Meme coin PEPE has been on an impressive rally for some time now. Stemming from a broader influx of funds into the meme coin sector and the overall cryptocurrency market that has been in motion for the past two weeks, PEPE is currently up by 38% in the last seven days, outperforming its meme coin counterparts with larger market caps.
Interestingly, this impressive price action has seen PEPE breaking out of a downtrend pattern that has lasted for the past six months. This significant development was highlighted on the social media platform X by well-known crypto analyst Captain Faibik.
According to the analyst, PEPE’s price action has resulted in an upward breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern, a technical formation that has been dictating its consolidation period for half a year.
Breakout From 6-Month Consolidation Pattern
Using a PEPE / Tether US chart shared on social media platform X, Captain Faibik highlighted PEPE’s price action since the beginning of the year. The chart showed that since it reached its all-time high of $0.00001717 on May 27, 2024, PEPE has yet to return to this price point. Periods of rallies have been characterized by the formation of lower highs and higher lows, leading to the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern.
PEPE’s recent 38% rally has seen the meme coin break out substantially from the upper resistance trendline of the symmetrical triangle. From this point, the only place left to go is up.
Analyst Predicts 351% Surge To New ATH
With the breakout confirmed, Captain Faibik has set a bullish price target for PEPE. In terms of a price target, Captain Faibik noted that PEPE is now clear for a rally to a new all-time high. Specifically, he predicted a rally to a price target of $0.00003214.
Getting to this price point would necessitate PEPE stepping into new price territories. Furthermore, the price target means PEPE would need to surge by an impressive 351.69% from its breakout point. Given the meme coin’s recent history, such a price surge is very possible, especially as the crypto industry is now transitioning into a predicted bullish fourth quarter.
As always with meme coins, extreme volatility and rapid price changes are expected. This is because investments in meme coins largely depend on the general sentiment among cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and sometimes Dogecoin (the king of meme coins).
At the time of writing, PEPE is trading at $0.00001125, still on a 38% gain throughout last week. Other meme coins are on comparable gains in this time frame. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is up by 32%, Dogwifhat (WIF) rose by 33%, Bonk (BONK) climbed by 30%, and Floki (FLOKI) added 23%.
Dogecoin (DOGE), on the other hand, is up by a smaller 17% in the past seven days. These gains could continue into the coming week as the market remains bullish.
