Ethereum Holds Firm at $2,450 as AlphaPepe Presale Gains Momentum

Ethereum's price has been holding steady at $2,450 as investors wait for a clear breakout. Meanwhile, AlphaPepe's presale is gaining attention, offering an earlier-cycle opportunity with faster upside potential.

AlphaPepe has raised over $2.54 million in Stage 20 of its presale, with more than 11,300 holders participating before the DEX launch in Q1 2027. The project offers AI-powered trading tools and a utility-focused token contract, with a listing price set at $0.08.

Ethereum's bulls are waiting for stronger ETF demand, cleaner risk appetite, and a decisive reclaim of resistance levels before targeting higher prices. However, AlphaPepe provides an alternative entry point for investors seeking faster returns.
