PEPE Breakout Ahead? Analysts Eye 100% Upside

PEPE MEMECOIN

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Crypto analysts spotlighted Pepe (PEPE) as a high-potential breakout candidate, drawing attention to its current chart structure that mirrors its late October 2024 consolidation range. The memecoin, which surged an eye-popping 1,435% year-over-year in 2024, opened that year at $0.0000013 before rallying to exponential heights.

However, as of mid-April 2025, PEPE is trading nearly 61% below its Q1 2025 opening—a sign of broader market corrections. Despite this decline, technical analysts are tracking a familiar pattern on the 1-day chart: a compressed price structure eerily similar to the one that preceded PEPE’s 227% rally in November 2024, when it peaked at $0.00002597.

This deja vu in chart formation has fueled speculation about whether another parabolic move is on the horizon. A closer look at on-chain activity adds to the intrigue. Historically, spikes in PEPE’s active addresses—from an average of 2,500 to over 20,000 in mid-November—have acted as leading indicators of bullish momentum. Currently, active addresses hover at 2,587, consistent with previous consolidation phases before explosive breakouts.

Yet, while the technicals paint a hopeful picture, fundamentals tell a more complex story. According to Coinglass, PEPE’s Open Interest (OI) in futures markets has jumped by nearly 5%, now sitting at $301.48 million—surpassing levels seen before its November rally. This surge in leveraged positions has fueled a 20% weekly gain, but without strong spot market support, the memecoin remains vulnerable.

Analysts warn that absent organic dip-buying activity, PEPE’s rally could trigger liquidation cascades—handing the advantage to short-sellers. The ongoing rise appears driven more by leveraged liquidity than sustained investor accumulation.

In short, while PEPE’s historical breakout patterns suggest a possible 100% upside, market participants should tread carefully. Without supporting fundamentals, this speculative momentum may not hold, reinforcing the need for measured optimism and tight risk controls in an increasingly volatile memecoin arena.
