This price movement allowed PEPE to surpass Litecoin. As a market cap of $10 billion, and secure the 21st spot in the global cryptocurrency rankings.
PEPE’s recent rise can be attributed to a significant increase in network activity. Metrics show that the number of active, new, and zero-balance addresses have all surged, indicating a growing demand for the token.
This increase in user engagement and bullish momentum suggests that PEPE might continue seeing price gains, potentially reaching new all-time highs.
Looking at technical indicators, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has recently turned positive, signalling bullish momentum for PEPE.
This could lead to a breakout above the key resistance level of $0.000025, with analysts predicting a rally towards $0.000030. However, if the price faces resistance, it could retrace to $0.000015, which would likely cause PEPE’s market cap to dip below $10 billion.
In the past 24 hours, PEPE saw a 20% surge, pushing its market cap beyond $11 billion. This achievement has positioned PEPE as the third-largest meme coin by market value. With just behind Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Whale accumulation and increased trading activity have driven this rally. Along with on-chain data revealing that large investors are accumulating PEPE. Which reducing its available supply and driving upward price pressure. Additionally, the derivatives market has significantly risen. With PEPE’s trading volume reaching $1.67 billion and open interest growing by 39% to $368 million.
