PEPE active addresses and social dominance
Santiment data reveals that PEPE supply on exchanges is nearly at the same level as May 20, posting a 0.3% increase between May 20 and 27. This implies that there is less likelihood of higher selling pressure on PEPE, and the meme coin could extend gains further.
PEPE price could extend gains by nearly 25%
PEPE has been in an uptrend since April 14. The meme coin has formed higher highs and higher lows with an impulsive upward move noted on May 20 and 21. PEPE rallied to its new all-time high of $0.00001725 on Binance early on Monday.
The momentum indicator, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), supports PEPE price gains with green histogram bars above the neutral line. This suggests positive underlying strength in the meme coin’s price uptrend.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 77.81, well above the neutral boundary at 70. While PEPE is in the overbought zone, the positive underlying momentum implies the asset could extend gains further.
Traders opening a long position need to be cautious while RSI is in the overbought zone on the 1-day timeframe.
PEPE could extend gains by nearly 25% to 127.2% Fibonacci extension of the rally from the April 13 low of $0.00000393 to the May 27 peak of $0.00001725.
