The cryptocurrency market has witnessed some steep shifts as 2025 unfolds, as bears look to take charge of the market sentiment. Pepeto (PEPETO) is capturing attention amid a downturn for prominent tokens like Ripple (XRP) and Chainlink (LINK). 

As XRP battles declining prices and LINK struggles to hold critical price support levels, PEPETO has cemented itself as a rising star, backed by its innovative features and exponentially growing community engagement.

XRP Faces Selling Pressure Amid Hiring Push

XRP, a top performer in the market in November 2024, has faced notable setbacks in recent days. On January 8, the token’s price slid by 6% within the day, dropping to $2.2 after bulls failed to reclaim the $2.50 resistance level. The decline marks a continuation of XRP’s underperformance over the past three days, driven by rising selling pressure from long-term investors.

On-chain data reveals a significant selling spree since Saturday, dampening bullish sentiment despite Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s announcement of a 75% increase in US hiring. Per Coinglass updates, over $15 million in XRP was liquidated in the last 24 hours.

Ripple is aiming to leverage gains from President-elect Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly policies. Although the news was well-received by the community, it failed to influence long-term investors.

XRP’s ability to regain bullish momentum will likely hinge on reclaiming critical resistance levels in the coming weeks.

LINK Struggles After December Downturn

Chainlink is also facing hurdles, after a dramatic 200% surge in November last year was wiped out by a December downturn. Trading near the pivotal $20-$23 support level, LINK risks invalidating its bullish outlook if it closes below this key threshold.

The $23 level holds historical significance, marking the yearly high in March 2024 and aligning with critical Fibonacci levels. A breakdown below this point could signal a shift into bearish territory for LINK, which is what investors should be concerned about.

Despite a 2024 high of $30.94, the coin has struggled to regain upward momentum, casting doubt on the sustainability of its previous bullish trend. Analysts warn that a sustained close below $20 would confirm the recent breakout as a deviation, leaving LINK vulnerable to further declines in 2025.

PEPETO Shines Amid Market Turbulence

In stark contrast to the struggles of XRP and LINK, PEPETO is slowly growing into the market’s eye-candy. Launched as a tribute to the iconic Pepe the Frog meme, the token has gained traction with a market capitalization of more than $8 billion and a price of $0.000021.

PEPETO’s staking system has been a driving force behind its success. With over 19 trillion tokens staked and annual payouts exceeding 400%, the platform encourages long-term participation while enhancing network security. This innovative approach not only rewards holders with passive income but also contributes to the token’s stability.
