Ethereum climbed past $3,500, and rising interest in XRP has drawn attention back to large-cap cryptocurrencies. With ETF discussions heating up and the market showing signs of recovery, investors are also watching for early-stage tokens with practical value. One project gaining traction is Hexydog (HEXY), which brings blockchain innovation into the global pet care industry. As the crypto space evolves, identifying utility-driven presale tokens becomes even more important.
Bitcoin Climbs 12% as Bullish Sentiment Grows
Bitcoin rose by 14.65% in the past week, reaching a new high of $123,250. On Monday alone, it crossed $120,000 for the first time, settling at $120,290. Over the month, it has gained 15 percent, with an average price increase of more than $15,000.
Institutional investors have fueled this rise by pouring $2.7 billion into Bitcoin ETFs, marking one of the strongest weekly inflows since early 2024. Total assets in these funds hit a record $158 billion.
Technical indicators point to further growth. Bitcoin is emerging from a “bull flag” pattern, and analysts are now watching for a potential move toward $150,000. Katie Stockton, a widely followed market analyst, forecasts a near-term target of $134,500.
Investor confidence is positive. Fear and Greed Index is 71 and wallets with more than 100 BTC are at an all-time high of more than 18,600. The $111,000 to $114,000 price range seems to have taken the role of a new support zone, which supports the long-term prospects of Bitcoin.
Best Altcoins to Watch After Bitcoin’s Rally
As Bitcoin leads the charge, attention is shifting to altcoins with strong fundamentals and expanding use cases.
Ethereum values over $439 billion and remains the number one platform for smart contract support. Solana has also performed well increasing by 8 percent in a day and demonstrated its potential to work under massive transactions. XRP news is making headlines thanks to ongoing court cases and talks of potential ETFs.
Other coins such as Monero, Bitcoin Cash and TRON have also registered huge returns in 2019. Analysts cite their technological advancements and online communities as some of the reasons to follow them.
According to Pew Research, the crypto is increasingly becoming more involved with individuals of various ages and backgrounds. In the U.S. about 65 million people have interacted with cryptocurrencies in some way.
While big coins take the spotlight smaller projects with clear purposes are catching the interest of more investors.
Meme coins continue to hold a unique position in the crypto market. While many are driven by community sentiment and short-term hype, a few have managed to stay relevant by maintaining liquidity, visibility, and strong brand recognition. Investors are increasingly cautious, however, and tend to evaluate meme coins based on market cycles rather than long-term fundamentals.
One of the most discussed questions in this space remains will shiba inu reach $1. Despite its large community and ecosystem developments, analysts generally agree that supply dynamics make such a target extremely challenging, even during strong market conditions.
Another frequent topic among traders is will pepe reach 1 cent. Pepe’s rapid rise highlighted how quickly meme-driven momentum can form, but it also showed how volatile and sentiment-dependent these assets remain once initial enthusiasm fades.
Overall, meme coins still attract attention, but their performance is closely tied to broader market sentiment and speculative cycles rather than sustained utility or adoption.
Conclusion
Bitcoin crossing the $120,000 mark shows that trust in the wider crypto space is increasing. Big names like Ethereum and Solana still grab a lot of attention, but newer projects with solid foundations are getting noticed too. Hexydog catches the eye because it mixes real-world utility with rewards for staking and clear operations. As the crypto market shifts into its next stage, HEXY positions itself as a solid choice for investors looking to hold value over time.
