Crypto Trader Says Top Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Rival Could Crash 70%, Updates Outlook on Bitcoin and Solana

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez is warning that a top memecoin could plunge significantly amid the market downturn.

Martinez tells his 128,900 followers on the social media platform X that Pepe (PEPE) is “about to crash” after breaking down below the lower boundary of a parallel channel it has been trading in for almost a year.

“Since March 2024, Pepe tends to drop to the lower support trend line and then it rises to the upper resistance trend line. From this level, Pepe tends to drop back to the lower support trend line and from here it rebounds again. But today, Pepe broke below the support trend line. Now a spike in selling pressure could push Pepe into a 70% price correction towards $0.00000316.”

A parallel channel suggests that an asset is trading in an uptrend, printing higher highs and higher lows. A break below the diagonal trendline of the channel indicates that the uptrend has been invalidated.

Pepe is trading at $0.00000769, down 73% from the all-time high price of $0.00002803 reached in December of 2024.

Next up is Bitcoin (BTC). Martinez says that the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is flashing a bearish signal for Bitcoin in the weekly time frame. The MACD is an indicator used to determine trend direction and identify changes in momentum using the differences in the short-term and long-term exponential moving averages.

“Every time the MACD has a bearish crossover on the weekly chart, Bitcoin has historically seen an average 40% correction. The MACD just flashed another bearish crossover!”

Bitcoin is trading at $81,645 at time of writing.

Turning to Solana (SOL), Martinez says that SOL must “defend” the crypto asset’s support level at around $125. Based on Martinez’s chart, it appears he is suggesting that if the $125 support level fails to hold, Solana could plummet to below $70.
