PEPE’s Strength and Record-High
Pepe coin’s latest jump is impressive when you look at how well it’s done in this year’s bull run. The token hit a new record of $0.00001718, showing it can bounce back from market dips that once pushed it down to $0.000007. Today’s boost has sent the Pepe coin price to $0.00001178, making it clear that it’s a big player in the meme coin world.
The info on derivatives from Coinglass looks good for Pepe coin’s price in the future. The coin’s futures open interest (OI) increased by 17.48% to $134.2 million. Also, the amount of derivatives trading jumped by 216.89% to $3.91 billion. This big increase in derivatives shows that more people are interested in the meme coin and think it’ll do well.
Pepe coin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is now around 58, showing a neutral market with a slight push towards buying. This suggests more traders might accumulate the coin, which could increase the frog-themed token’s price even more.
Careful Hope in a Shaky Crypto World
