Pepe Down 9%: 'Headed Lower' Or Will It Outperform Dogecoin, Shiba Inu?

Pepe's PEPE/USD significant price decline has traders speculating about whether it is a long-term buying opportunity in disguise.

What Happened: Prominent crypto trader CrediBULL Crypto highlighted that Pepe is holding up quite well through the volatile crypto markets. He predicted another leg up taking untapped liquidity before a larger move downwards.

Altcoin Sherpa predicts Pepe to head lower based on technical analysis.

$PEPE went through this one in my video yesterday on memes, looks like it's headed lower. Would target the 200d EMA for a bounce around 800-900 pic.twitter.com/xrkXzm56pL

Another crypto trader noted that Pepe is entering a buy zone and suggested a position based on the assumption of imminent interest rate cuts. AltCryptoGems highlighted that Pepe's level is a good area to consider a long based on "proper reversal pattern on a low timeframe."

Why It Matters: IntoTheBlock data shows a 40.9% decrease in large transaction volume and a 4.3% drop in daily active addresses. Despite the recent price falls, around 74% of Pepe holders are currently making a profit, while 10% are at breakeven.

Lookonchain data revealed a whale who deposited 400 billion PEPE, worth $4.2 million, to Binance to reap profits a few hours ago. This whale withdrew 795.92 billion PEPE, then worth $2.55 million, from Binance on March 1. Currently, the whale has 395.93 billion PEPE, worth $4.18 million left making a total profit of $5.9 million based on 230% ROI.

Based on Coingecko data, Pepe is leading among the top three meme coins in weekly and monthly losses. In comparison to Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Shiba Inu's SHIB/USD weekly fall of around 2%, Pepe stands at an 8% loss. Based on monthly numbers, Pepe is down 9%, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are down 3% and 8%, respectively.

Pepe’s 24-hour trading volume of $876.9 million is the highest among meme coins.
