In Brief

  • While whale accumulation increased, the lack of follow-through indicates that Pepe might not experience a rally.
  • A drop in active addresses supports this trend as interaction with the token has fallen from September 14 highs.
  • Resistance around $0.0000071 could push PEPE's price down to $0.0000060 unless market conditions change.

Pepe (PEPE) may be vulnerable to further price declines, despite an increase in whale accumulation. This potential drop underscores the disconnect between large holders’ activity and broader market sentiment.

As the meme coin faces growing pressure, this on-chain analysis explores the sustainability of its current price levels and assesses its short-term outlook.

Whales Buy Pepe, Then Pause 

Data from Glassnode reveals that PEPE’s large holders’ netflow has surged by 108% over the past seven days. Netflow measures the difference between tokens accumulated by crypto whales and those distributed.

A negative netflow signals more distribution than accumulation, while a rise suggests increased accumulation. However, in PEPE’s case, the situation is somewhat different.

Although whales initially bought a substantial amount of the meme coin, accumulation stalled around September 13. Since then, there has been little increase in tokens purchased by large holders. As a result, PEPE’s price may struggle to avoid a significant decline.

In addition to whale activity, Pepe’s active addresses also support the bearish outlook. Active addresses reflect user engagement with a cryptocurrency; an increase generally signals strong interaction and is typically bullish.

However, a decline in active addresses suggests reduced traction and lower demand. For PEPE, the number of active addresses has dropped significantly since peaking on September 14, further reinforcing the bearish sentiment.

PEPE Price Prediction: $0.0000060 Looms

Currently, PEPE’s price sits at $0.0000071, down 31% over the last 90 days. From an on-chain perspective, the In/Out of Money Around Price (IOMAP) indicator reveals that the meme coin faces resistance near the current price, with 8,600 addresses holding over 31 trillion tokens.

The IOMAP helps identify key support and resistance levels by grouping addresses based on profitability. A higher volume of tokens in a profitable range typically acts as support. Conversely, when a large volume is “out of the money,” it becomes a resistance zone.

In PEPE’s case, the volume held below $0.0000069 is unlikely to offer strong support. If holders at the resistance zone sell, the price could face a further correction.

If PEPE faces a correction, the next level it could drop to is around $0.0000060. However, if demand surges enough to break through the current resistance, this bearish prediction might be invalidated. In that scenario, PEPE’s price could rally toward $0.000010.
