PEPE, the Solana-based memecoin that rocketed to fame last week, has hit a snag. After turning many into millionaires, the coin has been steadily dropping for the past three days, raising questions about its future.
A Rollercoaster Ride for PEPE
Just a week ago, PEPE was on a tear, surging over 500% in value. This wasn’t an isolated event. The return of meme stock legend Keith Gill on social media ignited a frenzy in both meme stocks and memecoins. Traders went wild, investors piled in, and euphoria reigned.
However, the hype proved fleeting, and as quickly as it arrived, it vanished, taking Gill and the market with it. Now, both meme stocks and coins are facing a reality check, with PEPE’s chart reflecting a stark decline.
Technical Analysis Paints a Bearish Picture
Technical indicators paint a worrying picture for PEPE. The PEPE/USDT chart is dominated by red candles, signifying a bearish trend with high trading volume. This suggests that “bears,” or investors betting on the price to fall, are currently in control.
Unless there’s a significant shift in market dynamics or external factors that empower the “bulls” (those expecting a price rise), PEPE’s descent might continue.
Is There Hope for PEPE?
Data from Coinglass reveals a silver lining. While the price drops, trading volume has actually increased by 14%, indicating heightened activity and potentially renewed interest among traders. However, a 10% decrease in open interest suggests some traders are cashing out, prioritizing profits over holding long-term.
What’s Next for PEPE?
There’s still a chance for a PEPE comeback. If the price holds above a crucial support level (around $0.00000900) and experiences a surge in buying volume, along with positive signals from technical indicators like MACD and RSI, a short-term recovery is possible.
At the time of writing, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) sits below 30, indicating PEPE is oversold. A rise in RSI above 30 would add weight to the recovery possibility.
Overall, PEPE seems to be consolidating, suggesting the decline could be temporary. However, only time will tell if the bulls can regain control and send PEPE soaring once again.
