However, AMBCrypto reported previously that PEPE’s uptrend might stall. As per our latest analysis, things might actually turn bearish in the coming days.

An assessment of Santiment’s data revealed that the memecoin’s weighted sentiment dropped to the negative zone. This suggested that bearish sentiment around the token increased. Moreover, its social volume also fell, reflecting a drop in the memecoin’s popularity.

In light of these findings, Lookonchain recently shared a tweet revealing an interesting development.

As per the tweet, a PEPE holder dumped its holdings and bought another crypto. The investor bought 81.55 billion PEPE ($800k) from 18 April to 15 May and generated $120k in unrealized gains. Later, the same investor exchanged 59.56 billion PEPE, worth $574k, for 754,943 SPX – Worth $684k.

This may be a sign of selling pressure rising. Hence, AMBCrypto checked the memecoin’s on-chain data to find out whether that is actually the case. 

As per our analysis, PEPE’s supply on exchanges rose while its supply outside of exchanges dropped – A sign of a rise in selling pressure.

The fact that investors were selling was also proven by the spike in the memecoin’s exchange inflows. Additionally, there was also a drop in the supply held by top addresses.
