Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto market this week hinges on the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which has the potential to influence the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and trigger major price movements.

With inflation data expected to show a modest rise, investors are pinning their hopes on a possible interest rate cut which could boost bullish sentiment.

In this situation, three tokens-Pepe , Aptos , and Pi Network (PI)-are in the spotlight thanks to a combination of technical analysis and unique market triggering factors, according to Crypto News.

From the whale’s heavy accumulation on Pepe and the bullish pattern associated with Ethereum’s surge, to Pi Network bouncing at an important support area, and Aptos facing pressure from a token unlock amidst a downtrend, all three reflect the key themes and risks shaping crypto trading this week.

Pepe

Pepe became one of the crypto assets to watch this week as Ethereum’s price spiked, massive accumulation by whales, and an ascending triangle pattern formed.

Currently, whales control 9.02 trillion Pepe coins-a 10% increase in the last 30 days-while balances on crypto exchanges have plummeted.

On the other hand, Ethereum price has broken above $4,000, a trend that is likely to continue this week. Pepe and other ERC-based meme tokens usually perform well when Ethereum rallies.

On the daily chart (10/8/25), Pepe’s price has moved above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, and formed an ascending triangle pattern that often triggers strong breakouts. If the price is able to break the resistance at $0.000014, the potential for further gains will open up.

Pi Network

Pi Network is also on the list of interesting cryptos to watch this week after it managed to bounce towards an important resistance level. After falling to a record low of $0.3198 on August 2, the price is now back to $0.400.

These levels are important as they coincide with the low points in April and June this year. Pi Coin is also looking to break the 50-period moving average and is at the edge of a falling wedge pattern.

Under these conditions, the chances of a bullish breakout are quite high, with the next target at $0.6732-the highest peak last June. However, if the price drops below the $0.3198 support, the bullish scenario will be forfeited.

Aptos

Aptos is another crypto worth watching this week as the network will be unlocking $53.95 million worth of tokens-equivalent to 1.68% of the total circulating supply. Looking ahead, there will still be other token unlocks as there is currently only 51% of the total supply in circulation.

The daily chart (10/8) shows APT prices have been under pressure in recent years, plummeting from a peak of $15.2 in December to $4.60 currently.

Later, APT formed a descending channel pattern and was slightly below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages. This indicates that the downtrend is likely to continue until it touches the lower limit of the channel at around $4.
