Nigeria’s crypto traders are keeping a close eye on three altcoins that have surged in visibility over the past week: Portal To Bitcoin (PTB), CREPE, and PEPE. The trend comes as the broader digital asset market adds 3% to its global market cap in the past seven days, reflecting renewed momentum across multiple tokens.
Portal To Bitcoin (PTB) — Hot Start, But Caution Ahead
Portal To Bitcoin has been one of the biggest standouts. After its mainnet launch on September 3, PTB’s token price has rallied to $0.0534, marking a nearly 25% gain in seven days.
On Wednesday, PTB logged an additional 27% intraday spike, but analysts warn that falling trading volume could put the brakes on this rally. Daily volume dropped 32% to $122 million, signaling that profit-taking may be outpacing fresh demand.
When prices rise while volume drops, it often indicates a weakening trend. If this divergence persists, PTB could slip below $0.0476. On the flip side, if buying pressure returns, bulls could attempt to push the token above $0.0550.
CREPE — Buyers Take the Lead
BNB-chain token CREPE has also captured attention in Nigeria. Trading at $0.00001011, it notched 3% gains in the past 24 hours.
Market indicators are flashing bullish signals. The Elder-Ray Index, which gauges the balance between buyers and sellers, shows a positive reading at 0.000002205 — meaning buyers are currently in control.
If demand continues, CREPE could test resistance near $0.00001167. But if traders rush to book profits, the token risks sliding back toward $0.000005500.
PEPE — Meme Coin Momentum
Finally, Solana-based meme coin PEPE remains a crowd favorite. At $0.00001060, PEPE is holding above its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) — a sign that bullish momentum is still intact.
Should buying pressure stay strong, PEPE could challenge resistance at $0.00001070 and potentially climb toward $0.00001269. However, if profit-taking accelerates, the token may retreat toward $0.00000830.
Nigeria’s Growing Altcoin Appetite
Nigeria is one of the most active crypto markets in Africa, with traders frequently gravitating toward both emerging tokens and established names. This week’s spotlight on PTB, CREPE, and PEPE underscores how quickly market sentiment can shift as investors chase new opportunities.
