96% of PEPE Holders Profit After 77% Price Rise
Following a significant price increase over the past week, on-chain data reveals that more than 96% of PEPE investors have profited.
96.36% of PEPE Addresses Are Profitable
Cryptocurrency expert Vicakdo highlighted on X that the majority of PEPE investors have net unrealized gains. The “Global In/Out of the Money” indicator from market intelligence company IntoTheBlock shows the distribution of addresses based on the acquisition price range of the coin. By using on-chain data, IntoTheBlock calculates the average deposit price of coins in any wallet to determine an investor's "cost basis."
Investors are categorized into three groups based on their cost basis relative to the current spot price:
Out of the money: Cost basis above the current price, resulting in unrealized losses.
In the money: Cost basis below the current price, resulting in unrealized gains.
At the money: Cost basis equal to the current price, resulting in a break-even position.
The graph below shows the distribution of investors across these categories. The size of the dots represents the number of addresses with an average purchase price within the range. Large dots below the spot price indicate that most investors are profitable.
Specifically, 96.36% of PEPE investors are profitable, with 236,320 green addresses compared to just 10 addresses with net losses. The remaining addresses are at the money, meaning the current price is retesting their average cost basis.
Retesting the cost basis can influence an investor's profit-loss position, leading to potential reactions. Investors holding at a loss may exit at break-even, while profit-seeking holders might buy more when the price retests neutral levels, anticipating future gains.
