Is fading whale support the beginning of the end for PEPE?

PEPE whale dumps 430B coins – Is this the end for the memecoin?

  • PEPE accumulation and distribution are expertly timed for bullish or bearish markets.
  • With one whale dumping its entire PEPE stash, is this just the beginning?

Pepe’s [PEPE] 14.14% drop in market value within 24 hours was no accident. A whale dumped 430 billion PEPE coins, worth $6.39 million, pocketing a $5.82 million profit.

The sell-off occurred as PEPE traded at $0.0000133, now 48% below its post-election peak.

The beginning of the end for PEPE?

For memecoins, their low price tags attract investors chasing quick gains, but the real profits kick in when not just billions, but trillions of these coins get scooped up. 

In a bullish market, this strategy sparks massive gains, with towering green candlesticks sending the price soaring. But in a bearish market? It’s a different story entirely.

A single wallet dumping its entire stash can trigger a massive sell-off, as seen with PEPE, which crashed by a staggering 20% in just two days.

Now, it’s up 56% from its election price, leaving plenty of room for more profit-taking – if the memecoin doesn’t reverse.

If it doesn’t, expect 27 trillion more PEPE coins, bought at $0.000009, just 27% lower than its current value, to shift into the red, putting $243 million at risk of a sell-off.

Since the election cycle, the top 10 addresses have reduced their PEPE holdings by 16.74%, now down to 166.88 trillion, matching the price drop from its all-time high of $0.00002825.

No doubt, the whales are quietly offloading. But what happens when a memecoin loses its whale backing? Is this the end game for PEPE?

Who will scoop up the massive liquidity?

When whales start distributing, the impact is massive – millions lost by retail investors. 

Just look at the Futures data: $7.83 billion in long positions wiped out, sending Open Interest (OI) plummeting by 17%. Right now, trading Futures is a high-risk game.

A huge wave of liquidity is about to hit the market, with trillions exiting the big wallets. Until we see a re-accumulation phase, predicting PEPE’s recovery is tough – and it doesn’t look like that’s happening anytime soon.

If more whales start taking profits, the memecoin could be in its end game. With billions on the line and volatility rising, proceed with caution.
