Concurrently, PEPE’s bullish momentum has had the upper hand, with the price up 35% at press time, trading at $0.000002842. During the rally, PEPE’s market capitalization and 24-hour trading volume surged by 35% and 78.52%, respectively, to $1.2 billion and $1.45 billion.

PEPE Whales Take Advantage

This surge in the price has witnessed six wallets disposing of 1.98 trillion PEPE, worth about $4.37 million, taking around $2 million in profits. This action highlights the tactical play of these investors, letting the coin’s momentum reap hefty profits.

Within these transactions, one of the two notable wallets that had remained idle for more than 650 days withdrew a massive 1.03 trillion PEPE from Binance just before the price hike, making an unrealized profit of $1.34 million which represents an increase of 95.3% in less than three days.

The spike in PEPE’s valuation has brought attention to the coin’s resilience and further emphasized the more significant market forces that influence meme coins. However, the trading activity around PEPE distinguishes it, especially in comparison to other successful meme-based cryptocurrencies. The upsurge of this price has made the PEPE approach levels of resistance that were unreachable before, indicating the possibility of additional growth.

Active Wallets and Transaction Spikes

There is a surge in the number of active wallet addresses of the PEPE network, with an 85% increment in interactions in just four days of the last week, as reported by Coin Edition. 

Furthermore, just the last 24 hours have experienced an increase of 60% in activity. The high level of activity is reflected in the number of significant PEPE coin transactions over $500,000 and $1 million, which helps the day to register an impressive price rise.
