BTC’s price pump on 13 July saw it grace a new high of $31.8k, pulling up PEPE to aim at the recent price ceiling at $0.00000190. But PEPE faltered near the resistance, inviting short-sellers to seek gains towards immediate support of $0.00000150.
When zoomed out on the daily chart, the above immediate support aligns with a bullish order block (OB) of $0.00000136 – $0.00000162 (cyan). So, the area could act as a bullish stronghold. It could allow bulls to inflict a corrective rebound targeting the local high of $0.00000190.
But sellers could extend gains beyond the bullish zone if BTC drops below the $30k psychological level. In such a bearish scenario, $0.00000131 and $0.00000120 will be key interest levels.
Meanwhile, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) retreated from the overbought zone and steadied near the neutral level. A rebound from the neutral level will signal increased buying pressure and leverage to bulls.
But the CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) breached below the zero mark. It denotes significant capital outflows from PEPE in the past few hours.

According to Santiment, the 90-day Mean Coin Age metric has risen since early June, implying wide-network accumulation of PEPE in the same period.
In addition, the lack of sharp and massive drops suggests that most of the accumulated tokens are unmoved – a conviction by holders of further rally ahead.
