• Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) price was down 5% in 24 hours amid fresh profit taking.
• Analyst Captain Faibik says the memcoin could drop 50% amid a bearish impulse.
• Price faces key hurdle around $1.45 and $1.60, and support at $1.2

Several top memecoins, including Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe were down on Wednesday morning.

Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), which has outperformed in recent months, mirrored the broader memecoin market trajectory with its price down 5%.

Losses for the cryptocurrency cut recent gains to just 5% over the past week and 14% over the past month.

However, gains over the past year are staggering in the last one year.

The token currently trades around $1.35.

With Bitcoin still ranged near $110k and seeing notable bullish news developments, the anticipated influx of retail into altcoins remains on hold.

FARTCOIN’s price is mapping this outlook with the 24-hour trading volume spiking 12% to over $150 million to suggest increased selling.

Amid this performance, an analyst says bears could push bulls deep into the woods.

The FARTCOIN price is slightly down from highs of $1.6 reached last week, but Captain Faibik says a 50% dip is likely.

Fartcoin price – analyst flags potential 50% dip

Per Captain Faibik, in a post on X, FARTCOIN has traded in a rising wedge.

However, it signals further downside breakout as the bearish impulse intensifies.

If this scenario plays out, FARTCOIN price could crash by more than 50% from current levels.

From a technical perspective, this assessment aligns with FARTCOIN’s failure to breach the supply wall near $1.6 in recent trades.

This rejection has bears poised at $1.30, a key zone for bulls, with the above analyst’s prediction likely if this level breaks.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Awesome Oscillator signal bearish momentum.

Weakness for Fartcoin comes amid notable selling.

On May 27, Lookonchain shared details showing a trader liquidated $11.7 million in FARTCOIN and other tokens.

As well as a $6 million profit on FARTCOIN, the trader took profits of $3.3 million on ZEREBRO and $1.8 million on LAUNCHCOIN.

If Fartcoin price successfully retests the falling wedge trendline, an upside flip could see buyers target $1.8 and $2.

However, a breakdown to the key demand reload zone around $1.30, further weakness will bring $1.2 into view.

This fall will intensify if profit taking continues to dominate memecoins and altcoins.

Fresh jitters across risk assets will also accelerate the possible pullback, with dips for mega cap alts like Ethereum, XRP and Solana scenarios to watch.

The upside of this will be a return to winning ways for FARTCOIN and other memecoins.

• Cardano (ADA) has entered into a consolidation phase as the ETF decision deadline approaches.
• ADA on-chain activity and whale accumulation remain strong.
• ADA price hinges on ETF outcome, with key support at $0.72.

Cardano price remains in a state of prolonged consolidation as the market eagerly awaits the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) imminent decision on a spot Cardano exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Despite a 9% price surge earlier in May, ADA’s current pullback and sideways movement have cast uncertainty over its next move, especially as it trades near a critical support zone.

Contrasting on-chain metrics and technical signals

At the time of writing, ADA is hovering around $0.74, down approximately 2% in the past 24 hours, reflecting a noticeable decline in short-term momentum.

Nevertheless, the broader picture tells a story of increased investor interest and heightened on-chain activity, driven primarily by optimism surrounding the potential approval of the Grayscale ADA ETF.

As anticipation builds, the Cardano network has witnessed a marked spike in daily transactions, climbing from under 30,000 to nearly 50,000 in just a few weeks.

This growing activity on-chain has also been mirrored by an uptick in Cardano’s transaction volume, which reached an impressive $684.6 million within the past 24 hours.

At the same time, investor sentiment remains mixed, with Open Interest in ADA derivatives rising above $945 million while the funding rate dropped sharply, indicating cautious positioning among leveraged traders.

Furthermore, technical signals continue to flash warning signs as ADA trades within a triangle pattern, suggesting a potential breakout or breakdown as price volatility tightens near the apex.

Notably, the MACD crossover and the bearish histogram, signals the potential of a breakdown rather than a breakout.

Cardano price forecast

Going by the technical Cardano price analysis, close below the 200-day EMA, currently around $0.72, could trigger a more pronounced decline toward the $0.64 level, which last served as support in early May.

However, should ADA defy the bears and close above the $0.84 resistance, a run towards the $1.12 level, last seen in December, could quickly materialise.

Adding to the intrigue is the recent launch of Bitcoin DeFi on the Cardano blockchain, a development that has further expanded the network’s utility and may help sustain investor interest beyond the ETF hype.

Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s founder, has celebrated the integration as a milestone in blockchain interoperability, emphasising the network’s capacity to bridge Bitcoin’s security with Cardano’s advanced smart contracts.

With Bitcoin holders now able to participate in lending, borrowing, and yield farming directly on Cardano, the ecosystem is expected to attract more liquidity and a broader user base in the coming months.

Even so, the number of active Cardano investors has recently declined, with data from Artemis showing a steep drop from over 60,000 to just above 20,000 addresses, raising concerns about waning participation.

This decrease in active users coincides with bearish indicators in the futures market, including a Taker Buy/Sell Ratio below 1, which underscores prevailing sell pressure.

However, spot market activity remains somewhat supportive, as substantial ADA outflows from exchanges point to growing accumulation and long-term holding among retail and whale investors alike.

In fact, over $57 million worth of ADA has left centralised platforms over the past week, marking the largest net outflow since early March and hinting at strengthening bullish conviction.

Still, ADA finds itself wedged between significant liquidity levels near $0.74 and $0.78, creating a narrow range in which the next decisive price move could swing dramatically in either direction.

As the May 29 SEC deadline approaches, the market appears to be at a crossroads, with either approval or delay likely to determine ADA’s short-term trajectory.

If the ETF is approved, Cardano could quickly challenge the psychological $1 resistance, particularly as whales continue to accumulate and developers ramp up activity on-chain.

However, a rejection or further delay may reverse recent transaction gains and reintroduce selling pressure, especially in the absence of immediate bullish catalysts.

Ultimately, Cardano’s future now hinges on both regulatory clarity and its ability to convert heightened interest into sustained ecosystem growth.

• Attention among retail participants is shifting to emerging narratives like Bitcoin Pepe, which is in the final stretch of its presale.
• With only three days left until the presale closes on May 31, 2025, the project is attracting considerable attention.
• Bitcoin Pepe has already raised more than $11.7 million in its ongoing presale, with BPEP tokens priced at $0.0377.

The total crypto market capitalisation has declined by 0.8% over the past 24 hours to $3.43 trillion, staying below the intraday peak of $3.49 trillion seen on Tuesday and last Friday’s high of $3.54 trillion.

This pullback stands out, particularly against the backdrop of rising risk appetite in equity markets over the last two sessions, pointing to a more cautious sentiment within the crypto space.

Bitcoin has remained range-bound since May 22, fluctuating between $106,600 and $111,700. It is currently trading near the $108,000 mark.

With BTC consolidating and some investors locking in profits from recent gains, attention among retail participants is shifting to emerging narratives like Bitcoin Pepe, which is in the final stretch of its presale.

Bitcoin’s increased stability, declining volatility, and growing institutional presence have made it less appealing to traders seeking aggressive upside.

By contrast, speculative capital is moving toward assets such as Bitcoin Pepe, as traders look to capitalise on early-stage tokens with the potential for large returns.

BTC looks to break through

   BTC price has “broken out of the triangle pattern and is moving upward,” but a key resistance level is at $110,000, said analyst and trader BitMonty in his latest Bitcoin analysis on X.

Over the past few days, Bitcoin bulls have made two unsuccessful attempts to break above the resistance at $110,000.

The trader pointed out that a breakout above this level could propel BTC to new all-time highs.

For market intelligence firm Santiment, failure to grow past the $110,000 level has led to waning enthusiasm among traders.

Traders are showing a bit of FOMO as Bitcoin’s price ranges around $110,000, but the “euphoria has calmed down a bit,” the firm explained in an X post, adding:

“With markets moving in the opposite direction of retailers’ expectations, we may continue to see some reasonable doubt.”

Bitcoin Pepe presale closes soon

While Bitcoin remains stable, its recent climb to fresh highs is once again lifting overall market sentiment — a trend that has often preceded broader rallies in the crypto space.

As capital rotates back into digital assets, speculative segments like meme coins are drawing renewed attention from investors.

At the forefront of this shift is Bitcoin Pepe.

Positioned as the first meme-focused Layer 2 built on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Pepe aims to combine the cultural pull of memes with tangible blockchain functionality.

It seeks to leverage Bitcoin’s security while offering scalability on par with networks like Solana — a technical distinction that sets it apart from most meme tokens, which tend to lack real infrastructure.

To support its Layer 2 ambitions, the project has secured several strategic partnerships.

These include Super Meme and Plena Finance. Additionally, a partnership with the GETE Network could extend Bitcoin Pepe’s reach into the cross-chain Web3 gaming space.

The initiative reflects a clear attempt to couple real-world utility with viral meme appeal — a mix that could resonate well in today’s market.

Investor interest appears to be matching the momentum. Bitcoin Pepe has already raised more than $11.7 million in its ongoing presale, with BPEP tokens priced at $0.0377.

With only three days left until the presale closes on May 31, 2025, the project is attracting considerable attention.

A listing on centralized exchanges is expected shortly after, which could act as a near-term catalyst for price movement.

• Contracts sized at 2,500 and 50,000 XRP offer flexibility for traders.
• Based on CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate, published daily at 4:00 p.m.
• Kraken acquired TradeStation Crypto, bolstering its US expansion.

TradeStation Securities has integrated CME Group’s new XRP futures contracts into its platform, marking a significant development in the expansion of regulated cryptocurrency derivatives.

The addition allows both institutional and retail clients to access micro and standard XRP futures in a cash-settled format.

This move comes amid rising demand for regulated exposure to digital assets and increasing scrutiny of the crypto market, particularly in the United States.

“As demand for regulated crypto derivatives continues to grow, TradeStation Securities is committed to providing traders with direct access to high-demand crypto derivative products through the regulated futures market,” said James Putra, SVP, Head of Product Management, TradeStation Group, Inc.

“TradeStation Securities is happy to expand its capabilities with CME Group’s XRP contracts. This provides another opportunity for traders to engage with one of the most actively traded digital assets in the market, while further diversifying their portfolios.”

CME’s XRP futures go live on TradeStation

TradeStation clients can now trade CME Group’s XRP futures based on the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate, which is published daily at 4:00 p.m. London time.

The contracts are available in two sizes—2,500 XRP and 50,000 XRP—designed to cater to different trading strategies and capital requirements.

These futures are cash-settled, meaning traders avoid dealing with direct custody of the underlying tokens.

This move is aligned with TradeStation’s efforts to enhance its futures offerings.

Earlier this year, the firm expanded into micro-sized contracts in traditional commodities such as grains, oilseeds, and Micro WTI Crude Oil.

By adding CME’s crypto derivatives, TradeStation is now providing traders with more flexible tools to participate in the digital assets market using regulated products.

Hedge and speculate in a regulated space

The integration of CME XRP futures enables more sophisticated trading strategies, including hedging against spot market volatility and speculative positioning.

These instruments offer an alternative to direct token ownership, which often comes with custodial, security, and regulatory complexities.

The launch also reflects broader institutional appetite for regulated crypto exposure. Since the debut of CME’s XRP contracts, institutional interest has been growing.
