Bitcoin Rally Sees Light Profit-Taking as AlphaPepe Presale Builds Momentum

Bitcoin's recent rally has seen relatively light profit-taking from holders, according to Glassnode's on-chain report. In contrast, AlphaPepe is gathering buyers before its first public market appearance.

The report found that weekly profit-taking during Bitcoin's latest rise was only a fraction of the levels seen at the 2024 and 2025 tops. The majority of recent BTC buyers were in profit yet did not sell heavily, supporting the recovery but also leaving room for potential selling as prices continue to rise.

AlphaPepe is currently in Stage 20 of its presale, with a price of $0.03111 per ALPE token. Once the current allocation fills, the next tier will cost more for the same base allocation, and AlphaPepe's first public exchange trade is still ahead. The team has announced four CEX partnerships and is expected to close its presale before a Q1 2027 DEX launch.
