PEPE Price Enrute for ATH
Amid the ongoing cryptocurrency correction post-fourth Bitcoin halving, Ethereum-based meme coin Pepe (PEPE) has surged over 53 percent in the past seven days to trade around $0.00000726 on Thursday during the mid-London session. The recent Pepe perpetual futures listing 1000PEPE-PERP on the Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced significantly contributed to Pepe’s bullish outlook.
According to a popular crypto analyst alias Captain Faibik, Pepe’s price against the US dollar is on the cusp of reaching a new all-time high. The crypto analyst noted that Pepe’s price has already broken out of a bullish flag after a six-week correction phase
However, Pepe’s price must consistently close above the current support level on the weekly chart to ensure the bullish momentum continues in the near term.
Why Bet on the Meme Coins
Liquidity in most meme coins is expected to improve in the coming months as more investors participate in the market. The rise of dog-themed meme coins led by Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) in the past bull cycles has inspired a new generation of meme coins.
Moreover, most blockchains and web3 projects are using meme coins to spur adoption and increase on-chain activity.
