$PEPE is in free fall, plunging another 3% today as bearish charts indicate more pain ahead. The once-$11B memecoin has shed over 60% of its value in six months, leaving bulls scrambling.
Once a top-tier hype asset, the frog-themed token’s trading volume has cratered 24% in 24 hours, with analysts warning the worst may not be over.
Bloodbath in Memecoins: $PEPE Sinks While Whales Quietly Reshuffle Bags
However, it’s not only $PEPE that’s under pressure. The entire memecoin market appears to be in free fall.
From Dogecoin ($DOGE) and Shiba Inu ($SHIB) to $TRUMP, $FARTCOIN, $BONK, $FLOKI, and $WIF, nearly all major memecoins are logging red candles across both daily and weekly charts.
The memecoin sector, which recently peaked at over $60 billion in total market capitalization, has now dropped to around $53 billion.
Among these, $PEPE’s market structure is particularly alarming to some investors, as it struggled to post gains even during May’s broader crypto rally.
A crypto analyst recently flagged the $PEPE chart as “scary,” warning of a potential dip toward the long-standing support zone that has held throughout 2024.
Adding to the unease, on-chain data showed a newly created wallet withdrawing 500.6 billion $PEPE (worth $5.2 million) from Binance about 20 hours ago.
The same whale reportedly withdrew 695.19 billion $PEPE, valued at $5.77 million, and transferred 100 billion tokens to another associated wallet.
Whether this movement suggests dip-buying or preparation for a major dump remains unclear.
Trader Predicts $PEPE Could Dip 15% Before Exploding 150%—Here’s Why
Still, not everyone is bearish. One $PEPE bull has been capitalizing on the downtrend through short positions and has shared an Elliott Wave analysis, suggesting $PEPE is currently in wave (2) and could fall to $0.00008087, roughly a 15% decline from current prices.
However, the trader noted that if the weekly Stochastic RSI resets in the coming weeks, a strong rally could follow within 3–4 months.
CoinGlass data supports this view. The data shows that $PEPE’s open interest rose 7.6% in the past 24 hours, even as overall derivatives volume dropped 8%, indicating growing speculative activity.
Another analyst, Trench Trader, shared a bullish outlook, projecting a bounce from $0.00009885 before a climb to $0.00001362 and then $0.00001733, possibly revisiting $PEPE’s December 2024 highs.
$PEPE Holds $0.00001000—Can the Frog Leap 150% from Here?
The 1-hour $PEPE/$USDT chart reveals a consolidation phase just above the previous week’s high of $0.000012953.
After a strong rally, the price has pulled back and is now testing support around $0.00001000.
It has entered a Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone, which overlaps with minor support and the origin of the last bullish move, suggesting a potential bounce area.
If this zone holds, $PEPE could regain momentum, reclaiming the weekly high and pushing toward $0.00001350 or higher.
However, a breakdown below this FVG would undermine the bullish setup and could drive the price toward the previous weekly low near $0.00001035.
On the daily timeframe, the outlook remains more optimistic. $PEPE has formed a bullish structure following a breakout above a key daily resistance, which has now become firm support in the $0.00001000–$0.00001100 range.
An ascending trendline connecting recent higher lows reflects building bullish momentum, reinforced by a clean break from the former downtrend.
If this structure holds, $PEPE could target a move toward $0.00001593, with an upside potential of over 150% from current levels. Intermediate resistance is near $0.00001686.
