PEPE Whales Go On Massive 720B Shopping Spree Amid Campaign For New ATHs, Is It Time To Get In?

Pepe (PEPE) has recently grabbed the headlines, having hit a new all-time high (ATH) this week. The meme coin has also drawn the attention of crypto whales who have accumulated the crypto token lately. Whales accumulating the meme coin will suggest that now might be a good time to buy PEPE, but that might not be the case. 

Crypto Whales Buy 720 Billion PEPE Tokens

On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain recently drew the crypto community’s attention to a whale who purchased 520 billion PEPE from the crypto exchange Binance. This move might, however, have been motivated by the fear of missing out (FOMO), as Lookonchain noted that this trader hasn’t always made the smartest investment moves, having lost $6.1 million so far. 

Meanwhile, on-chain data shows another whale who bought over 200 billion PEPE tokens through the trading firm Cumberland. Irrespective of their intention, crypto whales accumulating a crypto token usually paints a bullish outlook for the coin in question. Based on this, crypto investors will usually assume that this is an excellent time to buy the meme coin in expectation of further price surges. 

However, this might not be a good time to buy, as data from IntoTheBlock suggests that a price dump may be imminent for PEPE before it makes another move to the upside. The market intelligence platform revealed that 100% of PEPE holders were in profit thanks to the meme coin hitting a new ATH.

Given such development, many of these holders are expected to book profits from their PEPE investment, leading to a wave of sell-offs that could negatively impact the meme coin’s price. Therefore, those looking to invest in PEPE right now may be better off waiting for PEPE to bottom out from this selling pressure before purchasing the meme coin. 

Still Has Enough Bullish Momentum To Go

Crypto analyst and trader Rachid Crypto recently highlighted several factors that suggest that PEPE has yet to reach its peak. The analyst noted that the “mega meme cycle” and altcoin season are yet to begin. These are events that could still spark a further rally in the meme coin’s price. 

Furthermore, PEPE is yet to be listed on major crypto trading platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood. That means there is still a lot of liquidity that could flow into the meme coin’s ecosystem. PEPE’s price will likely enjoy an upward trend whenever these trading platforms decide to list the meme coin. 

Meanwhile, Rachid Crypto also stated that Ethereum will surpass its ATH, meaning that PEPE’s price will benefit from ETH’s run when this happens. PEPE’s price is known to have some correlation with Ethereum’s and will most likely enjoy a significant rally as Ethereum’s price picks up. 

At the time of writing, PEPE is trading at around $0.00001056, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

GameStop Stock And Wolverine Memecoins Explode As Roaring Kitty Returns To The Spotlight

GameStop, the video game retailer that took Wall Street by storm in 2021, has once again become the talk of the town as its share price surges 100%. 

Fueling this rally is the return of the influential social media figure Keith Gill’s “Roaring Kitty.” After a long hiatus, Roaring Kitty’s recent activity on social platforms, including an image and video, has ignited excitement among investors and triggered a renewed frenzy for GameStop’s meme stock and the emerging world of memecoins. 

GameStop Memestock Frenzy

The meme-stock phenomenon gained widespread attention in 2021 when cash-rich investors pumped up the stock market and bet against short-selling hedge funds. 

Keith Gill’s “TheRoaringKitty” account and the subreddit “WallStreetBets” played a pivotal role in the meme stock frenzy, driving stocks like GameStop and AMC Entertainment to surge over 1,000% by the end of the same year. 

While some early investors reaped rich returns, hedge funds such as Gabe Plotkin’s Melvin Capital Management suffered significant losses, leading to closures.

According to Bloomberg, short sellers betting against GameStop initially enjoyed gains in the year’s first four months. Still, the volatile nature of meme stocks quickly erased those paper gains. Per the report, “skeptics” were up an estimated $400 million from January to April before slipping into the red by Monday morning.

The percentage of GameStop shares sold short relative to those available for trading has remained at approximately 24%, a relatively high level for a typical company but significantly lower than the 140% levels witnessed during the 2021 mania. 

As GameStop’s shares gained momentum, the cost to bet against the company increased. Recent data from S3 indicates borrowing costs exceeding a 10% annual financing fee range.

Roaring Kitty’s Ripple Effect

Roaring Kitty’s influence extended beyond GameStop, as Wolverine-themed memecoins flooded various blockchains. In response to a social media post featuring a video of Marvel superhero Wolverine, more than 30 new tokens were launched on platforms like Ethereum and Solana, as data by Dextools shows. 

Notably, the newly minted “Roaring Wolverine” token on the Ethereum blockchain experienced an astonishing 80% surge within hours of its release.

Furthermore, the memecoin market has witnessed a notable resurgence, with tokens such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE), Dogwifhat (WIF), Floki Inu (FLOKI), and Bonk Inu (BONK) recording significant gains, according to CoinGecko data. 

For instance, PEPE, the market leader, surged by 15% in the past 24 hours, complementing its 20% uptrend over the previous week. It reached a new high of $0.00001077 during early Monday trading.

GameStop

Ultimately, GameStop’s meme stock resurgence, fueled by the return of Roaring Kitty, inflicted substantial losses on short sellers of the meme stock on Monday. 

The impact of Roaring Kitty’s social media presence has extended to the memecoin market, with several Wolverine-themed tokens experiencing significant surges.

Crypto Whale Spends $10.4 Million On PEPE, Do They Know Something You Don’t?

A crypto whale’s transaction involving the third-largest meme coin by market cap, PEPE, has drawn the crypto community’s attention. The magnitude of the transaction, coupled with some other whale transactions, suggests that it may be high time to pay more attention to PEPE. 

Crypto Whale Spends $10.4 Million On PEPE

On-chain analytics platform Spotonchain revealed a wallet (3eAaAC3C9) that had purchased 1.238 trillion PEPE from Binance at an average price of $0.000008424 ($10.4 million). This wallet then proceeded to withdraw the tokens in two transactions. On-chain data shows that the whale withdrew 322.5 billion PEPE in the first transaction and the remaining 915.85 billion PEPE in the second transaction. 

At the time of writing, the whale hasn’t moved the tokens, suggesting they may be looking to hold for the long term. Some notable smart traders look to have been accumulating the meme coin lately, most likely in anticipation of significant price moves from it. Spotonchain also recently revealed two whales that had withdrawn 660.7 billion PEPE from Binance and MEXC. 

The platform also mentioned another whale that withdrew 322.48 billion PEPE ($2.68 million) from Binance for the first time. More recently, Spotonchain drew the crypto community’s attention to a smart trader who has been profiting from the meme coin since last year. This trader is said to have completed 8 trades and realized a cumulative profit of $917,000. 

Seeing how PEPE has performed since the start of the year, these whales’ interest in the meme coin isn’t surprising. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that PEPE has made a year-to-date (YTD) gain of over 500%, and this bullish momentum looks to be far from over. Interestingly, many traders have yet to jump on the the wave, as just over 200,000 persons hold the meme coin. 

Price To Hit New All-time High (ATH) Soon

Crypto analyst Plazma recently suggested that PEPE could soon hit a new all-time high. PEPE’s current ATH is at $0.00001074, with the meme coin trading just 20% below this price level. Crypto analyst Yazan also hinted that meme coin would soon hit a new all-time high, asking his followers if they were ready for this to happen. 

PEPE is currently ranked as the thirtieth largest crypto token by market cap and is likely to climb higher if it eventually hits a new ATH. Crypto analyst and trader Murad believes that the meme coin could rise to the top 10 crypto tokens by market cap since he predicted that PEPE could flip Shiba Inu (SHIB) and possibly Dogecoin (DOGE).

At the time of writing, the meme coin is trading at around $0.000008615, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

PEPE Chart Heats Up: Crypto Analyst Calls It One Of The Most Attractive

Cold Blooded Shiller (@ColdBloodShill), a well-known figure in the crypto analysis community, recently shared a technical analysis of the PEPE/USDT pair on Binance, marking it as one of the most promising charts in the current market landscape. With his analysis, posted to his 272,000 followers on X, he describes the potential movements of PEPE, both bullish and bearish, as it approaches a critical juncture on its trading chart.

Why PEPE Is One Of The Most Attractive Crypto’s Right Now

The chart, set on a four-hour time frame, details PEPE’s price action and its interaction with significant technical levels. A key focal point of Shiller’s analysis is the resistance-turned-support zone between approximately $0.0000063 and $0.0000062. This level, highlighted in green, previously acted as a strong resistance zone, and its conversion to support suggests a foundational shift in market sentiment towards PEPE.

PEPE price analysis

Moreover, PEPE is currently approaching a crucial resistance marked by a descending trend line in red, indicating a potential breakout point. However, Shiller cautiously notes that while the asset is on the verge of breaking this downtrend, there’s a risk of what he terms a “fakeout.” This scenario could see the price initially breaking above the trend line only to retract back below it, potentially leading to a decline of about 13% towards the established support zone at $0.0047423.

Should this support hold against market volatility—a common challenge in the crypto trading sphere—it may serve as a springboard for PEPE. Shiller speculates a possible rally that could result in a 47.47% increase from the support level, targeting an upper price level of $0.000011. Such a movement would not only confirm the strength of the current support but also signify a strong bullish market phase for PEPE.

The analysis also pays close attention to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering near the 50 mark, a neutral territory that indicates the asset is neither overbought nor oversold. This positioning suggests the potential for significant price movement in either direction, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming potential breakout or fakeout scenario.

Cold Blooded Shiller’s analysis concludes with a nod towards taking a chance on PEPE if it begins to show signs of a firm breakout. His detailed observation and the technical markers he highlights suggest that, despite potential risks, the reward could indeed be substantial should favorable conditions prevail.

“PEPE [is] one of the sexiest looking charts out there right now. Consolidating above it’s former significant level. Does it have the chance for lower and some fuckery with a fakeout? Yes. Is it worth the opportunity shot if it starts to breakout? Absolutely yes,” he stated.

At press time, PEPE was trading at $0.000006976. Thus, the meme coin is approaching the 200-EMA at $0.000006677. If this support does not hold, a retest of the red support zone seems plausible.

Crypto Expert Says Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, PEPE, Others Are About To Explode

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has laid a bullish narrative for altcoins, predicting that these crypto tokens will make a significant run of theirs soon. This prediction is based on his belief that altcoins are still undervalued compared to the flagship crypto, Bitcoin. 

Crypto Analyst Says Altcoins Are About To Explode

Michaël van de Poppe mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that “there is still around 40-60% market capitalization to gain for the altcoins.” In a subsequent X post, he noted that the valuations of these crypto tokens in their BTC pairs are still relatively low, and that suggests that “strength is still to come,” he claimed. 

The analyst believes that the valuation of these altcoins should be done using their “Bitcoin values” and no other way. If that is done, he remarked that one will be able to see that “most altcoins are still heavily undervalued compared” to the flagship crypto. Meanwhile, he hinted that altcoins will enjoy these significant gains once Bitcoin consolidates. 

In a video posted on his YouTube Channel, Michaël van de Poppe elaborated on the correlation between Bitcoin and these altcoins. The analyst stated that Bitcoin hitting new highs means that there is more money in the market and that this money will rotate to other crypto tokens soon enough. 

Once that happens, he expects these altcoins to make significant returns that might be underestimated because of the bear market stigma. Meanwhile, Michaël van de Poppe predicts that altcoin season will come in different rounds. The first one will see these crypto tokens coming close to their all-time high (ATH) or even breaking it, as seen with some already. 

The Best Time To Have Bought Altcoins 

Michaël van de Poppe had previously prepared his followers for this imminent altcoin season when he advised them on the right time to buy these crypto tokens. Back then, he mentioned that the best time to invest in altcoins was “6-10 months prior to the Bitcoin Halving.”

The analyst called that one correctly, seeing as altcoins have made significant runs since then alongside Bitcoin. AI and Meme coins, in particular, have led the way, with tokens like the foremost meme coins, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), seeing a significant increase in their market cap. 

Despite the tremendous run these tokens have made so far, there still seems to be an opportunity for investors to position themselves, considering that Michaël van de Poppe mentioned that they are still undervalued.

PEPE Ready To Make A Comeback? On-chain Indicators Have The Answer

The PEPE meme coin has seemingly faded into the shadow as new and exciting meme coins make it to the fore. This can be attributed to the likes of BONK and other Solana ecosystem meme coins that have taken the attention away from the Ethereum ecosystem. However, as excitement around these new meme coins begins to wane, expectations fall back to the leaders of the market, one of which is PEPE, who could be getting ready to make a comeback.

What On-Chain Indicators Say About PEPE

On-chain indicators are one way to know if investor interest is turning toward a particular cryptocurrency, in this case, PEPE. These indicators include things like Weighted Sentiment, Transactions Volumes, New Holders, etc. In this case, the focus is on the Weighted Sentiment, which measures sentiment across social media platforms to figure out how crypto investors are viewing a coin.

This indicator can be useful, especially in times like these when there are no clear indicators of where the price of a coin could be headed next. So, by checking what investors are saying about PEPE on social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), one can get a good idea of where the price may be headed next.

According to the Weighted Sentiment by the on-chain analytics tracker Santiment, PEPE is looking quite bullish. The indicator takes into account the mentions of PEPE on social media platforms over the past week, and it shows that there has been a significant uptick in the positive sentiment that is associated with the meme coin.

 

 PEPE

While it is not the highest that the indicator has been since the year began, it is still sitting at a considerably high level, suggesting a turn in the average sentiment. This also coincides with a drastic rise in the holdings of the largest PEPE whales, showing a willingness to accumulate at the current levels.

Daily Trading Volume Sees A Significant Jump

The Weighted Sentiment is not the only PEPE metric that has seen a significant increase lately. In the same vein, the daily trading volume for the meme coin has been on the rise as well. As data from CoinMarketCap shows, the meme coin’s volume is up approximately 62% in the last day, bringing it to $89.8 million at the time of writing.

Such a rise in volume can either point to buying or selling, but seeing that the PEPE price has managed to hold steady over this time period, it suggests that there is more buying than selling. Given this, it could point to bulls finally establishing support and marking $0.0000009 as a buy level.  If this general bullish sentiment continues, then the meme coin could be looking toward a recovery to $0.000001, which would translate to a 10% move from here.

Due to its decline over the last month, PEPE has lost its position as the third-largest meme coin in the space. It is currently sitting at fifth position behind the likes of BONK and CorgiAI.

Top 5 Meme Coins That Are Outperforming The Altcoin Rally

The altcoin market rally has been the talk of the crypto community lately and it has been with good reason. Amid this rapid rise of cryptocurrencies across the board, meme coins have been doing well. But just like any asset class, there are some that have performed better than others.

CorgiAI (CORGIAI) Leads Meme Coins Gains

CorgiAI (CORGIAI) is an interesting take on the Dog meme coins. But instead of using the widely popular Shiba Inu breed, the project chose the Corgi breed for their purposes and this seems to be working out well. In the last day, CorgiAI has dominated meme coin gains, rising over 56% in this time.

Its figures on the 7-day chart are even more impressive, as data from CoinGecko shows that the asset rose $86.8 in just seven days. CorgiAI is now the 11th-largest meme coin in the space after its market cap crossed $36.29 million.

Bonk (BONK): The Solana Altcoin Making Waves

The Solana native Bonk (BONK) coin is one of the top meme coins after a massive run earlier in 2023. In the current ‘altcoin season’, it has performed very well, rising 29% in one day. Its 7-day gains are the closest to CorgiAI at 76.7%.

On the shorter time frame, ie the 1-hour chart, BONK is actually outperforming the rest of the meme coins. Its price is already up 11.3% in the last hour at the time of this writing. This could suggest a further run in the near future for the meme con.

HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu (ETH) BITCOIN

This meme coin is an embodiment of the most ridiculous parts of crypto and how anything can surge in the market. The coin which is the combination of popularly recognized names in pop culture, politics, and crypto started rising a few months ago, garnering a healthy following while at it.

It moved rapidly enough that it is now one of the largest meme coins in the space, rising 19% in the last day alone. Despite seeing 2.5% losses on the weekly chart, its market cap is still sitting at $137.76 million, making it the 7th-largest meme coin by market cap.

Dogelon Mars (ELON) Maintains Prominence Among Meme Coins

This meme coin named after two of the most recognizable names when it comes to meme coins (Elon Musk and Dogecoin) has persisted even through the worst bear trends, and now it is continuing to show strength.

Coming just behind HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu (ETH) BITCOIN, ELON has recorded daily gains of 16.7%, with weekly gains of 14.4%. It currently holds the 8th position among the largest meme coins in the space.

Memecoin (MEME): New Kid On The Block

Coming in 5th on this list is the newly released Memecoin (MEME). This meme coin was developed by the 9Gag team and initially saw a retracement on its launch gains. However, the tide is starting to turn as MEME’s 24-hour gains rise to 16.4%.

Given that this is a new meme coin, there are currently no weekly figures. However, just like BONK, the meme coin is performing well on the hourly chart after rising 7.6% in the last hour at the time of this writing.

Top Meme Coins Didn’t Make The List

The top meme coins in the space, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE), did not make the list of the outperforms. But that does not mean that they have not done well. As data from CoinGecko shows, all three of these cryptocurrencies are up at least 4% in the last day.

DOGE has seen the lowest gains of the trio during this time with gains of 4%. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu is on a higher level with 5.3% gains. PEPE is the best performer so far after rising 13.1% to reclaim the $0.0000013 level.

PEPE Roars Ahead: Dominates SHIB And DOGE With Record-Breaking 6.9T Burn

In the ongoing frenzy surrounding meme coins that have captivated the cryptocurrency market throughout 2023, PEPE has experienced a significant resurgence. 

After a prolonged decline from July 14 to October 3, the memecoin halted its downtrend and entered an accumulation phase. Subsequently, it embarked on a renewed bullish uptrend starting on October 20, outperforming Ethereum-based altcoin Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Elon Musk-backed Dogecoin (DOGE) by a significant margin. 

As a result of this uptrend, PEPE has reclaimed its position in the top 100 list of cryptocurrencies, currently ranking 96th.

Bitcoin’s Surge Beyond $35,000 Sparks Market Uptrend

This surge in value has been largely influenced by the market leader, Bitcoin (BTC), which surpassed the $35,000 mark on Tuesday. 

For many, the current uptrend is driven by anticipation of the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), which could potentially bring a new wave of capital into the market.

Furthermore, Dogecoin is among the five popular meme coins influenced by Bitcoin’s rise to $35,000. Shiba Inu also experienced a 5.9% gain and is currently trading at $0.00000765, following a similar pattern to DOGE.

In a significant development, the dev team behind PEPE announced on X (formerly Twitter) that approximately 6.9 trillion $PEPE tokens, worth around $6,000,000, have been burned. 

Additionally, a new team of advisors has been brought on board to guide the future direction of Pepe. The original team is exploring using the remaining 3.79 trillion tokens, attributed to the Centralized Exchange (CEX) multi-sig wallet, for strategic partnerships and marketing opportunities. 

The PEPE community can expect regular updates on future token burns, movements, or uses through Twitter and the official telegram channel.

PEPE Price Skyrockets By 25.83% In 24 Hours

As of today, the price of Pepe (PEPE) stands at US$0.000000930549, with a 24-hour trading volume of $455,035,042.79. This represents a significant price increase of 25.83% in the last 24 hours and a 43.63% increase over the past 7 days. 

With a circulating supply of 420 billion PEPE, Pepe currently holds a market capitalization of $398,014,904.

On the other hand, SHIB is currently priced at $0.00000739, with a 24-hour trading volume of $314,695,140.13. 

Over the past 24 hours, SHIB has experienced a price increase of 2.72% and a 6.04% increase over the past 7 days. With a circulating supply of 590 billion SHIB, Shiba Inu has a market capitalization of US$4,348,847,496.

Meanwhile, DOGE is trading at $0.065989, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1,064,277,555.26. Over the past 24 hours, DOGE has seen a price increase of 3.02% and an 11.02% increase over the past 7 days. 

With a circulating supply of 140 billion DOGE, Dogecoin holds a market capitalization of US$9,327,269,145.

The recent price movements and market activities of these meme coins reflect the renewed confidence and interest in the cryptocurrency market. Furthermore, these numbers solidify PEPE’s position as the standout performer in the market.

Meme Coins That Are Ripe For The Picking Following $3.2 Billion Crash

As the crypto market suffered major losses due to the bear season, meme coins were not left out. These tokens which are often created in line with memes on the internet saw their cumulative market cap drop by $3.2 billion in 2023. This decline has paved the way for possibly buying these highly popular tokens at what could be considered a discount.

Dogecoin (DOGE): King Of The Meme Coins

Dogecoin (DOGE) has managed to retain its title as the king of the meme coins over the years but that has not helped the altcoin to dodge the bloodbath. Despite starting out the year 2023 strong and trading close to the $0.1 level, it has succumbed to the seemingly never-ending bear pressure and fallen around 50% since then.

Dogecoin is currently trading at one of its lowest points since the year began, which could signal a prime time for purchasing the meme coin. According to data from Messari, DOGE’s price is currently over 91% lower than its all-time high price of $0.738. This means that a return to its all-time high in a bull market would be an almost 10x return on investment from its current $0.059 level.

Shiba Inu (SHIB): The DOGE Killer

When Shiba Inu first came out in 2020 as an alleged ‘Dogecoin killer’, crypto investors did not take it seriously. It wasn’t until it mounted one of the most impressive rallies of 2021 that investors saw its potential. Eventually, it grew to become the second-largest crypto among the meme coins, clocking an over $10 billion market cap at one point.

However, just like its biggest competitor Dogecoin, Shiba Inu has been subject to unfavorable conditions which have seen its price decline rapidly. It is almost 92% below its October 2021 all-time high of $0.0000869. So just like Dogecoin, a return to its all-time high price will also see SHIB return almost 10x on its current price of $0.00000706.

SHIB also remains a fierce competition for Dogecoin after the team released their very own Layer 2 blockchain called Shibarium. This blockchain, built atop the Ethereum network, has put it in the league of large players such as Polygon (MATIC), Arbitrum (ARB), and Optimism (OP).

Pepe Coin (PEPE): The New Kid On The Block

Pepe Coin (PEPE) is currently only a few months old but it has already shown that it deserves to be listed among the top meme coins. PEPE’s run-up to over $1.4 billion in a bear market was nothing short of historical. But even this new kid on the block could not completely shake off the bears.

PEPE’s market cap has fallen by over $1.2 billion since it hit its all-time high in May, which could present a buying opportunity. Now, given PEPE’s performance in a bear market, it is expected to rally even more in a bull market.

Since it is currently 84% below its all-time high price, a return to that level from here would mean an 8x return. The coin also commands a significant following with 520,000 followers on Twitter, making it one of the most followed meme coins in the space.

What Is Behind The 16% PEPE Price Recovery And Will It Continue?

Over the last week, the PEPE price has emerged as one of the best performers in the crypto market. This followed a long period of drawdown that dragged the meme coin’s price almost 90% below its June 2023 all-time high. This prolonged bear period coupled with its declining momentum is why the price reversal has caught the market by surprise.

Social Discussions Around PEPE Rise

To figure out why the PEPE price has been on a rally at a time when the broader crypto market has suffered declines, let’s take a look at the social discussions around the token. In particular, a report from on-chain tracker Santiment shows the social media discussion trends of top meme coins.

Santiment’s report which was shared on X (formerly Twitter) points out that meme coins have not really been on the radar of traders, except for PEPE. As the chart shows, discussions around the PEPE meme token saw an uptick this week.

PEPE price recovery

It is the only meme coin whose social media discussions rose during the week with the likes of Dogecoin seeing their own metrics drop to 3-year lows. This uptick could present the reason behind the PEPE price recovery this week.

Usually, when investors start getting interested in a coin, they will often talk about it on social media platforms. Depending on whether investors are collectively bullish or bearish, it can cause a swing in the price toward either direction. In this case, the uptick in discussions coincides with the rise in price, suggesting a higher level of bullishness.

PEPE Price Rises 16% In One Week

PEPE’s double-digit surge this week saw the altcoin hit a local peak of $0.00000075 on Wednesday, resulting in one of its highest levels in September 2023. This rally has since lost momentum but the meme coin continues to maintain a good chunk of its gains.

The PEPE price is up more than 16% on the weekly chart and enjoying a 92% surge in its daily trading volume over the last 24 hours. This increase in trading volume also shines a light on the rising investor interest, which could suggest a continuation of the rally once the correction finds a bottom.

However, with most of the crypto market still deeply in the throes of the bear market, it’s unlikely that the rally would be able to continue for too long, presenting a hindrance. If the coin fails to establish support above $0.00000071, then all of this week’s gains could be wiped out by the time the weekend is over.
