Dogecoin vs PEPE – Accumulation trend comparison offers a surprising finding!
PEPE appeared to have greater bullish potential based on price action, but its metrics sent warning signals.
- Hike in token movement for PEPE could be an early sign of selling pressure
- A whale cohort has been slowly accumulating DOGE since June
Dogecoin [DOGE] and PEPE were both down by close to 56% from the highs they made over the past six months. Now, although they have undergone a similar retracement since, the path to this moment has been quite different.

Dogecoin saw a straightforward rally in February and March, one that has since retraced beneath the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.107.

On the other hand, PEPE halted its rally in March then rocketed higher in May, appearing to form two rallies. Measured from the base of the rally that began in February, it was only at its 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
This suggested that PEPE has greater bullish potential. Even so, AMBCrypto took a closer look at the on-chain metrics to understand if other pieces of evidence corroborated this idea.
