The price of several digital currencies, such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Cardano (ADA), has risen rapidly. After weeks of sustained consolidation, these altcoins have recorded their highest price levels in the past month, setting them on many traders’ watchlists. Amid the general bullish breakout, here is a breakdown of what to expect from the price of these digital currencies moving forward.
Dogecoin and Potential Reversal Prospect
At the peak of trading, the price of DOGE soared as high as $0.1850 per CoinMarketCap data. However, the coin has seen its price fall to $0.1797 while maintaining a 4.07% uptick in 24 hours. The broader crypto market jumped today, with memecoins largely leading the rally.

For Dogecoin, the core performance metrics stayed bullish, with a trading volume of 64.24% to $2.1 billion. Over the past month, the DOGE price maintained a strong consolidation; the trading volume hardly exceeded the $1 billion mark. Despite the intensely positive retail and whale engagement, the memecoin is still locked below the $0.1800 resistance level.
The uptick in the price of Dogecoin did not come from core DOGE fundamentals. Unless this trend changes and core ecosystem updates emerge, the bullish breakout of the memecoin might be short-lived.
Shiba Inu Changing the Memecoin Outlook
Shiba Inu joined the rally, soaring as high as $0.00001388 within the 24 hours. Although the percentage gain is now relaxed, the coin has maintained its support above the $0.000013 mark. Over the past week, the coin jumped 13.62% as it looks to pare off the losses it incurred in the Year-to-Date (YTD).

Considering the market outlook, SHIB price analysis hints at a potential 512% breakout in the coming weeks. While there are conflicting whale and futures outlooks on different timeframes, the Shiba Inu ecosystem has a more promising anchor for the price.
Unlike other memecoins like Dogecoin, with Shibarium and the SHIB OS innovation, developers like Shytoshi Kusama are pushing for new use cases for the project. While there are collaborations with governments to back its evolution, time may be the major decider of how high Shiba Inu can sustain its cycle momentum.
Cardano May Take Advantage of Bitcoin Influence
Bitcoin is the clear market leader, but Cardano may see more benefits from its association in the long term. The Charles Hoskinson-led project is making an important pivot to drive Bitcoin adoption with DeFi-based staking as teased previously.
Cardano has achieved more than most Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain networks in the past year. The protocol transitioned to community governance and has outperformed core rivals in percentage growth over the past year.
Cardano’s price changed hands for $0.6983 at the time of writing, up by 5.92% in the past 24 hours.

With $0.7 a local market resistance, ADA has the fundamentals to break out long-term. Per an earlier ADA price analysis, the coin could soar to $0.7658 in the short term.
US President Donald Trump is reportedly launching a new crypto wallet in partnership with Magic Eden. Apparently, users will also be eligible to partake in a $1 million airdrop of TRUMP tokens.
There aren’t many specific details about this project available, but Magic Eden confirmed its involvement. Trump has a long-running interest in the NFT market, launching new ones last month, which could explain this choice.
Trump recently included NFT rewards in his Gala Dinner package, potentially explaining Magic Eden’s help making the wallet.
Unfortunately, we don’t have even the most basic information about the TRUMP wallet yet, including topics like KYC information, security, custody structure, etc. For now, interested users can join the waitlist in the hope of future developments.
The waitlist doesn’t have a clear end date, but it encourages users to buy TRUMP tokens. The meme coin has seen increased sell-offs since the dinner concluded a few weeks ago. Yet, today’s wallet announcement brought a brief spike.
The latest crypto wallet will likely bring more political scrutiny, specifically from the Democrats. Yet, the US president seems committed to furthering his meme coin venture.
Ethereum (ETH) appears bearish and is poised for a massive price crash in the coming days due to the current market sentiment and bearish price action. The past few months have been unfavorable for the overall cryptocurrency market, which has experienced a significant downward trend.
Ethereum (ETH) Technical Analysis and Price Action
Amid this downside momentum, ETH has lost multiple key support levels, including an ascending trendline and several horizontal support zones. Currently, the ETH price is on the verge of breaching another critical support level at $1,475.

If this happens and the altcoin breaks below this level, we could see a notable price decline in the coming days.
The potential reason behind this price crash in ETH is the ongoing tariff war between the United States and other countries.
Ethereum Price Prediction
According to expert technical analysis, ETH is on the verge of breaking down a key support level at $1,475. Based on recent price action and historical momentum, if this occurs and ETH closes a daily candle below the $1,450 level, there is a strong possibility it could decline by 30% to reach the $1,000 level in the coming days.

Amid this ongoing price decline, ETH has fallen below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily time frame. This indicator suggests that the asset is in a strong bearish trend, with sellers dominating the market.
At press time, ETH is trading near $1,465 and has experienced a price decline of 6.50% over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, during the same period, the asset’s trading volume dropped by 65%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors compared to previous days.
Whale Sell-off $15.70 Million Worth of ETH, What’s Next?
Looking at the current price momentum, on April 8, 2025, a crypto whale sold his entire holding of 10,000 ETH, worth $15.71 million, as reported by the blockchain-based transaction tracker Lookonchain.
After holding $ETH for over 900 days, a whale finally capitulated — selling all 10,000 $ETH($15.71M) today.
The whale originally bought 10,000 $ETH($12.95M) at an average of $1,295 on Oct 4 and Nov 14, 2022.
A post on X (formerly Twitter) further revealed that this whale had purchased the ETH between October 4 and November 14, 2022, at an average price of $1,292. Despite the recent price decline, he managed to book a profit of $2.75 million, although he missed out on a potential $27.60 million gain had he sold at the peak.
This massive sell-off may create additional selling pressure and contribute to further downside momentum.

A recent Cambridge report confirms that the United States now leads global Bitcoin mining, prompting questions about how China will respond. Though the country has long held an anti-crypto stance, Chinese mining pools have historically controlled a substantial portion of the global Bitcoin hashrate.
The US’s current competitive edge and renewed hostility over trade policy might motivate China to recapitulate. BeInCrypto spoke with representatives from The Coin Bureau and Wanchain to understand what might encourage China to change its stance toward digital assets.
US Overtakes China as Top Bitcoin Mining Hub
The US has firmly established itself as the world’s largest Bitcoin mining hub. A recent Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) report revealed that the US accounts for 75.4% of the reported hashrate.

This newest development confirms a notable reversal of power over Bitcoin mining dominance. China emerged as the world’s leading Bitcoin mining nation as early as 2017, leveraging its extensive mining infrastructure and low electricity costs to contribute upwards of 75% of the global hash rate at one point.
Yet, the country would later crack down on the industry.
China’s Crypto Crackdown
In 2019, the National Development and Reform Commission of China (NDRC) signaled its intention to prohibit cryptocurrency mining by releasing a draft law categorizing it as an “undesirable industry.”
Two years later, at least four Chinese provinces began shutting down mining operations. These crackdowns intensified amid concerns over excessive energy consumption.
However, China possesses a proven capacity to adjust to geopolitical shifts that could jeopardize its economic dominance, and the current environment may present such a challenge.
Has Bitcoin Mining in China Truly Stopped?
Even with China’s official stance toward crypto, mining activity has not stopped within the region. In July 2024, Bitcoin environmental impact analyst Daniel Batten reported that the hashrate within China currently accounts for approximately 15% of the global total.

Bottom lines: 1. 15%+ hashrate still comes from China
2. If you have 200-500 miners and want to do renewable-energy mining, you’re welcome

“Despite the official ban, the infrastructure is already in place: from offshore mining to cross-border trading hubs. With more global momentum behind crypto adoption and the US taking the lead, China may find itself incentivized to lean in more strategically, even if unofficially,” Nic Puckrin, Co-founder of the Coin Bureau, told BeInCrypto.
China also has a geographical advantage over the United States, especially regarding technological advancements.
Crypto mining, especially for proof-of-work cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, depends on Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) equipment to handle the necessary complex calculations for validation and mining.
China’s position as a top exporter of crypto mining hardware, particularly to the US, gives it a potential advantage should it decide to revive its mining sector.
Puckrin believes that the combination of trade friction and the US’s invigorated push for crypto dominance might be sufficient to make China reconsider its position.
“It’s unlikely China will make a public U-turn on its crypto mining and trading ban anytime soon. However, with US-based miners accounting for higher and higher proportions of Bitcoin’s hashrate, China is bound to be paying attention and may well be quietly reassessing its stance,” Puckrin told BeInCrypto.
However, China has strategies beyond restarting its Bitcoin mining industry to undermine the United States’ dominance.
China’s Nuanced Approach Beyond US Influence
Even though China opposes the widespread use of cryptocurrencies domestically, it may still see value in digital assets to counterbalance the US dollar’s global currency dominance.
Several countries worldwide have either adopted or are considering central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to strengthen their domestic currencies. China is at the forefront of these developments.
“Despite the ban on Bitcoin mining, China has actively participated in the digital asset space, through initiatives like CDBC research and the digital yuan, or e-CNY,” Wanchain CEO Temujin Louie told BeInCrypto.
In fact, China’s efforts to create a digital yuan are partly driven by its desire to de-dollarize its economy and lessen its dependence on the US dollar.
Louie also suggested that whatever move China makes, it won’t solely base its decision on what the US does or does not do.
That said, China’s decisions about digital currency will, in turn, affect how its position on crypto continues to develop.
“Weakening USD dominance, whether exacerbated or caused by President Trump’s approach to tariffs, may embolden China to be more aggressive in [its] efforts to internationalise the yuan, including the digital yuan, or e-CNY. Any change to China’s broader strategy will be reflected in [its] stance towards crypto,” he concluded.
China’s activity in other areas of international trade already proves how nuanced its policy changes tend to be.
Could China’s Conflicting Crypto Policies Signal a Change?
Aside from its appreciation of digital currencies like the e-CNY, China’s stance on crypto has already proven somewhat contradictory. These discrepancies may fuel the belief that the country might just be willing to revert—or at least soften—its total ban on mining.
A month ago, investment firm VanEck confirmed that China and Russia –two countries particularly burdened by US sanctions– are reportedly settling some of their energy trades using Bitcoin.
Russia and China are settling oil trades in BTC. I’ve heard first hand accounts of similar transactions with Venezuela. Full tankers are settled in BTC on the “grey” market. The U.S. Government crossed the Rubicon in 2022 by seizing Russian assets at the Federal Reserve and… pic.twitter.com/Y8OwJROw9W
“With the US dollar increasingly being used as a political lever –particularly in tariffed economies– other nations are actively exploring alternatives. Indeed, many countries around the world, including China and Russia, are already using Bitcoin as an alternative for trading in commodities and energy, for example. This trend is only going to accelerate as digital assets become a more prominent part of the global economy,” Puckrin told BeInCrypto.
According to Puckrin’s analysis of these indicators, China’s “shadow crypto economy” is projected to expand this year, which could result in a reassertion of its power. This resurgence would be primarily in response to de-dollarization efforts, rather than a reaction to US dominance in mining.
“We’ll likely see this activity ramping up in the near future, especially as more countries use crypto to bypass dollar-dominated systems,” he concluded.
It will remain crucial to interpret China’s intentions, especially regarding cryptocurrency, by observing its actions rather than relying solely on its official statements.
