PEPE Price Prediction – Why PEPE Could Soon Retest December 2024 High of $0.00002838

Highlights:

• PEPE is in a bullish breakout mirroring the trend across the cryptocurrency market
• Continuation of the rally could see PEPE test December 2024 highs of $0.00002838
• PEPE could continue gaining if Bitcoin sustains momentum above $100k

PEPE has been in the green for the past two days. This is a mirror image of the broader market, which is also pumping. PEPE’s trading price at press time is $0.00001309, 43.01% higher than the preceding day. This spike is due to digital assets, mainly due to a risk-on shift in the market.

PEPE trading volumes are also on the rise. Up to $3.28 billion has been traded in PEPE, reflecting a 348% increase in trader activity relative to the coin’s former trading volume. In this context, the increase in volume is a sign that FOMO is building up. A price rally accompanied by high volume is considered a strong indicator of demand and further supports PEPE’s bullish price increase trend.

Ethereum Rally Boosting PEPE Price

PEPE’s surge is mainly driven by Bitcoin’s rally and holding above $100k. This signals that bulls are back in the market, and investors expect meme coins to do well. Bullish sentiment in PEPE is also driven by Ethereum’s rally in tandem with Bitcoin. This is unlike during Bitcoin’s earlier breakout when Ethereum lagged. Ethereum’s bullish sentiment means meme coins like PEPE could rally to new highs.

$ETH just had its biggest single-day pump since 2021 yesterday…and the ripple effect is real. ⚡️

Bullish Cup and Handle Formation Suggests More PEPE Upside

PEPE is also sending bullish signals on the chart. PEPE is currently showing a cup and handle trading pattern, which is usually a bullish signal. This traditional setup is a continuation pattern often preceding major price breakouts. PEPE has rebounded from a dip in early April and is now trading above the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement level of $0.00000823, confirming the bounce. The neckline is approximately 9 cents, and its breach could clear PEPE’s path to 14.65 cents, which aligns perfectly with the 61.80% Fibonacci extension.

$PEPE
🟢 Although it gave a false signal in February, this time the technical setup held up.
📌 Watch the 0.00001153 region closely — it's a critical resistance zone.

🔁 Potential Pullback:
• A correction from this level is likely.
➡️ First target on a dip: 0.00000900

Short Liquidations May Send PEPE Price Higher

As the price of PEPE rises, the possibility of driving further upside through short liquidations could add fuel to the rally. The Pepe Liquidation Map shows that $1.12 million in short positions is available for liquidation around $0.00000843. If PEPE can maintain or exceed the price above, forced short positions would exacerbate the rate at which PEPE rises and would act as a bullish catalyst.

After we sweep that liquidity and flip the 0.618 level into support, the next liquidity target is 0.000021 ,then a move to the ATH.

Some traders will take profits around the golden pocket (0.65–0.618). At $6B market cap, expect short-term volatility." pic.twitter.com/qwku71UFf7

Technical Analysis – PEPE Bulls Take Control

PEPE bulls are clearly in control, as seen on the weekly chart. If bulls sustain momentum, the key level to watch will be the $0.00001602 resistance.

A rally through the $0.00001602 resistance could see PEPE rally around the $0.00002643 resistance. It would also pave the way for a potential rally to new highs. 

Recap

The recent price action and high volume brought in by the whales, coupled with bullish futures positioning, indicate that PEPE is ready to extend its rally. If the current price pump continues, especially with ETH and BTC holding decisive levels, PEPE might undergo a new price discovery phase.
