Pepe (PEPE) is trading at 0.00001248, down nearly 4% on Wednesday. The frog-themed meme coin noted consistent profit-taking by traders in the past ten days.
Consistent profit-taking typically increases selling pressure on an asset and is likely to push the price lower. On-chain data trackers observed a spike in PEPE deposits to centralized exchanges, contributing to the rising selling pressure.
