Today's Crypto Assets price prediction: XRP, SHIB, PEPE have strong pump potential, and Bitcoin will break through its historical peak again.
Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen about 6.9% from its historical high, but market sentiment remains strongly optimistic. Many analysts predict that as the Bitcoin price continues to hover near its peak, it will break through again. This has sparked the potential for strong increases in Ripple (XRP), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and PEPE meme coins, showing that investors are fully confident in the overall upward trend of the market.
There are also signs that the U.S. government will fulfill its commitment to regulate cryptocurrencies. Over the weekend, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the "Project Crypto," a series of initiatives aimed at updating U.S. securities laws, hoping to bring the clarity that the industry has long called for. As expectations for a long-term bull market continue to strengthen, market attention is increasingly turning to digital assets that may surpass previous records.
Ripple (XRP): Impressive Price Trends in 2025
XRP of Ripple reached a new high of $3.65 on July 18, surpassing the 2018 high of $3.40. Although the current trading price is around $2.99, it has fallen 17.7% from its all-time high and has increased by 5% in the past 24 hours, indicating that the market is in a healthy recovery phase.
Due to its fast transaction speed, extremely low fees, and efficient global remittance capabilities without the need for intermediaries, XRP has become the preferred choice for institutional users. It has even received support from organizations such as the United Nations, enhancing its legitimacy.
2023 was a pivotal moment when a U.S. court ruled that the retail sales of XRP do not qualify as securities, thereby clearing the regulatory fog and paving the way for the restoration of investor confidence by 2025.
XRP has increased by over 449% in the past 365 days, far exceeding Bitcoin's 88% increase during the same period.
From a technical perspective, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of XRP is on an upward trend at 56, indicating that buying momentum exceeds selling momentum, thus momentum may be recovering. This may suggest that XRP has increased by 35% over the past 30 days, while the increase for BTC is only 6%, therefore the bulls are attempting to push higher.
Due to strong activity in the bull market, XRP experienced a significant divergence from its 30-day moving average in July. Currently, the two lines have converged, and the downside risk seems to be under control, with strong support located just below the previous resistance level of $3.
The bullish flag pattern formed from the end of 2024 to April 2025 may indicate that gold prices could rise to 4 dollars in the coming months.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): The competitor of Dogecoin may pump 3 to 9 times
SHIB was launched in August 2020, solidifying its position as the second largest meme coin, with a market capitalization exceeding 7.2 billion dollars.
SHIB has seen a slight overnight increase, rising 0.4% in the past 24 hours in sync with other parts of the market, corresponding to the overall cryptocurrency market's increase of 0.9%. The total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has now reached $3.8 trillion. SHIB is currently trading at around $0.00001225.
The technical chart patterns indicate that there may be further upside potential in the future. Over the past year, SHIB has shown two strong bullish indicators: a descending wedge from November to March, and a bullish flag that has formed since mid-May.
If SHIB can break through the major resistance level of 0.000022 USD under broader market optimism, analysts believe the coin is likely to rebound to 0.00003 USD before the end of summer. In a full bull market environment, the price range is expected to be between 0.00006 USD and 0.00009 USD by the end of the year.
Unlike most meme coins, SHIB provides real-world utility through Shibarium, which is its second-layer solution built on Ethereum that enhances scalability, reduces costs, and increases transaction speed.
Pepe (PEPE): The viral meme coin is expected to rebound in price
PEPE was launched in April 2023 and quickly entered the top three meme coins by market capitalization, thanks to the cultural appeal of this internet-famous frog from Matt Furie's work.
Its amazing rise has inspired countless imitators, although none have been able to match its momentum. PEPE has a market capitalization of about 4.4 billion dollars and even briefly appeared in Elon Musk's X profile picture; it has solidified its status as a popular meme.
The current price is approximately $0.00001045, having risen 7% over the past 30 days, but still 63% lower than the historical high of $0.00002803 at the end of 2024. The descending wedge pattern indicates that a bullish reversal may be forming.
The RSI has dropped to 38, suggesting that recent selling pressure may be easing as assets approach the oversold level of 30. This could lay the groundwork for a quick rebound over the weekend, providing bullish investors with an attractive buying level.
Overall, the total market value of cryptocurrencies in the meme coin sector rose by 5.6% overnight, reaching 70.8 billion USD. Although PEPE has seen almost no change in the past 24 hours, the ongoing meme coin rebound will drive bulls to take positions in PEPE.
Due to good macroeconomic indicators and the potential for market momentum to revive, supporters of PEPE are paying attention to the possibility of price increases by the end of summer.
