Friday, stopping block production for nearly 9 hours. This event was caused by Bitcoin reorganization (reorg) and "unexpected miner behavior," causing STX prices to drop 12% that day. "Unexpected miner behavior" may refer to miners not updating their software or coordinating effectively to respond to Bitcoin reorg, causing block production delays and implying technical or operational issues among miners. Stacks co-founder Muneeb Ali pointed out that the upcoming Nakamoto upgrade focuses on a new consensus mechanism aimed at eliminating the possibility of forks and reducing the impact of Bitcoin reorg. The Nakamoto upgrade was originally expected to be launched in late spring, but due to potential issues being too severe to be resolved in subsequent updates, it was postponed at the last minute and is now planned to be released in August.
