PEPE Frenzy: 100% Gains In 30 Days, But Can The Memecoin Keep Its Composure?

The cryptocurrency world is witnessing a familiar sight: a meme
coin on fire. PEPE, a token emblazoned with the internet’s favorite
frog, has skyrocketed in recent weeks, leaving investors wondering
if this is the dawn of a new era or a fleeting fad. Related

Recent Downturn PEPE On A Tear: New Highs And Whale Activity Over
the past month, PEPE has been on a tear, exceeding expectations and
leaving a trail of green for investors. The price triumphantly
reached a new all-time high, surging over 100% in just 30 days.
This astronomical rise translated to happy hodlers, with
IntoTheBlock data revealing that a whopping 97% were sitting pretty
in profit. CoinGecko data show that Pepe has risen 56% in the
previous week and 99% in the last month, recovering its position as
the third-largest meme coin by market capitalization from Dogwifhat
(WIF). The bullish momentum hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down.
The past 24 hours saw another surge of 3.7%, further propelling
PEPE to its current peak. This impressive performance has garnered
significant attention, not just financially, but also on social
media. The coin’s social volume has spiked, indicating a surge in
interest and online chatter. Adding fuel to the fire, a whale, a
term used for large investors with significant buying power, has
been making waves. Lookonchain, a blockchain analytics platform,
recently reported a whale withdrawing a staggering 500 billion PEPE
from Binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange. This mass
accumulation suggests a whale-sized vote of confidence in PEPE’s
future. Buying Frenzy Or Overheated Engine? While the recent price
increase and social media buzz are undoubtedly positive signs, some
analysts are urging caution. A closer look at technical indicators
reveals potential signs of an overheated market. The Chaikin Money
Flow (CMF), which measures buying and selling pressure, has
registered a decline. Similarly, the Money Flow Index (MFI) and
Relative Strength Index (RSI) are both hovering in the overbought
zone, suggesting PEPE’s price might be due for a correction.
Further complicating the picture is the presence of selling
pressure. While some investors are piling in, others might be
cashing out on their profits. Santiment, a crypto analytics
platform, observed a rise in PEPE’s exchange outflow last week,
indicating buying pressure. However, they also noted an increase in
supply on exchanges, suggesting some investors might be taking
advantage of the high price to sell. Potential Price Correction
NewsBTC analyzed PEPE’s daily chart to gauge the impact of this
potential selling pressure. Their analysis suggests that the price
might first fall to $0.0000122 before potentially finding support
and initiating another bull run. However, a deeper correction could
see PEPE plummet to $0.000010 or even lower. Related Reading: Shiba

Memecoin Meanhwhile, Pepe was still among the most traded
cryptocurrency assets over the previous day, according to data from
Binance, with only BNB Coin (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum
(ETH) surpassing it. Pepe continues to be the most traded meme
coin, surpassing popular coins such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Floki
(FLOKI), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). Featured image from ART street,
