Pepper will be the first meme coin on the Chiliz Blockchain. According to its website, its purpose and utility remain a mystery. Instead, it has been created by the community to “take the reins and ride.”

The airdrop comes at a time when the meme coin industry is booming, with all tokens tracked by CoinGecko having a market cap of over $53 billion. Some of the most notable performers are Popcat (POPCAT), whose market cap rose to $1 billion recently, and Neiro (NEIRO), which has surged by over 7,000% in the past few weeks.

The Chiliz token has bounced back from $0.043 in August to $0.07. It flipped the important resistance point at $0.0715, its highest swing on Sept. 27, into a support level. By doing so, it invalidated the double-top chart pattern that had been forming.

CHZ has also risen above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, indicating that bulls are gaining control.

Therefore, Chiliz may continue rising, with the next reference level to watch being $0.084, its lowest swing on April 13.
