3 Crypto to Watch This Week: Ethereum, Pi Network, and Solayer!

Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto market will be in the spotlight this week with a focus on trade talks between the US and China, new consumer inflation data, as well as the Consensus event in Toronto.

With Bitcoin (BTC) and most altcoins having risen more than 20% from their April lows, some cryptocurrencies worth keeping an eye on are Pi Network (PI), Ethereum (ETH), and Solayer (LAYER).

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum (ETH) price surged last week after the developers implemented the Pectra update which introduced 11 improvement proposals in areas such as account abstraction, validator balance, blob throughput, and validator deposits and withdrawals.

Ethereum (ETH) will take center stage this week as investors assess whether the upward trend will continue. If this trend continues, the prices of ERC tokens such as Pepe Coin (PEPE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Uniswap (UNI) are expected to follow suit.

On the daily chart (11/5/25), Ethereum (ETH) price has surged past the key resistance level at $2,132, which is the neck of the double-top pattern at $4,085. The price has also surpassed the 50-day and 100-day moving averages.

While this rally may continue, there is also a risk that the price will drop, retest $2,132, and then resume the uptrend. This performance is known as a break-and-retest and is one of the most powerful bullish signs for continuation.

Pi Network (PI)

The price of Pi Network (PI) surged parabolically as predicted last week. The price reached a new peak of $1.0670, its highest level since March 21, and 158% above its April low.

Pi Network (PI) will be in focus due to the upcoming Consensus event in Toronto, where the core team has promised to make a major announcement. Speculation has it that Pi Network (PI) will announce a listing on one or more major exchanges.

Other potential news is about project partnerships, tokenomics changes, or ecosystem funds to incentivize creators on its network.

Therefore, it is likely that Pi Coin’s price will continue to increase ahead of the announcement. The potential target in all of this is $1.8, the high point on March 13.

Solayer (LAYER)

Solayer, a staking network in Solana (SOL), did not join the latest crypto rally as its price plummeted to $1.2 from a high of $3.35. This drop reflects the decline in Mantra’s price caused by forced liquidations and insider selling.

Solayer’s price will be in the spotlight as the network conducts another token opening. On Monday (12/5/25), a token worth $32 million will be unlocked, of which $21 million will go to the community, while the rest will go to foundations.

Solayer has more token openings as it has a circulating supply of 210 million LAYER tokens against a total supply of 1 billion.

Token openings are often seen as very bearish as they introduce new coins to the market. Other token openings to look out for this week are Morpho, Aptos, Pendle, WhiteBit, and Arbitrum.

Overall, with various developments expected this week, the crypto market is predicted to experience a lot of movement. Investors and market watchers should keep an eye on Ethereum (ETH), Pi Network (PI), and Solayer (LAYER) as key indicators of the current market dynamics.
