Pepe coin (PEPE) price surged 68% last week as Bitcoin (BTC) price reached $104k, sparking a bullish revival of meme coins. Outperforming top meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), the high momentum rally in PEPE recovers more than 50% of the Q1 downfall. As Pepe coin holds above the $0.000010 psychological zone, upbeat investors anticipate a potential 80% rally.
Pepe Coin Price Hits $0.000015 as Meme Coin Rally Begins
Raising all boats with Bitcoin reclaiming the $104k level, the meme coin market hits a 30-day high of $76.13 billion. Capitalizing on market momentum, PEPE price surged almost 68% in the last seven days, while DOGE and SHIB remained at 32% and 21%, respectively.

PEPE Price Analysis Spots Strong Support at $0.00001178
With a 7-day high at $0.00001539, Pepe coin is now trading at $0.00001334 with an intraday pullback of 2.11%. Coupled with the doji candle formed on Monday and increased volatility near $0.00001426, reflects indecisiveness in PEPE as it enters a breather phase.
Failing to surpass the 61.80% Fibonacci level at $0.00001426, Pepe hints at a potential retest of the 50% level at $0.00001178. Following a potential retest of the 50% level, Pepe’s prevailing triangle breakout rally could regain momentum. This put the triangle breakout price target of $0.00002209 back on bullish radars, an 80% upside from retest level.
As Pepe coin price holds above the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), the 50- and 100-day EMAs hint at a bullish crossover. This could trigger a buy signal and increase golden crossover chances. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index witnessed a minor drop within the overbought zone, suggesting a momentum drop. This aligns with PEPE price struggling near the $0.00001426 resistance, bolstering the retest chances.
In case of a steeper pullback under the 50% Fibonacci level, Pepe coin price prediction forecasts the 200-day EMA retest at $0.00001057. Meanwhile, the $0.0000090 support zone remains a stronghold for the meme coin.
Pepe Coin Price Chart
A potential crash below $0.0000090 will negate the triangle breakout rally bounce back chances. Further, it might lead to a $0.0000074 retest.
Pepe’s Open Interest Hits All-Time High
Pepe coin price surge leads to increased trading activity on the derivatives front. According to Coinglass, the PEPE Open Interest (OI) reached an all-time high of $583 million as traders anticipate sharp moves in the meme coin.
Pepe Open Interest
The Pepe OI weighted funding rate has reached a record high in 2025 at 0.0272%, reflecting a rising bullish confidence in trading activity.
PEPE Funding Rate
Rising Liquidations Warn of Retest
Despite the strong derivatives data, the 12-hour long liquidations spike to nearly $5 million as PEPE fluctuates and fails to cross the immediate resistance. Thus, a potential retest seems imminent amid rising liquidations that could damage the rising OI and funding rate.
Liquidation Chart
As Pepe’s technical signals suggest a potential retest, a recovery fueled by Bitcoin’s rally will negate the short-term bearish signals. Until then, a retest of 50% Fibonacci seems inevitable, a potential buy-the-dip spot for confident investors.

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), a publicly traded company focused on Bitcoin (BTC) mining, has seen a dramatic 694.8% surge in its stock price following the announcement of its $250 million Ethereum (ETH) treasury strategy.
The firm has also appointed Tom Lee, CIO of Fundstrat Capital, as the chairman of its board of directors.
BitMine Announces Ethereum Treasury Plans
According to the press release, BitMine is set to raise $250 million through a private placement. The offering will involve the sale of over 55 million shares at $4.50 per share. The transaction is expected to close on July 3.
“The private placement will accelerate BitMine’s treasury holdings shortly after its first treasury purchase on June 9, 2025. FalconX, Kraken, and Galaxy Digital plan to partner with the Company to grow a world class Ethereum treasury strategy alongside existing custody partners, BitGo and Fidelity Digital,” BitMine’s CEO, Jonathan Bates, stated.
“A differentiating feature of Ethereum is the enabling of smart contracts and the majority of stablecoin payments, tokenized assets, and decentralized financial applications are transacted on Ethereum,” the firm noted.
This treasury will also provide the firm access to Ethereum’s native blockchain features, including staking and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. These capabilities will enable BitMine to generate additional value from its ETH holdings while maintaining its focus on Bitcoin mining and other core business operations.
“Goal: make BitMine the largest publicly traded ETH holder, mirroring what MicroStrategy did for BTC, except with an asset that actually yields. Lee calls the model the “MicroStrategy of Ethereum,” analyst Eric Conner wrote.
Notably, the announcement led to a notable rise in the firm’s stock prices. Google Finance data showed that BMNR’s value appreciated by 694.8% to close at $33.9. The positive momentum continued in after-hours trading as the stock rose further by 40.4%.

Tom Lee, now Chairman of BitMine, likened stablecoins to the ‘ChatGPT of crypto,’ emphasizing how they have quickly gained traction among consumers, merchants, and financial services providers.
Previously, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent projected that the stablecoin market could grow to $2 trillion by 2028. Since Ethereum is the primary blockchain for stablecoin transactions, ETH is well-positioned to benefit from this growth.
“One of the key performance metrics (KPI) for BitMine going forward is to increase the value of ETH held per share. This can be achieved by a combination of reinvestment of the Company’s cash flows, capital markets activities, and by the change in value of ETH,” he added.
Lee is not alone in his optimism about Ethereum’s prospects. Experts foresee the altcoin reaching new heights as stablecoins gain increased attention.
“The recent movement regarding the GENIUS Act, which provided a long-awaited regulatory framework around stablecoins, has been a major catalyst for ETH’s recent performance. As the home to the majority of stablecoin volume, Ethereum stands to benefit a lot from this policy development due to its role in supporting the stablecoin infrastructure,” MEXC Research told BeInCrypto.
MEXC Research suggested that as risk sentiment improves with stabilizing geopolitical conditions and enhanced global liquidity, ETH is positioned to experience further growth in the coming weeks.
They forecasted that if macroeconomic factors remain favorable, ETH could potentially rise to $3,000 or even $3,300. However, an unexpected event, like a ‘black swan’ scenario, might cause a drop below $2,350, leading to a deeper correction towards $2,100.
