PEPE Tanks as Whales Flee — Is There a Bottom in Sight?

  • A massive 2.2T token dump triggered a sharp price drop and cascading liquidations
  • Technical breakdowns and bearish indicators point to more downside pressure
  • A bounce might come, but only if whales stop selling and sentiment improves

PEPE, once the life of the meme coin party, is now spiraling downward — and fast. What started as a community darling has taken a sharp turn, weighed down by heavy sell pressure and a growing sense of “uh-oh” among traders.

Whale Offload Sends Shockwaves

The biggest red flag? A whale-sized dump that rattled the whole pond. According to Lookonchain, one wallet let go of a mind-boggling 2.2 trillion PEPE tokens over the last ten days. That’s 0.5% of the circulating supply just—poof—gone. On June 18 alone, 600 billion tokens were sold off for $6.04 million… at a $3.5 million loss, no less. Oof.

Now, here’s where it gets messy: big sales like this usually trigger a chain reaction. Algorithms catch the scent of panic and dump their bags too. Combine that with a thin market, and, well… it gets ugly in a hurry.

Tech Charts Are Throwing Red Flags

If you’re hoping for some technical support here, prepare for disappointment. PEPE’s lost both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Those were key zones, and now they’re dust. The MACD just flipped negative too — and the RSI’s sitting at 33.54, dangerously close to oversold but not quite there yet. Translation? There’s still room to drop.

Without some kind of bounce or big reversal, this slide looks like it could keep going. And there’s not much in the charts screaming “bottom” just yet.

Broader Market Isn’t Helping Either

Zooming out a bit — the whole market’s kinda in risk-off mode. Bitcoin’s dominance shot up to 65.02%, jumping a full percent in a day. That’s a classic move when traders ditch altcoins to park in BTC during shaky times.

Overall crypto market cap? Down 2.1%. Meme coins? Hit the hardest. The Fear & Greed Index has slid all the way to 40 from May’s 73. The hype’s clearly fading. And yeah, volume’s up 17.85% to $805 million, but it’s mostly sell orders, with long positions getting wiped left and right.

What Now? Bottom or Breakdown?

So, what’s next for PEPE? Well… more pain unless a few things shift:

  • Whale wallets need to chill or flip back to buying,
  • A solid technical bottom needs to form,
  • Or we see broader market sentiment come back to life.

Until then, watch that $0.0000100 level like a hawk. If it breaks, we might be revisiting lows not seen since early Q2 last year. It’s not game over for PEPE — but it’s definitely a rough patch.
