Pepe PEPE/USD is drawing serious attention from high-profile traders as its metrics and momentum surge.
Cryptocurrency | Price | Market Cap | 24-Hour Trend | 7-Day Trend |
Pepe PEPE/USD | $0.00001497 | $6.3 billion | +3% | +10% |
Dogecoin DOGE/USD | $0.2374 | $35.3 billion | -1.9% | +3.8% |

Trader Notes: Glauber Contessoto known as the ‘Dogecoin Millionaire’, revealed that his Pepe position, entered just three months ago, is now up over $500,000.
He called the move "possibly the best trade of my life," unless Dogecoin hits $5 in 2025, which remains his long-term moonshot. For now, he’s staying bullish, stating simply: "Up only."
Fellow trader Bluntz Capital sees PEPE in the early stages of a bullish Elliott Wave structure, with clean 1-2 waves forming at the bottom. He believes multiple major legs higher are still ahead, suggesting a full 5-wave impulse could push the meme coin much further. "PEPE looks like it's setting up for something big," Bluntz said, signaling a strong continuation of the current trend.
