The broader crypto market is on the edge, buoyed by the return of Bitcoin (BTC) to the $71,000 mark for the first time in more than five months. This boost has helped trigger a massive rally for meme coins like PEPE, with whale embrace fueling a rally in a complementary manner.

This single whale boost has sparked some projections on the market. While the funds were moved to a Binance address indicating a sell-off, it also proves that activities are beginning to pick up amongPEPE whales that can determine the next trends.

As of writing time, the price of PEPE was trading for $0.00000966, up by 8.49% in 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap data. At this level, the token can erase one zero to retest the resistance level at $0.00001. If this seemingly bearish 1.2 trillion transfer to Binance ends up being liquidated and others follow, it might force a change in the trend for the meme coin.

However, the market's collective hype might help PEPE negate any sell-off scares from either whales or retail holders.

Meme coin breakout

At the current level, many meme coins are in blowout mode.Shiba Inu (SHIB) is up by 10.89% to $0.0000189 with a push to erase one zero. Dogecoin and WIF are also up by 14.52% and 9.60%, respectively, to $0.1664 and $2.644.
