Whale Offloads 1.15 Tln Coins Raising Investor Concerns

According to data streamlined by Whale Alert, 1.15 trillion PEPE, worth $12.34 million, was dumped to Binance by an unknown address, 0x835678a6. This massive transaction brings considerable selling pressure to the asset. Also, a sense of reduced market confidence in the asset’s future potential is highlighted by the colossal selloff.

However, despite the massive dump, the whale in question held a substantial amount of PEPE, along with other tokens. According to Etherescan’s data, the whale’s holdings included 6.77 trillion PEPE, valued at $71.86 million, and 2.19 trillion SHIB, worth $39.51 million. The remaining holdings encompass a variety of tokens, such as LINK, MATIC, RNDR, OM, and more.

Meanwhile, the PEPE price plummeted, falling in line with usual market sentiments with such dumps.

PEPE Price Dips

As mentioned above, PEPE’s price showed signs of a correction, dipping 9.21% in the past 24 hours to $0.00001055. The token’s daily bottoms and peaks are $0.000009865 and $0.00001176, respectively.

Coinglass data shows Pepe coin experienced substantial liquidations from yesterday to date, totaling $6.78 million collectively. This is also attributable to PEPE’s recent price correction.

PEPE’s Futures OI dropped 14.52% to $109.67 million, underscoring declining investor interest in the futures market. However, the derivatives volume spiked by 79.19% to $1.96 billion, possibly due to speculative trading.

The RSI hovered at 38, underlining downside pressure on the asset. Further downside pressure could bring the coin into an oversold territory, readying it for a potential price rebound ahead. Also, a potential crypto market recovery could fuel a bolstered price movement shortly ahead.
