Bitcoin’s push toward the $70,000 mark has reignited momentum across the crypto market, and altcoins are beginning to move in tandem. The rally comes shortly after the latest U.S. CPI data showed inflation cooling more than expected, easing macro pressure and improving overall risk sentiment. With inflation slowing to 2.4%, investors appear more comfortable rotating back into risk assets, including crypto.
As Bitcoin strengthens, capital is flowing into smaller tokens, triggering sharp breakouts in names like pippin and pump.fun. Both have recorded strong gains alongside rising trading volumes, signaling active participation rather than a thin liquidity spike. The question arises now: how high can the prices go this weekend?
pippin (PIPPIN) Price Smashes a New ATH
After rebounding from the lows around $0.16, the pippin price has been rising aggressively. The price has been printing huge bullish candles, gaining more than 300% to mark new highs at $0.6298, a few moments ago. Despite a small cool-off, the bulls continue to hold a tight grip over the rally, which suggests that the price is yet to discover more highs.
The strong V-shaped recovery has assisted the rally to reach the crucial resistance zone between $0.51 and $0.54. The bulls attempted a breakout from the zone, but a drop in buyers’ strength prevented the move. The RSI and CMF both surged significantly, but both have displayed a small divergence. This could delay a further upside, preventing the price from reaching $0.7. However, the market sentiments are extremely bullish right now, hinting towards a probable rise in the price.
pump.fun (PUMP) Price Halts Prevailing Bearish Trend
While PIPPIN price surged aggressively, pump.fun price managed to trigger a rebound from the lows. The token has rebounded from the levels that it flipped before, hitting towards the range between $0.0016 and $0.0018, have formed a strong base. This can be considered a bullish indicator, which could push the price higher to the pivotal resistance zone.
As seen in the above chart, the PUMP price has not only begun to rise but is also forming a potential double-bottom pattern. A rise above the immediate resistance at $0.022 and $0.025 may validate the bullish pattern, which may raise the hopes of a continued upswing. Besides, the RSI has just risen while the MACD is about to undergo a bullish divergence. This suggests that the token could experience a strong and sustained ascending trend and reach the neckline between $0.032 and $0.033 soon.
The Bottom Line: Will the Bullish Momentum Prevail?
Momentum currently favors the bulls as Bitcoin approaches $70,000 and altcoins respond with expanding volume. The CPI-driven relief has improved sentiment, but follow-through remains crucial. If Bitcoin holds above key support and continues printing higher highs, altcoins like Pippin and Pump.fun could extend their gains. However, a rejection near $70K may quickly cool risk appetite. For now, structure supports continuation, but confirmation over the next few sessions will determine sustainability.
