Key takeaways

• A soft U.S. inflation report later today could see Bitcoin rally above the $97k level.
• iDEGEN’s presale surpasses $21m ahead of the Feb. 27 listing. 

Bitcoin trades above $96k ahead of CPI

The cryptocurrency market has been bearish this week, with BTC dipping below $94k on Tuesday. However, it is trading above $96k per coin and could rally higher on CPI news later today.

Analysts expect the January U.S. CPI report to show limited progress on inflation. It’s expected to show that the cost of living increased by 0.3% month-on-month in January, slowing down from December’s 0.4% rise.

This will be positive news for risk-based assets like Bitcoin, and BTC’s price could surge past the $97k mark in the coming hours. 

What is iDEGEN?

The cryptocurrency market is bearish this week, but investors continue to push more funds into new and promising projects. iDEGEN is a promising project that has attracted millions of dollars from investors. 

It is a meme project that leverages the benefits of AI to create the next billion-dollar memecoin. The project has raised over $20 million in its presale and allocated the money to launch several products and services. 

According to the whitepaper, iDEGEN is an AI tool that primarily functions as such. It continuously evolves and adapts by leveraging community feeds on X. While iDEGEN is powered by AI, degens ultimately raise the tool. 

Its native token, $IDGN, will power various activities within the ecosystem. Although it will launch as a memecoin, iDEGEN will offer various utilities to its community and the broader crypto space.

Its launch as a memecoin stems from the recent growth of the meme narrative in the crypto space. Last year, the memecoin ecosystem grew from a $20 billion market cap to $120 billion, representing a 500% growth within 12 months. 

The $IDGN launch on exchanges will occur in roughly two weeks. Once it goes live, it could become one of the best-performing coins in the broader crypto market. 

iDEGEN users feed the tool their data through tweets, tags, and comments. The iDEGEN tool absorbs the post and adds it to its knowledge base; that’s how it learns. Furthermore, iDEGEN posts on X every 60 minutes and can generate and post memes. 

iDEGEN’s presale hits $21m

Despite the current market conditions, the iDEGEN project continues to achieve new milestones. The presale has now officially surpassed $21 million from early investors. 

In the current stage, the $IDGN token is worth $0.0236, and its price will increase to $0.0259 in the next stage. In the final presale stage, it will be worth $0.038, giving early investors a massive ROI before the token launches on exchanges. 

Once the presale ends, iDEGEN’s native token will list on centralised and decentralised trading platforms. 

Is it ideal to invest in iDEGEN before its exchange listing?

The iDEGEN presale is still ongoing but will end in 14 days. It could become one of the biggest performers in the market once the $IDGN token is listed on cryptocurrency exchanges. 

Its unique value proposition makes it an interesting memecoin. iDEGEN could gain massive adoption within the crypto ecosystem as its tool offers an excellent use case. Early investors stand a chance to earn excellent ROI once $IDGN goes live.

The cryptocurrency market has continued to show resilience in the wake of trade tensions. Most majors have recorded some gains as investors beyond the current instabilities and onto the expected surge in cryptocurrency adoption rates. 

Notably, more market participants are broadening their horizon to include fresh projects with great potential. iDEGEN, a revolutionary force within the AI crypto space is one such entity. 

With about two weeks left for its presale, savvy investors are steadily amassing $IDGN tokens. Based on its potential, its current token price of $0.0236 is likely the lowest it will ever get to moving forward.

Bitcoin’s steady appeal to sustain it above months-long support zone

Even with the recent risk-off mood, bitcoin price has held steady above $90,000, a support zone that has been steady since mid-November 2024. As a cryptocurrency, it is categorized as a risky asset. 

Nonetheless, it continues to attract more individual and institutional investors as its global adoption increases. Indeed, countries like the US and Czech Republic may soon join the growing number of nations and sovereign wealth funds that have included Bitcoin in their strategic reserves. It is this optimism, coupled with eased cryptocurrency regulations, that will support bitcoin in the short and medium-term. 

A look at its daily chart shows Bitcoin price hovering around the 50-day EMA while still trading below the short-term 20-day EMA. At the same time, its RSI is at 47, slightly below the neutral level of 50. Notably, the RSI is facing upwards, indicating that the current rebounding may continue in the ensuing sessions.

At its current level, the range between the psychologically crucial zone of $100,000 and the support level of $96,005 remains worth watching. Further rebounding will have the bull eye the next target at $102,595. However, this bullish thesis will be invalid if the cryptocurrency pulls back below the lower support zone of $94,444.87.

iDEGEN’s positioning turns early adopters to rich crypto investors ahead of its listing

iDEGEN, an AI crypto project that has been making waves in the market since late November 2024, is set to hit the public shelves in about two weeks. Notably, the powerful trifactor that has captured the attention of investors is expected to catapult it to great heights upon listing.

To begin with, the AI crypto space has grown to a market cap of $29.2 billion as seen on CoinGecko. AI16z, one of iDEGEN’s rivals which was launched in October 2024, is valued at over $618 million. As a revolutionary force that has succeeded at curving its niche in the sector, iDEGEN also has the potential to have its value surge by 20x post-listing.

Besides, its positioning as a community-driven project with no guard rails has given it a competitive edge in the market. For instance, its previous ban on X on grounds of “violent content” attracted more investors; enabling it to raise an additional $1 million within 24 hours. 

It has gone on to expand its reach with it the latest V3 upgrade allowing for video content. These upgrades, coupled with its integration of the viral DeepSeek, have yielded fresh waves of buying pressure. 

So far, it has raised over $21 million with more than 1.7 million $IDGN tokens already sold. As it stands, investors only have a few more weeks left to get onto this highly profitable bandwagon. With returns of over 21,000%, the early adopters are already earning big even before the project’s listing. You can buy the iDegen token here.

Cardano price to rebound within a range amid competition from smart contract projects 

Cardano price appears set for a week of gains after being in the red over the past three weeks. On the one hand, new projects in the smart contract space have exerted pressure on Cardano. However, its healthy adoption rate and blockchain infrastructure continues to support the altcoin.

On its daily chart, cardano price remains below the 25 and 50-day EMAs. At an RSI of 39, it has some room for a rebound. However, while the rebounding will likely continue in the ensuing sessions, it may be range-bound in the short term.

 At its current level, the range between the support zone of $0.7005 and the 20-day EMA at $0.8185 is worth watching. With additional bullish momentum, the bulls will be eyeing the next resistance level at $0.8875.

• The crypto market trended lower last week as US tariffs rocked the market, causing investors to flee to safe-haven assets like Gold.
• Crypto prices which recovered slightly on Monday and Tuesday continued trending downward as uncertainty looms.
• Meanwhile, spot ETF inflows remained positive despite some days of outflows.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s price trended lower over the last week following President Trump’s announcement of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. Investors fled to safe-haven assets like Gold while risky assets, like crypto, trended lower.

However, the tariffs are a catalyst for faster price declines as price action shows that BTC was already on a decline in its substructure after failing to swing higher than the $108,000 level three weeks ago.

BTC made two consecutive lower lows on the substructure over the last two weeks and traded into the daily demand zone early last week, logging a weekly low of $91,176.94.

After buying from the demand zone, the price rose to an internal supply zone at $102,000, validated by the 50% Fibonacci level, and sold off that zone to end the week at $96,475.03.

On the CME, where Bitcoin Futures are traded the most, open interest fell last week as traders closed contracts due to uncertainty caused by Trump’s tariffs.

Meanwhile, spot BTC ETFs logged a positive week as net flows printed $208.30Mn despite two days of major outflows.

Price Outlook

Provided the price remains above the demand zone on the daily time frame, then Bitcoin’s overall structure should remain bullish despite price declines on the substructure.

However, a daily close below the demand zone, i.e., below the $90,000 level, may trigger a sell-off to support levels around $84,000 or lower.

 

BTC trades at $97,624.73 as of publishing.

Ethereum

After failing to break above March 2024 highs, Ethereum’s price has been on a downtrend on its substructure since mid-December 2024.

On the 4-hour time frame, the price logged consecutive lower lows with the most recent low of $2,148.00 reached early last week. Price has improved since then, closing last week at $2,632.16.

Open interest on Binance, where Ethereum Futures are traded the most, shows a decline in the number of open contracts, which could be another catalyst for price declines.

Meanwhile, spot ETH ETFs logged positive inflows on all days last week, aside from Friday when it logged no inflows (or outflows), totalling $420.20Mn for the week.

Price Outlook

The next probable zone for ETH’s price to fall is a major support zone around $2,200. With Trump planning to impose a 25% tariff on steel and Aluminum as well as a fresh round of retaliatory tariffs against trade partners, more uncertainty could push ETH’s price there soon.

ETH trades at $2,640.05 as of publishing.
