Whale dumps 150B PEPE: Is a December rebound likely for the memecoin?

  • On-chain metrics revealed that exchanges have witnessed an inflow of $6.8 million worth of PEPE.
  • PEPE could soar by 40% to reach the next resistance level of $0.000026 if it holds itself above the $0.000018 level.

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, I have seen my fair share of market swings and whale activities. The recent events surrounding Pepe [PEPE] have been quite intriguing, to say the least.

The well-known and third-largest crypto meme coin, PEPE, has witnessed a substantial 20% drop in value after the Federal Reserve Chairman’s anti-crypto stance. This statement not only led to a decrease in PEPE’s price but also sparked a widespread sell-off throughout the cryptocurrency market.

Whale dumps $2.7 million worth of PEPE at loss

As I analyze the latest happenings in the cryptosphere, it seems a whale has seemingly transferred 150 billion units of PEPE, valued at approximately $2.72 million, onto Binance – the global leader in crypto exchanges. This massive transfer reportedly resulted in a loss of around $219,000, according to Lookonchain’s blockchain transaction tracker.

This substantial sell-off occurred as the market started experiencing a price decline.

As a dedicated cryptocurrency investor, I recently noticed an interesting observation made by Lookonchain on their platform. They pointed out that a significant player, often referred to as a ‘whale’, withdrew a substantial amount of the popular meme coin, Shiba Inu (SHIB), approximately 60 billion tokens, on November 28th.

Additionally, it appears that long-term investors are selling off their assets through exchanges, according to data from the analytical firm Coinglass.

According to information gathered from the PEPE spot inflow/outflow, it’s been observed that approximately $6.80 million in PEPE has flowed into various exchanges.

A significant increase in transfers from wallets to exchanges could be interpreted as a bearish signal for token holders. This might mean a potential drop in prices and heightened selling pressure.

PEPE technical analysis and key levels

Despite the notable dump by whales and long-term holders, PEPE has managed to stay above the crucial support level of $0.000018.

Based on the evaluation of technical specialists, it appears that the PEPE price is bouncing back following a supportive point.

Looking at current market trends, if PEPE manages to maintain its value above $0.000018, it’s quite likely that we might see a surge of up to 40%, potentially taking it to the next resistance level of approximately $0.000026 in the coming days.

In a favorable situation, PEPE’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching the oversold region, suggesting that the price might soon bounce back.
