Bitcoin climbed above $109K, triggering a surge across the markets: Ethereum ($ETH) – up 4.65% XRP ($XRP) – up 3.86% Solana ($SOL) – up 7.85% Tron ($TRX) – up 4.17% But one of the biggest daily surges came from an unexpected corner, as Dogecoin mounted an 8% rally and broke the key $0.17 mark. As meme coins rebound, could the purest meme coin of them all be poised to hit the stratosphere? Time for a closer look. What’s Driving the Rally? A wave of optimism around potential US Federal Reserve rate cuts, prompted by recent dovish statements from key officials, energized risk assets. Overall, markets are bullish and tokens are up for a number of reasons. Approvals of new crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) signaled increased institutional interest, especially in altcoins. Greater clarity in US crypto regulation is drawing fresh capital into the market. Growing TradFi and DeFi convergence – including banking applications for key crypto institutions – has lowered barriers to entry while increasing a sense of trust. There’s still uncertainty, especially ahead of the Labor Department’s expected employment report on July 3. But for now, positivity reigns, and traders clamor for more gains. Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, noted, ‘Bitcoin is in the passenger seat… Recent crypto ETP approvals may be raising investor confidence that TradFi capital will make its way into altcoins.’ He expects new token highs later in the year, and it’s not just Bitcoin we’re talking about. Wider Market Backdrop Still Positive for Key Crypto Players US equity benchmarks like Nasdaq and the S&P 500 also ticked up, with the S&P 500 hitting an all-time high. However, geopolitical and fiscal uncertainties – such as the delayed U.S. budget, ongoing global trade tensions, and regional conflicts – remain a constant worry for investors. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows on July 1, suggesting some caution, though that was the first day in a 15-day streak of inflows. Ripple’s application for a national bank charter with the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) marked another sign of growing institutional integration. And President Trump’s enthusiastic endorsement of a U.S.-Vietnam trade deal may boost broader risk-on sentiment. All told, it’s no surprise that Dogecoin made a strong push – and could be forming the base for another surge to $0.19 or beyond. A strong performance from the world’s biggest meme coin creates a favorable environment for the purest, simplest, strongest meme coin presale – Token6900 ($T6900). Token6900 ($T6900) – All Meme, All the Time First there was the SPX6900 token, a meme with no utility, just a $1.2B market cap. It’s up 4.3% in the past week, kicking butt and taking names. Now there’s Token6900 ($T6900), with even less utility but more…tokens? Yes, it has one more token than SPX6900. Talk about pettiness, right? The project is pure meme coin madness, all mood and all vibe. And it’s all potential, too – the potential to ride the growing meme market to unprecedented heights. The truth of $T6900 is that it isn’t just another meme coin – it’s the most literal meme coin possible. The truth is the meme, and the meme is truth. There’s no hiding, no fancy promises of future utility – just a meme, a presale, and slaptastic potential. True meme coin aficionados are already buying in; the presale has raised over $191K in a matter of days, with tokens priced at only $0.006425. Visit the Token6900 presale page to learn more. Memes Ready to Make Bank in Bullish Markets Crypto markets are currently buoyed by encouraging macro signals, institutional momentum, and regulatory progress. While underlying uncertainties persist, the prevailing sentiment leans toward upside – and Token6900 taps into that outlook to unleash pure meme coin momentum. Do your own research – this isn’t financial advice.

Crypto analyst Capo of Crypto, who is currently one of the most recognizeable names in crypto spaces on social media, has sounded a warning for the market. The analyst has completely dismissed the current trajectory of the Bitcoin price and, by extension, the altcoin market, calling for only a short-lived rally. His analysis points to a Bitcoin price crash, but the most impact is expected to be felt by the altcoin market as they tumble further. Bitcoin Price Is Headed Below $100,000 In the post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Capo of Crypto shares a rather bearish thesis that suggests that the current strength in Bitcoin won’t last. He points out that the Bitcoin price hasn’t bottomed yet and that the capitulation event is yet to happen. Related Reading: XRP Roadmap To $8.5: Why The Next Impulse Could Start Soon A capitulation event is a time in the market when prices are falling, triggering panic among investors. This panic leads to further selling as investors become scared that prices will keep crashing, and this leads to deeper losses in the market. An example of a capitulation event is the FTX market crash, when the Bitcoin price fell by more than 60% in a matter of months. The crypto analyst predicts that the Bitcoin price will actually fall further, first below $100,000. Once this psychological level is broken, he sees the price heading for the $92,000 to $93,000 territory. However, he doesn’t expect the crash to end there as capitulation events often lead to deeper losses. He explains that if Bitcoin does fall below the $92,000-$93,000 support, then the market should expect to see prices as low as $60,000-$70,000. Altcoins To Get Decimated With the Bitcoin price expected to crash so hard, the effect on the altcoin market will be even more profound. Over the last few months, 10% dips in the Bitcoin price have translated to around 20-30% dips in altcoin prices. Therefore, a nearly 50% crash in the Bitcoin price would be disastrous for altcoins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Risks Market Crash After Closing Below Final Weekly Resistance Capo of Crypto actually expects altcoins to crash harder, predicting that they will fall another 50-80% if his idea of the market does play out. This could put the altcoin market on a path to new lows not seen in the last five years, and could be the worst bear market in recent history. This is not the first time that Capo has warned the community of an impending crash. Back in May, when the Bitcoin price was hitting new all-time highs, the analyst had warned that the market could reverse its gains. On May 15, he posted a picture of a Black Swan, suggesting that prices could crash. Since then, most altcoins have reversed their gains, with only Bitcoin managing to maintain most of its gains from that time period. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
