Bullish Indicators Push Pepe Price Higher
Pepe price has witnessed a remarkable surge for the second consecutive day, mirroring the stabilization of the crypto market and the identification of bullish formations by traders. The token has ascended to $0.000012, approximately 25% above its monthly low. This recovery has propelled Pepe's market capitalization to near $5 billion.
Pepe's price surge aligns with the upturn of other meme coins. Popcat, a Solana-based meme coin, has surged by over 65%, while Tooker Kurlson, Jeo Boden, and Mog Coin have all experienced gains exceeding 30%.
The recovery is attributed to Bitcoin's resilience in maintaining its support above $60,000. On Tuesday, Bitcoin traded at $61,125, indicating investor confidence in the recovery.
Pepe's stability has also benefited from data showing a steady proportion of whale holdings throughout the month. According to CoinMarketCap, whales held over 203 trillion PEPE tokens on Tuesday, the highest level since May 31st. Increased whale holdings are generally perceived as a positive sign for a coin. Etherscan estimates the number of Pepe holders has grown to over 247k.
Traders have identified favorable patterns in Pepe's recent performance. The token has consistently remained above the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), indicating bullish control. Additionally, Pepe has formed a falling wedge chart pattern, a common bullish signal. On Tuesday, the token breached the upper boundary of this pattern.
Pepe has also exhibited a hammer candlestick pattern, characterized by a small head and an elongated lower shadow. This pattern often signals a reversal, particularly when accompanied by rising volume. CoinGecko data suggests that daily Pepe trading volume across exchanges has surpassed $865 million, up from $454 million on Monday.
The futures market reflects similar trends, with open interest climbing to over $134 million, its highest since June 17th. Open interest measures the number of contracts held by traders in active positions, providing insights into market sentiment.
Pepe has further exceeded the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement level, suggesting potential for further upside. Nonetheless, it remains crucial to consider the possibility of a dead cat bounce, where a sudden recovery is followed by a resumption of the downtrend.
