PEPE shed nearly 3% in the past day as traders dumped tokens in unusually high volumes, underscoring renewed anxiety in the cryptocurrency space and significant profit-taking.
The token saw peaks of $0.00001268 before tumbling to session lows around $0.00001169 early in the day. While prices briefly bounced, the rebound stalled quickly, leaving PEPE pinned near resistance around $0.00001206.
Yet whale accumulation appears to remain robust. Data from Nansen shows that over the past seven days, PEPE whales on Ethereum added 1.4% to their holdings, which now total 305.26 trillion PEPE, while funds on exchanges dropped by 1.14% to 251.2 trillion.
Technical Analysis Overview
PEPE’s performance over the past 24 hours underscored the intensity of the market’s bearish tilt. The token dropped 3%, weighed down by relentless selling. Trading remained volatile, with prices swinging across a range of $0.00000980 and posting intraday volatility of nearly 8%.
Bulls briefly pushed prices to $0.00001268 at one point, but strong resistance emerged at the $0.00001267 level. From there, sellers steadily took control, driving prices to a session low of $0.00001169.
Though PEPE managed a modest rebound, climbing from $0.00001210 to as high as $0.00001217, momentum fizzled quickly. The coin settled near $0.00001206, now acting as a resistance zone, suggesting the market remains in consolidation rather than reversing its slide.
Trading volumes soared beyond 3.47 trillion tokens, highlighting the scale of activity as traders reacted to shifting price levels. Until PEPE can hold above key resistance and absorb selling pressure, its trend appears locked in a bearish pattern.
