PEP broke above its 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level ($0.000668) on July 27, aligning with: - RSI14 at 91.73 – extreme bullish momentum, though nearing overbought risk - MACD histogram rising (+0.00003699) – accelerating upward pressure - Price 82% above 7-day SMA ($0.0003771) – parabolic short-term trend
The move occurred despite PEP trading 47% below its July 25 high ($0.0004199 vs. $0.000689), suggesting traders are frontrunning a retest of the $0.00087 all-time high.
