The BTC price at a low-volume zone warns of a pullback to the $102k high-volume zone. If the bitcoin price crashes below the $102k, a potential sustained drop into the $102.6k-$93.1k zone is likely, where BTC could consolidate for weeks. This drop in Bitcoin could influence Pepe Coin and other altcoins.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.tradingview.com\/snapshots\/w\/WjOVHa0v.png\" alt=\"BINANCE:BTCUSDT Chart Image by CoinGape_Markets\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During consolidation, the downside risk to $93.1k will lead to a broader market correction, especially for highly volatile meme coins. Hence, with a weakening in the market leader, PEPE\u2019s price could witness a pullback in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Are Whales Selling Off Before an Incoming Crash?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">Following a strong bull run last week, a surge in Pepe whale transactions warns of a cycle top coming for PEPE. A surge in whale transactions following a rally typically signals a top formation, while a spike after a correction often translates to potential bottom. Historically, the peaks in whale transaction counts are a bellwether to a potential top formation after a bullish trend, as seen during May, November, and December of 2024. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_253033\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-253033\" style=\"width: 2980px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-253033\" src=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-14-at-10.47.11\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"Transaction Count by Size\" width=\"2980\" height=\"1126\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-253033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Transaction Count by Size<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">Based on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/app.intotheblock.com\/coin\/PEPE\/deep-dive?group=ownership&#038;subgroup=transactions&#038;chart=transactions_count_by_size\">IntoTheBlock\u2019s<\/a> data, the transaction count of more than $1ook in value peaked at 720 on May 12, coinciding with the Pepe Coin\u2019s peak at $0.000015. Generally, the peaks are formed with transactions crossing the 800 mark, signaling profit booking by whales. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Pepe Coin Price Analysis Warns of Double Top Breakdown<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">Pepe Coin price jumped 100% from $0.0000075 to $0.000015 between May 6 and May 12. However, the meme coin fails to cross the $0.000015 psychological resistance, resulting in a sideways shift with $0.00001274 as baseline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">The consolidation results in two peaks, hinting at a double top reversal with a 7.42% drop. To complete the bearish pattern, PEPE price must drop to the $0.00001274 neckline and break the short-term support trendline at $0.00001274. A four-hour candlestick close under the $0.00001274 neckline is mandatory for a decisive breakdown. In such a case, the double-bottom pattern forecasts a 25% crash to $0.00001063, calculated by adding the double top\u2019s height to the neckline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">The Relative Strength Index (RSI) line shows bearish divergence as it declines from the overbought zone to the halfway line during <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/markets\/pepe-coin-price-outperforms-doge-and-shib-targets-80-upside-post-retest\/\">PEPE\u2019s uptrend<\/a>. Furthermore, the MACD and signal lines fall after a negative crossover, suggesting a surge in underlying bearishness.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 3250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tv-snapshot-image\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.tradingview.com\/snapshots\/u\/Uha3S2rR.png\" alt=\"Pepe Coin price chart\" width=\"3250\" height=\"1866\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pepe Coin price chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">If the Pepe Coin price bounces back to violate the $0.000015 ceiling, the double top pattern will be nullified. According to Fibonacci levels, the 23.60% level overlaps with $0.000015 and targets $0.00001792 as immediate resistance if the trend flips, aligning with the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/price-predictions\/pepe-coin-pepe-price-prediction\/\">Pepe price prediction<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is Blind Optimism Behind 72% of Binance Traders Holding PEPE Longs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">Despite the short-term pause in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/markets\/heres-why-pepe-coin-price-rally-could-hit-a-new-all-time-high\/\">PEPE price rally<\/a>, heightened optimism in futures contracts anticipates an uptrend continuation.
