Searching For Hope: 70% Of PEPE Investors Hit Hard What Now?
Meme coin PEPE navigated a turbulent week, experiencing a 14% price drop but finding solace in rising bullish sentiment and technical indicators pointing towards a potential rebound.
Investor Woes, But Whale Appetite Grows
NewsBTCs analysis, using data from IntoTheBlock, revealed over 70% of Pepe investors currently sitting on losses, suggesting a challenging week. However, whales saw opportunity in the dip, with Santiment data showing a sharp increase in Pepe holdings by top addresses.
Bullish Buzz Despite Price Slump
Sentiment around Pepe took an interesting turn, defying the price decline. The meme coins Weighted Sentiment, tracked since February 1st, witnessed a rise, indicating growing optimism within the community. This positive buzz was further fueled by consistent social media engagement, reflected in high Pepe Volume throughout the week.
Exchange Activity Signals CautionWhile whales accumulated, broader market selling sentiment weighed on Pepe. NewsBTC observed a drop in Exchange Outflow, suggesting investors moving their holdings off exchanges for potential selling. Additionally, a drastic increase in Supply on Exchanges coupled with a decrease in Supply outside of Exchanges painted a picture of potential selling pressure in the near future.
Technicals Hint At ReversalDespite the recent price struggles, Pepes daily chart offered some positive signals. The MACD indicator hinted at a potential bullish crossover, suggesting a shift in momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) neared the oversold zone, potentially triggering buying pressure if it enters that territory. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also displayed an uptick, further reinforcing the possibility of a price increase.
Bears are currently attempting to push the price below a crucial support level of $0.0000009. If this level breaks, significant losses could occur, potentially dragging the price down to lows of $0.0000006 seen in September/October 2023, representing a decline of over 30% from current levels.
Community Strength EnduresDespite the market fluctuations, Pepe boasts a strong community presence, with over 154,000 individual holders and active communities on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram, exceeding 500,000 followers and 60,000 members respectively.
The outlook for Pepe remains cautiously optimistic. While recent price drops and selling pressure raise concerns, bullish sentiment, technical indicators, and a strong community suggest potential for a reversal.
However, investors should carefully consider both positive and negative factors before making any investment decisions, acknowledging the inherent volatility associated with meme coins.
