PEPE price performance

At press time, PEPE is trading near $0.0000081 and has experienced a price surge of over 7% in the last 24 hours. Despite this impressive price surge, PEPE’s trading volume declined by 11% during the same period. This decline in trading volume might indicate fear and lower participation from traders.

As of now, PEPE’s open interest (OI) is increasing. In the last 4-hours, its OI has increased by 8%, and over the last 24 hours, it is up by 3%, according to an on-chain analytic firm CoinGlass.

PEPE price prediction

According to expert technical analysis, PEPE is at a crucial resistance level of $0.0000084, near the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time frame. Additionally, it has been consolidating within a tight range for four consecutive days, between $0.0000069 and $0.00000822 levels.

If PEPE gives a breakout of both the consolidation zone and the resistance level, there is a high chance it could soar 50% to the $0.0000126 level or even higher in the coming days.

Currently, most cryptocurrencies are experiencing major breakouts and have seen remarkable upside moves since the market crash. However, PEPE remains in a consolidation zone, which is a positive sign for a potential upcoming rally.

Major liquidation level

As of now, the PEPE’s major consolidation zone is at near $0.0000077 on the lower side and $0.00000848 on the upper side.

If it gives a breakout and soars to the $0.00000848 level, nearly $860K worth of short positions will be liquidated. Conversely, if PEPE’s price falls below the $0.0000077 level, nearly $5 million of long positions will be liquidated. This higher leverage on the long side indicates that bulls are controlling the situation, while the short seller looks exhausted.
