![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/crypto-prices-today2.webp.webp)
The crypto market on Friday continued keeping investors on their toes, with coins mainly trading sluggishly. Bitcoin (BTC) price showcased a trading session at the $97K level, whereas Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) reflected a similar volatile trajectory. However, TRON emerged as the talk of the town, defying the broader market trend amid strong ecosystem growth.
Here’s a collection of some of the most buzzworthy coins on February 7:
Crypto Market Today- BTC & Altcoins Face Market Turbulence
Notably, the global cryptocurrency market cap slipped 0.47% from yesterday, reaching $3.18 trillion. However, the global market volume saw a slight 2.88% increase to $126.33 billion. At the same time, BTC price illustrated a tight intraday sideways action, still trading near the previous day’s levels. Moreover, other crypto tokens have mainly taken more heat from yesterday.
BTC Price At $97K
As of press time, BTC price traded at $97,289, down marginally by 0.2% intraday. However, it’s worth pointing out that the coin’s 24-hour low and high were $95,707.35 and $99,168.61, respectively. The flagship coin’s dominance saw a 0.52% increase from yesterday to 60.87%, signaling that altcoins took more heat and lost market value.
Ethereum Price Slips
ETH price cracked nearly 3.5% in the past 24 hours, reaching $2,713. The coin’s intraday bottom and peak were $2,662.45 and $2,857.14, respectively. Crypto market traders remain cautious as whales are recorded selling ETH amid the current turbulent landscape.
Lookonchain revealed on X that a whale sold 8,500 Ethereum tokens for 22.25 million DAI at an average price of $2,736 during early Asian hours on February 7. Market sentiments remain uncertain at the moment as a result of the broader sector’s volatility.
XRP Price Below $2.5
Meanwhile, XRP price mimicked a drop, down nearly 3% to $2.35. The coin’s intraday bottom and peak were $2.29 and $2.46, respectively. Despite the price drop, renowned analyst Ali Martinez revealed that whales bought 520 million XRP, flagging a buy-the-dip opportunity. This data also suggests that a recovery above $3 lies ahead.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that the CBOE stock exchange has filed 19b-4 applications with the U.S. SEC, primarily for 21Shares, Bitwise, WisdomTree, and Canary Capital XRP ETFs.
Solana Price Mirrors Dip
SOL price witnessed a 4% decline in value and exchanged hands at $193.39. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $188.17 and $203.89, respectively. Intriguingly, VanEck made a bullish prediction on SOL price, claiming it to hit $520 by year end.

The meme coins sector has mirrored a very similar waning action. Dogecoin (DOGE) price tanked 3% in the past 24 hours and is sitting at $0.2522. Shiba Inu (SHIB) pulled back 5%, resting at $0.00001511. Even PEPE and TRUMP reversed gains by 6-7%, trading at $0.000009455 and $17.51, respectively.

Can Fartcoin Price Rally To $1.4 Or A Crash To $0.35 Looms? Here’s All
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Solana-Meme-Coin-Fartcoin-Price-Is-Up-500-in-11-Days-Whats-Next_.webp.webp)
Fartcoin price remains much-eyed by crypto market traders and investors globally as the meme coin has fallen from grace, down nearly 83% from its peak and now at the $0.46 level. Nevertheless, recent market data flagged rising whale accumulations for the Solana meme coin, conversely generating sentiments of a price recovery ahead.
Despite the current market volatility, two smart whales collectively bagged nearly 6 million tokens. As a result, market participants speculate whether a recovery to $1.4 or a crash to $0.35 awaits amid broader trends.
Fartcoin Price Bullish Amid Smart Whale Accumulations?
The latest whale data suggests that a potential recovery awaits the meme coin despite the broader turbulent trend. According to the on-chain transaction tracker’ ai_9684xtpa’ on X, two smart money addresses bagged massive amounts of the Solana meme token amid its slump.
Per the data, smart trader ‘Ansem’ added 818,000 tokens at an average price of $0.4142. Further, the new address ’59aZn..’ bagged 5 million tokens from Kraken at a withdrawal price of $0.4574. Although Fartcoin price is currently down 83% from its peak, these accumulations sparked optimism surrounding the coin’s future movements, signaling a ‘buy-the-dip’ opportunity.
Crypto Enthusiast Rationalizes Price Dip
Meanwhile, crypto market enthusiast ElonMoney recently took to X, rationalizing the current dip in Fartcoin. According to the market enthusiast, a broader slumping action can currently be witnessed across the altcoin sector, with AI tokens, ai16z, & Fartcoin following the trend.
In light of this broader trend, the Solana meme coin also dropped from a $2.6 billion market cap despite having strong sentiment, high mindshare, and significant inflows. The market expert adds, “This isn’t about the token – it’s about the market.”

Fartcoin Price Target: $1.4 Or $0.35 Ahead?
At the time of reporting, FARTCOIN price witnessed a 10.5% drop in value over the past day and is currently trading at $0.4662. The coin’s intraday low and high were $0.4126 and $0.5166, respectively. Crypto traders and investors remain bullish in the wake of the abovementioned smart money accumulations, expecting a recovery ahead.
However, the current crypto market trend has presented altcoins and meme coins with substantial pressure. In light of this trend, market analyst Vegeta further took to X, spotlighting that the range from $0.39 to $0.69 remains vital to confirm a bullish or bearish run ahead.
A sustained break above $0.69 could pave the way for further gains, and thus a $1 price target, given the asset sees renewed market interest as seen with the abovementioned buying by smart whales. Conversely, a slip below $0.39 may bring further downside pressure to the asset.

A recent Fartcoin price analysis by CoinGape revealed that the token witnessed a drop amid market interest shifting toward the TRUMP token. As per the analysis, the meme coin significantly lost its market cap amid TRUMP’s launch as liquidity from the broader Solana meme coin sector shifted to the new token.
Nevertheless, with smart whales buying in action, a market sentiment shift could be witnessed ahead. The analysis further revealed that a recovery above $1.00 could signal renewed confidence, thus paving the way for $1.4, given buyers sustain the movement.

When Will Altcoins Selling Stop? Is This Final Dump Before Pump?
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Altcoins-.webp.webp)
The altcoins market continues to face strong selling pressure as top assets like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA) have all corrected 3-4% today. Market analysts believe that there could be some more pain ahead, expecting the Bitcoin dominance to peak at 71% before the actual altseason begins.
Will the Brutal Selloff In Altcoins Continue?
Altcoins have been showing major weakness and have been volatile to macro developments. Earlier this week, the broader crypto market came under strong selling pressure following fears of the Trump trade war. Furthermore, the recovery in the past few days has been only partial, considering the magnitude of the fall.
The latest 10x Research report mentions that there’s an inherent weakness in the Bitcoin price movement, which can spill over to altcoins as well. Also, macro developments like the Fed’s decision to delay interest rate cuts and declining US Dollar liquidity have discouraged crypto traders from increasing their exposure in the market and looking forward to more favorable conditions. Furthermore, the report mentions:
“Bitcoin has staged a partial rebound, and Ethereum’s sharp drop was amplified by option gamma hedging and futures liquidations, past large ETH liquidations have not historically led to sustained recoveries. However, weak technical factors suggest further downside risk remains”.
Bitcoin Dominance To First Reach 71%?
Prominent crypto analyst Rekt Capital has highlighted key trends in Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), sparking discussion on its future trajectory. Rekt Capital emphasized that historically, whenever Bitcoin Dominance enters the 58-71% macro range, it has consistently revisited the 71% resistance level.

After reaching this 71% peak, the analyst predicts that it would open the gates for an altcoin window. However, the analyst noted that during this period of rising Bitcoin dominance, a strong pullback of 5-10% is possible in altcoins. He noted:
“These Altcoin Windows may progress in line with Altcoin Hype Cycles, whereby increases in Altcoin valuations occur during the second half of respective Quarters It’s just that these Altcoin Windows (i.e. retraces in Bitcoin Dominance) may be 5-10% deep during the macro Bitcoin Dominance uptrend”
After reaching the peak of 71%, Bitcoin’s dominance will decline. This is when the actual altseason will begin, noted the analyst. As of press time, the Bitcoin price is trading 0.5% down at $97,320 levels with a daily trading volume of around $48 billion.
Market Analysts Remain Optimistic
Despite the recent turbulence in the crypto market, crypto market analysts remain hopeful of an altcoin rally moving ahead. Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto has shared an optimistic update on the altcoin market, highlighting the formation of a significant cup and handle pattern on the charts. “Most aren’t prepared for what’s next,” the analyst stated.

A Memecoin No More, But A ‘Tech Powerhouse’
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/a_34a271.jpg)
Shiba Inu is currently one of the top meme coins, with a market cap of $9.2 billion, trailing the other “top dog-themed coin,” Dogecoin. When meme coins pump, SHIB is one of the popular tokens that surge and dominate market activity.
For Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu lead developer, their token must not be categorized under “meme coin” but as a “technology powerhouse.”
In a Twitter/X post shared last Tuesday, Kusama argued that Shiba Inu has transformed into a utility-driven crypto project and should no longer be listed under the meme coin category.
When they say Shib is a meme, now you have proof we are actually a technology powerhouse #SHIBARMY https://t.co/0uM0iHeZBy
— Shytoshi Kusama™ (@ShytoshiKusama) February 4, 2025
Shiba Inu: A Tech Powerhouse With Utility?
Kusama boldly claimed in a recent tweet to the crypto community that Shiba Inu now boasts an array of use cases and no longer belongs to the meme coin category.
For the developer, their token is now a technology powerhouse. Kusama’s pronouncements came when the project completed its collaboration with the United Arab Emirates. UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has agreed with SHIB to promote Web 3.0 solutions in energy, infrastructure, and other sectors.
According to a company release, the partnership taps into the crypto project’s extensive investment in Web 3.0. It aims to improve public service efficiency, governance models, and the promotion of green infrastructure.
The public disclosure also focused on the memecoin’s Operational System, which aims to streamline the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure’s developments and projects.
Shiba Inu Gets Nod From UAE Official Over Collaboration
Shiba Inu’s team received praises from the undersecretary of the Energy and Petroleum Affairs, Sharif Al Olama. According to Al Olama, this recent collaboration with Shiba Inu will boost his country’s investment in innovative digital services. He also explained that the partnership is an essential milestone in the country’s efforts to reshape national services.
In a statement, the UAE government said it wants to lead the race in innovation. By partnering with Shiba Inu, it will be able to shape a great future anchored on sustainability, digital excellence, and connectivity.
Shiba Inu Now Boasts An Expanding Ecosystem
Shiba Inu has consistently expanded its use cases and ecosystem and now competes with other projects. The project boasts a multi-functional blockchain with AI-focused solutions, allowing users to easily move from Web 2.0 to 3.0.
Also, the project’s ecosystem now supports an L2 blockchain, plenty of NFT projects, Web 3.0 gaming, and a host of DeFi protocols, all backed by proprietary technology. According to Kusama, its partnership with UAE underscores the project’s commitment to supporting innovative tech solutions.
