Over the past week, Pepe, a frog-themed memecoin, has exhibited solid negative price action, with its value receding by over 16%. This pessimistic mood has further been mirrored on the daily chart.
As of press time, the PEPE token was valued at $0.056987, marking today’s top loser with a decline of over 12%. Consequently, its intraday market cap has also been impacted, stabilizing around the $2.939 billion mark.
This negative sentiment can be attributed to the overall bearish sentiment within the meme coin market, which witnessed a 5.98% ebb to the $36.31 billion level in a single day. Despite this decline, the asset has maintained its position as the 24th most prominent crypto in market capitalization.
Meanwhile, the meme coin’s 24-hour trading volume contrasted sharply with the bearish sentiment, surging massively by 61.32% to $760.708 million. This indicates increased trading activities in the PEPE market despite the general market slowdown.
PEPE Price History
As tracked on TradingView, Pepe has been on a sustained bearish trend since reaching its all-time high of $0.00001718 three months ago. This decline has forced the meme coin to retest its previous lows multiple times, showing signs of struggling to break out of the downward trend.
Following the market downturn on August 5, the frog token experienced a momentum shift, driving its price up by over 50% toward the $0.000008739 mark, a key resistance level.
However, upon reaching this level, the frog memecoin faced substantial selling pressure, resulting in a pullback aimed at retesting its recent low of approximately $0.00006931.
Can $0.00006931 Low Hold
Adding to the bearish outlook, market analysts suggest that the memecoin is currently in a third bearish wave of the ABCD pattern. The asset could retest the $0.000005856 support level should this scenario come into play.
The 50-day and 200-day moving averages, above the meme coin’s current values of $0.000009998 and $0.000008282, respectively, further support this bearish sentiment.
On the brighter side, if the $0.00006931 low holds and PEPE’s price rebounds, there could be a chance for a bullish reversal, potentially challenging the key resistance at $0.000008739. A breach above this level could solidify PEPE’s upward trend, with the potential to target higher resistance around the $0.00009823 mark.
