Pepe price lost momentum after a 25% spike and was up almost 1% at 11am ET.

The token was hours earlier attempting to break out from the descending parallel channel, which is a bearish pattern that leads an asset south for as long as it remains confined within its boundaries.

But PEPE has reclaimed its position at the helm of the Kucoin exchange’s gem box, with more than 75% of holders currently in the buy mode.

Pepe Coin Price Forecast From A Technical Standpoint

A breakout seems likely for Pepe, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in an overall uptrend to show rising momentum. In the same way, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is majorly green. It is edging toward the midline and could ultimately turn positive. This solidifies the case to the upside.

A decisive candlestick closing above the channel’s upper boundary at $0.00000071 would be a good sign. However, until Pepe coin breaks and closes above the $0.00000083, the meme coin remains in the woods. This level is critical as it marks the last highest high before PEPE was rejected.

In a highly bullish case, the uptrend could go as high as Pepe coin breaching the $0.00000100 psychological level. Such a move would constitute a 40% climb, and could clear the path for more gains.

On-chain Metrics

Several on-chain metrics support the bullish outlook for Pepe coin. To begin with, the behaviour analytics platform for cryptocurrencies, Santiment, shows increased activity in exchange inflows and outflows, as well as the number of whale transaction count with more than 100,000 USD in their accounts.

Another on-chain metric that bolsters the bullish outlook for PEPE is open interest. This is the sum of long and short positions that remain unclosed for the meme coin. Coinglass, a cryptocurrency derivatives data analysis platform, displays a 110% increase in open interest for PEPE, recording a stark $13.92 million increase in 24 hours.

For perspective, the open interest has increased from the $12.57 million recorded on Sept. 22 to $26.49 million recorded on Sept. 23. Open interest is the sum total of short and long positions. When this metric rises, it usually points to new capital flowing into the market. Therefore, the 110% rise is bullish for PEPE and could translate into a continued uptrend.

It is also true to say that when the number of long and short positions on an asset increases, it means investor interest in the asset is restored, as more traders open positions than the number of those closing.

Converse Case

Meanwhile, Pepe coin remains susceptible to a pullback because the recovery rally is still pending confirmation. The position of RSI under 50 as well as the AO being negative, increases the odds for a pullback. If profit takers pull the trigger or selling pressure overpowers buying momentum, the price could fall back within the confines of the bearish channel.

In such a case, a break and close below the support floor at $0.00000060 would postpone the forecasted bullishness or, in the dire case, put it out for the meantime. Such a move would indicate a 15% slump.

Data shows that Wintermute Trading, a large market mover firm, transferred more than 8 billion PEPE tokens to central exchanges on September 22. Based on current rates, this translates to approximately $5.4 million.

In addition, a giant whale with the short wallet address 0x9d5 actively moved huge volumes of PEPE from exchanges. Simultaneously, PEPE tokens worth at least $100,000 were transferred to the exchanges on the same day. This could be in preparation to sell, thereby threatening the upside potential for PEPE.

As a side note, increased exchange inflows are often interpreted as traders intending to sell.
