March 2025 has arrived and so far, crypto traders are not pleased with how the year has gone. But will March be the month where the bullish performance of 2024 resumes?
This crypto price prediction examines the upcoming potential for three of the top projects, Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum. It also considers newer prospects, Solaxy and BTC Bull Token.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin has shown impressive strength over the past 48 hours, rallying to $86K after tapping lows of $78K on Friday.
Analyst Rekt Capital highlights that Bitcoin has followed a similar corrective chart pattern to previous pullbacks, having now retraced by 28%. In previous times, Bitcoin has bounced back from these corrections to new highs, and its recent strength indicates the same could be happening again.
Based on previous corrective waves, it took Bitcoin between 6-12 weeks to hit new highs after forming a bottom. Based on that, we could likely expect Bitcoin to range between $85-$100K through March, with a run toward new highs potentially occurring in April.

If you want to keep things simple and group corrective periods, Bitcoin has seen five major pullbacks in this cycle

Solana
Altcoins can operate in a different timeline to Bitcoin. Sometimes, Bitcoin ranging can be significantly bullish for altcoins, since the bulk of the market’s liquidity can be spread more widely.
Analyst Curb notes that $SOL has formed a bullish divergence on the 4-hour price chart and anticipates a break above a trendline resistance to follow. Per the analyst chart, $SOL could hit $200 in the coming two weeks, potentially leading to a price of $240 or higher by the end of March.

It’s also worth noting that a major bearish catalyst for Solana has passed this week. An additional 2.2% of the $SOL supply was unlocked and distributed to early investors on Saturday, yet the price has held steady.
It’s possible that many prospective investors held off buying Solana until the unlock, but they may begin buying again now that its price has held up well.
Ethereum
Ethereum has significantly underperformed in the past year compared to other cryptocurrencies, down 35%. However, it held relatively strong while Bitcoin crashed to $78K on Friday, showing that $2.2K is a well-defended support level.
Analyst Merlijn the Trader, suggests that ETH’s performance is mirroring that of 2017 and predicts that its price will now rally throughout the remainder of 2025.
According to the analyst, ETH could reclaim the $3K level in March and then continue pushing to a new all-time high (ATH) of $13K later this year.

It’s also worth noting that a deep-pocketed whale has recently placed a $123 million long on $ETH with 50x leverage. This is a risky move, and analysts speculate it could be someone with key knowledge on an upcoming event. If this is the case, there’s potential for $ETH to rally in the coming days.
Could These New Cryptos Outperform the Market Leaders?
Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum are three of the most recognisable and prominent cryptocurrencies on the market. This year could be bullish for the projects, but with the bull market also expected to end, many traders will be hoping for bigger gains than what these projects can offer.
This is why new altcoins often prove so popular. For example, a new project called Solaxy is showing massive demand. It’s building the world’s first Solana layer 2 blockchain. It will improve Solana’s transactional capabilities with off-chain computation and transaction bundling technology, making the ecosystem cheaper, faster, and more reliable.
The project is raising funds for development via a token presale, where it has raised a whopping $24.5 million so far.
Industry experts are paying close attention to Solaxy, with Miles G saying its price could 100x. This underlines the reason people are investing millions into the project. While Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum might be able to give between 2-4x gains this cycle, there’s potential for investors to make $1 million from a $10K investment with $SOLX.
Another presale project showing strength is BTC Bull Token. One of the most prominent trends of 2024 was meme coins, with projects from Dogwifhat to Peanut the Squirrel making millionaires. However, meme coins are highly volatile, and many are down significantly from their 2024 highs right now.
BTC Bull Token is a new meme coin that will pay holders Bitcoin and $BTCBULL rewards at key milestones on Bitcoin’s journey toward $1 million. This approach ties BTC Bull Token to Bitcoin’s performance, providing a more stable and potentially long-term alternative to other meme coins on the market.
It also has staking and burning mechanisms to help improve its supply and demand dynamics.
Given its relation to Bitcoin, the project is drawing attention from prominent figures in the Bitcoin community. For instance, the 99Bitcoins YouTube channel, which has over 700K subscribers, says $BTCBULL could yield 100x gains in 2025.
Just like Solaxy, these gains are only possible due to BTC Bull Token’s early stage with its presale ongoing. So far, the presale has raised $3 million.
