Pepe (PEPE) has been on a sustained uptrend since mid-April despite the instability witnessed across the broader market within this timeframe. Market data confirms that the meme coin sensation has recorded four consecutive intraday gains since April 20.
This trend occurred from April 20 to 23; from May 1 to 4; and from May 11 to 14.
Despite failing to engineer a similar streak this week, Pepe soared by 45.86% on May 21 and 22 while the rest of the market faced a pullback. Recall that the frog-themed meme coin hit a new all-time high of $0.00001161 two weeks back.
Pepe secured another all-time high last week when it rallied to $0.00001577 on May 25. This price upswing bucked the overall bearish trend in the market triggered by Bitcoin’s (BTC) retracement from the $71,000 high on May 20.
Pepe has surged 75.88% over the last seven days, making it the biggest gainer among the top 100 assets during this period. The meme coin is now in a price discovery phase, commanding a 24-hour volume of $1.946 billion at press time, the seventh-largest in the crypto market.
Pepe’s Accumulation/Distribution metric confirms that last week’s upsurge was triggered majorly by massive demand. The metric held a value of 615.79 trillion PEPE as of May 19, but spiked to 775.91 trillion tokens by the end of the week. PEPE now changes hands at $0.00001606, looking to secure its claim of this threshold
