Dogecoin (DOGE) and Rexas Finance (RXS) Top Crypto Headlines, But One for the Wrong Reasons

The talking points on cryptocurrency have again been taken over by Dogecoin (DOGE). Its price movements have not caused any excitement among investors. Even though DOGE remains one of the most popular meme coins, it experienced worrying price movements lately. The coin’s value shrank lower than some crucial technical levels, implying there may be future drops. Conversely, Rexas Finance (RXS) seems to be creating a marketing frenzy with its pre-sale in its last phase and an optimistic listing on the way. Rexas seems poised to make big moves starting in 2025. All the while, DOGE is trying to stabilize itself in the market. Concerns Over Dogecoin’s Price Movement Currently, DOGE is trading at $0.265, which, per my technical indicators, is lower than the median price for the week. The support level at $0.28735 was very important for the bulls, but the inability to stay above it renders the coin vulnerable to decreasing even more. Some analysts state that if there is selling pressure for...

Solana (SOL) Price: Trading Under $150, Facing More Pressure, What’s Next?

Image
TLDR Solana (SOL) has been on a six-week downtrend, currently trading around $150, down from its peak of $294. A whale transferred 846,613 SOL (worth $127 million) to an unknown wallet, raising concerns about a potential sell-off. Technical indicators suggest SOL could drop further to around $109-$120 if it breaks below the $155 support level. A major token unlock of 11.2 million SOL (worth $1.7 billion) is scheduled for March 1, 2025, likely contributing to price pressure. Despite bearish trends, exchanges have seen a $77 million outflow of SOL in 24 hours, suggesting some whales may be accumulating. Solana (SOL), the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has been on a downward trend for six weeks straight. The digital asset is now trading at approximately $150, reflecting a steep drop from its yearly high of $294 reached in early 2025. This decline comes as a major whale moved large sums and a massive token unlock looms on the horizon. The decline intensified when a S...
