Pepe Coin Skyrockets 17%, Traders Note 'Very Bullish' Technical Setup

Benzinga - by Khyathi Dalal, Benzinga Staff Writer.

Frog-themed meme coin Pepe (CRYPTO: PEPE) has rallied 17% in the past 24 hours amid surging whale transactions, edging closer to the valuation of its rival dogwifhat (CRYPTO: WIF).

What Happened: Full-time crypto trader Scient notes that Pepe is already breaking out from its one-day downtrend on lower time frames. However, he emphasizes that a clean break and close in a one-day time frame would be a strong indicator of a bullish continuation.

Scient also mentions a previous setup from two days ago that has achieved full take profit (TP) with a 28% move and is now waiting for a flip in the current market trend for the next setup.

MaxBecauseBTC maintains a “Very Bullish” outlook for Pepe based on technical indicators, particularly Fibonacci extensions, which have led to a breakout from a multi-month re-accumulation phase.

He emphasizes the importance of learning from both rejections and breakouts at key levels, stating that pullbacks are necessary and healthy.

Why It Matters: CoinGecko data indicates a 34% surge in the past seven days of trading, pushing Pepe’s valuation to 2.86 billion, placing its third position at risk compared to Dogwifhat’s valuation of $2.88 billion.

In terms of the past 24-hour trading volume, Pepe stands at $1 billion, significantly higher than $WIF’s 497.7 million and Shiba Inu’s $754.8 million.

Plazma, a heavily followed crypto trader focusing on Pepe, revealed that Pepe holders currently stand at 206,443, with 643 new holders added in the past 24 hours.

IntoTheBlock data highlights a surge in transactions greater than $100,000 to 120 transactions as of April 21, compared to 66 transactions as of April 20. Additionally, concentration by large holders stands at 72%, with around 74% of Pepe holders currently making a profit amid the current price surge.

What's Next: The influence of meme coins and Bitcoin as an institutional asset class are topics expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga's upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
