Following the return of "Roaring Kitty" on social media, the Pepe cryptocurrency (PEPEUSD) reached a new all-time high of $0.00001119 on Binance, marking a 34% surge in the past 24 hours. This move pushed PEPE's trading volume up by 245% to $1.56 billion, resulting in a market capitalization of $4.31 billion, surpassing Ethereum Classic and becoming the 23rd largest cryptocurrency by market value.

Roaring Kitty's Return Spurs Surge in Pepe Cryptocurrency, Surpassing Ethereum Classic in Market Value

On May 13, 2023, the price of the Pepe cryptocurrency (PEPEUSD) surged to a new all-time high of $0.00001119 on the Binance exchange, reaching a market capitalization of $4.31 billion. This remarkable rally comes after the return of Keith Gill, known as "Roaring Kitty" on the social media platform X, who re-activated his dormant account on May 12.

Gill's reappearance has sparked a renewed interest in the meme stock phenomenon, which saw shares of GameStop and AMC Entertainment skyrocket in 2021. The resurgence of this trend has had a direct impact on the Pepe cryptocurrency, which has jumped 34% in the past 24 hours and has seen its trading volume soar by 245% to $1.56 billion.

Over the past few weeks, PEPE's performance has been closely aligned with the ascending trendline that has been providing support since mid-April. The latest rally has pushed PEPE above a crucial resistance level that has been underpinning the price since March, namely the range stretching from $0.00000875 to $0.000010. This area is pivotal for the bulls to defend in order to maintain the uptrend.

Technical indicators also point to the strength of PEPE's current momentum. The relative strength index (RSI) is pointing upwards and shows a trajectory similar to that of the price. The price strength at 70 indicates the dominance of buyers in the market.

However, a daily candlestick below the ascending trendline at $0.00000875 could trigger a price decline towards the $0.0000070 and $0.000080 demand zone, supported by the 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages.

The return of Roaring Kitty has also had a positive impact on other memecoins, with Solana-based GameStop memecoin jumping over 550%, and AMC token surging by 1,200%. Larger-cap memecoins, such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), have also seen gains of 5% and 7%, respectively.

The rally in meme stocks has also extended to companies associated with Gill and other meme stock figures. GME share prices climbed as high as 44% in pre-market trading and soared by 110% at market open before trading was halted. Cinema chain AMC Entertainment Holdings rose by 12% in pre-market and increased by 25% after the Wall Street open.
