Pepe (PEPE), one of the most prominent meme coins, is making headlines again after a strong 10% price surge over the past 24 hours. As bullish momentum builds, all eyes are on whether PEPE can break through the critical $0.000015 psychological resistance level. Here’s a detailed look at its recent price action and market dynamics.
Technical Outlook: Signs of a Bullish Reversal
On the daily chart, PEPE recently bounced off a crucial support near the 200-day EMA at $0.00001107, forming a long-tailed doji on May 31. This candle signaled a potential reversal, which has since played out with four consecutive bullish daily candles. The memecoin has reclaimed the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00001227, indicating short-term recovery.
Bullish momentum is also supported by the imminent formation of a golden cross between the 50-day and 200-day EMAs. Additionally, the 100-day and 200-day EMAs are trending upward, reinforcing the bullish setup. However, the RSI remains at 51 and has yet to show a definitive upward move. A break above the midline could validate sustained buying interest.
Key Resistance and Support Levels
Pepe now faces immediate resistance at $0.00001470, aligning with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. A successful breakout above this level could pave the way for a run toward $0.00001903, the 78.6% Fib level. On the downside, the key support remains at the 200-day EMA ($0.00001107), followed by the psychological $0.000010 level.
Holding above the 50% Fibonacci zone strengthens the case for further gains, but bulls must push through resistance to confirm a longer-term rally.

Derivatives Market Reflects Bullish Sentiment
The derivatives market is echoing the optimism seen in spot prices. Open interest has risen by 6.47% to $537.96 million, signaling increased participation. Furthermore, the OI-weighted funding rate has turned positive at 0.0095%, suggesting a growing number of bullish bets.
Notably, $2.33 million in short positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, compared to just $719.44k in longs. With a long-to-short ratio of 1.0165, sentiment appears tilted in favor of continued upward movement.
