Is James Wynn Wrong Again?

A recent report from prominent blockchain tracker Whale Alert has highlighted a significant transaction involving the meme coin PEPE. Approximately 2 trillion PEPE tokens, valued at $27.89 million, were moved from the Bybit cryptocurrency exchange to an unknown wallet.

Between May 21 and May 23, the price surged, reaching $0.00001606 before retracing nearly 19% to a low of $0.00001303, and bouncing once again.

As per the CoinGape report, the bull fractal indicator predicts a 103% PEPE price rally in the coming weeks. While, James wynn seems to be selling his Pepe coin holdings, data seems quite bullish. Will it be another of his loss making trades?
