As $Bitcoin consolidates around the psychologically significant $100K level, the meme coin market is feeling the pressure — and $PEPE is no exception. With its price hovering near $0.0000059, the token has seen mild declines over the past 24 hours, slipping around 2.4% amid broader market hesitation ahead of key U.S. inflation data.
PEPE Price in USD - TradingView
PEPE currently holds a market cap of $2.52 billion, with trading volume dropping sharply by over 50% in 24 hours to around $298 million, showing a slowdown in trader enthusiasm.
Looking at the 2-hour TradingView chart, PEPE/USD is forming a descending triangle — a bearish setup that often precedes further declines if support levels fail.

The Stochastic RSI remains low at 31.8, indicating short-term oversold conditions that could lead to a brief bounce. However, the 200 SMA (Simple Moving Average) lies far above current price levels around $0.00000649, suggesting that the broader trend remains bearish for now.
If PEPE fails to break above $0.0000060 soon, sellers may push it down toward $0.00000525, a level that has previously acted as a major demand zone. Conversely, a breakout above the descending resistance trendline could send the price toward $0.0000064, especially if Bitcoin shows renewed strength above $102K.
As Bitcoin hovers near $100,000, most altcoins — including meme coins — are caught in its gravitational pull. Traders are moving liquidity toward $BTC in anticipation of macroeconomic news, leaving speculative tokens like PEPE with less momentum.
The volume-to-market-cap ratio of 11.85% reflects healthy but declining engagement, while the nearly 500,000 holders highlight that PEPE remains one of the most widely held meme coins in the market.
If Bitcoin maintains stability above the 100K mark and risk sentiment improves after the U.S. inflation data release, PEPE could bounce toward $0.0000062–$0.0000064 in the short term.
However, if BTC dips below $98K, PEPE might revisit $0.0000052 or even $0.0000050, which could trigger stop-loss cascades among leveraged traders.
