The Pepe coin price has witnessed a steady recovery since last month under the influence of an ascending trendline in daily charts. This dynamic support uplifted the asset value from $0.00000393 to a new all-time high of $0.0000161, registering a 195% growth.

However, the overhead resistance at $0.0000108 prevented a daily candle closing and tumbled the PEPE price back to $0.00000925.

According to on-chain data tracker Spot On Chain, a recent transaction by a PEPE whale has significantly impacted the token’s price. Thirteen hours ago, a multisignature wallet identified as 0x1a2 deposited 457.9 billion PEPE tokens, worth approximately $4.54 million, to Binance. This move, interpreted as a stop-loss measure, contributed to a 6% price drop in PEPE.

Spot On Chain notes that this particular whale has a track record of poor trading decisions. Over the past 15 days, the whale has lost $717,000 (approximately 4.69%) from two separate PEPE trades. Historically, the whale’s transactions have often led to sharp price declines whenever large amounts of PEPE were moved.

However, this frog-themed memecoin currently hovers above the aforementioned support trendline seeking to be suitable for renewed recovery momentum. Along with the Bitcoin price sustainability above $65000, If the PEPE managed to hold above the rising trendline, the buyers could lead the next recovery leap to $0.0000138, followed by $0.0000167.
