Celestia Breaks Downtrend, PEPE Gains 20.6%, BlockDAG Raising $376M Pre-Launch

This week, the crypto market witnessed notable developments centered around three key names—Celestia (TIA), PEPE, and BlockDAG (BDAG)—each telling a distinct story of recovery, momentum, and pre-launch strength.

Celestia (TIA) has broken out of a prolonged downtrend that had persisted since late 2023. The breakout, described by market analyst Butterfly as “textbook perfect,” signals a potential reversal in sentiment and could set the stage for a move toward $5.50, nearly tripling its current price [1]. The breakout zone aligns with historical resistance turning into support, reinforcing the bullish case. Increasing trading volume further supports the move, suggesting traders are beginning to act on the potential upside. A retest of the channel’s upper boundary could accelerate gains.

PEPE, one of the leading meme coins on Ethereum, has surged 20.6% over the past week, currently trading near $0.000012. It is approaching the upper Bollinger Band and appears poised to retest its all-time high of $0.00002803. With billions in daily trading volume and strong liquidity, PEPE remains among the most actively traded meme coins, second only to Dogecoin. Technical indicators like the Chaikin Money Flow (0.13) suggest accumulation by large holders, while the Parabolic SAR has triggered a buy signal [2]. The next key price level to watch is the $0.00001263 resistance. A successful breakout, supported by volume, could bring PEPE closer to its historical peak.

BlockDAG (BDAG) continues to gain traction ahead of its official launch, having raised over $376 million in presale funding. Now in Batch 29 at $0.0276 per token and projected to reach a launch price of $0.05, early buyers have already seen a 2,660% return. The project has secured 20 confirmed exchange listings, including MEXC, BitMart, Coinstore, LBank, and XT.com, ensuring liquidity on launch day [3]. This is a significant achievement, as many pre-launch projects leave exchange details ambiguous. BlockDAG has also sold over 19,300 miners, generating $7.8 million in sales, and 25.2 billion tokens have been purchased, reflecting strong demand. Gamified features like the Buyer Battles initiative, which rewards the top daily buyer with unsold tokens, help maintain engagement. Additionally, the upgraded Dashboard V4 offers real-time tracking of wallet balances, referral performance, and price charts, making the presale experience more transparent and interactive.

Together, Celestia, PEPE, and BlockDAG represent three distinct narratives in the current market. Celestia offers a technical breakout after months of consolidation. PEPE reflects the resurgent interest in meme coins, driven by Ethereum’s broader strength and strong community sentiment. BlockDAG, meanwhile, demonstrates how a pre-launch project can build momentum through clear infrastructure, liquidity guarantees, and innovative engagement tools.

The common thread among these three is confidence—whether through chart patterns, market energy, or structural advantages—showing that progress and visibility can emerge even in a volatile environment. With $376 million raised, 20 confirmed exchange listings, and a presale that has already delivered strong returns, BlockDAG distinguishes itself as more than just speculative hype. Celestia and PEPE further highlight the diversity of narratives that continue to shape the crypto landscape.
