The PEPE giant whale moves abnormally! Three major turning signals behind the price plunge of 10% in July

The PEPE giant whale moves abnormally! The cryptocurrency market is in a state of uncertainty, and the Meme currency field is even more undercurrent. On July 6, 2025, the blockchain project PEPE suddenly plummeted by 10%, and the price was "zeroed" and fell to US$0.000009658, with a sharp drop of 47.41% in 24-hour transaction volume. This flash crash was like a deep water bomb, shaking the entire Meme coin ecosystem. But dramatically, just two days before the plunge, the on-chain data captured the abnormal action of giant whales buying more than $3 million in PEPE, pushing the number of coin-holding addresses to a record high of 455,670. On the one hand, the price collapses, and on the other hand, the giant whales are greedy to absorb funds - what kind of market password is hidden behind this contradiction? --- ### 01 Cliff-like decline, PEPE's July nightmare decline in PEPE is not an isolated event. The market environment in early July has shown signs of weakness, with investors turning to more stable assets such as Bitcoin, and Bitcoin dominance has reached 64.6%. This kind of capital migration has put huge pressure on high-risk Meme coins. - **Key support level lost**: PEPE encountered large-scale profit settlement after the peak of US$0.00001033, and the key support level of US$0.00001024 was broken down**, and the price fell further. - **Trading volume is almost halved**: After the plunge, the trading volume fell by 47.41%, leaving only US$751.56 million, and the market's willingness to buy dropped to freezing point**. - **Historical highs are out of reach**: PEPE has fallen by about 30% from the high of $0.00001380 set in May 2025, while the value has shrunk by more than 60% compared with the historical peak of $0.00002825 in December 2024*. Market sentiment took a sharp turn for the worse, and hopes of PEPE retesting the previous high seem to be completely shattered. ### 02 Giant whales are undercurrents, and the game between bulls and bears is becoming more and more intense** Giant whales have become the key variable that determines the short-term fate of PEPE**. Since the price decline in May, big players have continued to sell their positions on exchanges, exacerbating selling pressure and deteriorating price prospects. But the huge buying in early July showed that bullish forces were gathering. - **Mysterious buyers surfaced**: In early July alone, a single whale-level purchase of $1.3 million was tracked on the chain, and institutional investor Morpho led the purchase. - **Coin holders hit a new high**: The number of coin holders exceeded 455,000, and the market foundation expanded in the decline in prices. - **The hidden secrets of the technical side**: PEPE is still in a bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern, and the continuous green cylinder of the Bull Bear Power indicator shows that the buyer's strength is accumulating. This long-short confrontation has put PEPE in a tug-of-war: if the whales stop selling or even turn to absorb funds, the price may reverse rapidly; on the contrary, if the selling pressure continues, it may fall into the liquidity cluster of US$0.0000099. *Table: Analysis of key price levels of PEPE* | **Price level** | **Nature** | **Potential impact** | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does not rely on P/E ratios or TVL (total locked value), but is rooted in community penetration and online discourse power. - **Community-driven assets**: There are more than 140,000 coin addresses, the concentration of the top 100 addresses is less than 25%, and the decentralization level is better than similar Meme coins**. - **Exclusive market positioning**: As Meme coins with a market value of over US$4 billion, PEPE remains highly popular among retail investors, and PEPE/USDT trading pair liquidity on Gate.io ranks among the top**. - **Cyclical Opportunities Appear**: Historical data shows that **Meme Coin usually breaks out 12-20 months after Bitcoin halving**. The halving effect in 2024 is superimposed on the Fed's easing policy, and the second half of 2025 to 2026 may be the outbreak window of PEPE. Analysts predict that if the total market value of cryptocurrencies exceeds $5 trillion and PEPE implements large-scale token destruction, its price is optimistic that it may reach $0.00005; in the conservative scenario, it will fluctuate in the range of $0.000002-0.000008. ### 04 Challenger appears, FloppyPepe's ecological subversion battle is just as PEPE is fighting hard, the new challenger FloppyPepe (FPPE) quietly makes its debut. It started pre-sales at a super low price of $0.0000035, raising over $2.5 million in just a short time. FPPE's killer is to combine Meme culture with practical functions: - **Meme-o-Matic**: AI-driven content generator - **FloppyX**: Short video content robot - **FloppyAI**: Encrypted Q&A Dashboard This "**F**Feature Meme Coin**" mode hits PEPE's weaknesses - **Laboring practical application scenarios**. FPPE also introduces zero-tax transactions, pledge rewards and recommendation incentives, and its token economic model design is obviously more sophisticated than PEPE. *Table: Core comparison between PEPE and FloppyPepe (FPPE)* | **Dimension** | **PEPE** | **FloppyPepe(FPPE)** | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Survival Guide: Investors’ offensive and defensive ways. Faced with a violently volatile market, investors need to formulate strategies that both offensive and defensive: - **Position control art**: Control PEPE allocation** to within 10% of the speculative position** to avoid excessive exposure to Meme coins. Setting up stop loss orders is a key barrier to prevent flash crashes. - **Three-dimensional monitoring system**: - **Emotional side**: Track changes in social media popularity, especially the discussion trends on X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram - **On-chain data**: Monitor the abnormal movement of giant whale address, especially the large-scale transfer of exchanges indicates the risk of selling - **Technical indicators**: Pay attention to the offense and defense of the support level of US$0.00001024 and the resistance level of US$0.00001157 - **Event-driven layout**: Potential price catalysts include launching mainstream exchanges such as Coinbase and Robinhood, integrating Layer2 solutions, or innovative cooperation with Web3 games and NFT projects. For investors with strong risk tolerance, **PEPE in the range of 0.0000092-0.0000080 can be regarded as the medium-term accumulation zone**. But beware: without breakthroughs in actual application scenarios, PEPE may never be able to get rid of the label of "pure speculative tool". --- PEPE, which has slipped 60% from its historical highs, is now standing at a delicate crossroads. In the shadow of the plunge, the giant whale's $3 million bet and the counter-trend growth of its coin-holding address implies that the market still has complex expectations for this "sad frog". The entry of new players such as FloppyPepe is like a mirror, reflecting the weakness of the lagging development of PEPE ecosystem. As the Bitcoin halving effect gradually releases in the second half of 2025, Meme may usher in a new round of explosion. When the capital wave returns, can PEPE be pushed back to the previous high of US$0.00001380 or even further? This depends not only on the whale's game, but also on whether it can transcend the hollow Meme narrative and find its own true coordinates in the value map of cultural assets. **Summary of core points: ** 1. **Pulse and divergence**: On July 6, PEPE fell 10% in a single day to $0.00000965, but the giant whale bought over $3 million against the trend, and the coin holding address hit a new high of 455,000. 2. **Cultural Asset Attributes**: PEPE valuation does not rely on technical utility, but based on community consensus and online discourse rights, the coin holding addresses are highly scattered (the proportion of the top 100 addresses is less than 25%). 3. **Key price range**: $0.00001024 is a long-short watershed, breaking through $0.00001157 may trigger a 12% increase; if it falls below $0.0000099, it may accelerate the decline. 4. **Competitive products threaten to approach **: FloppyPepe entered the market with a functional Meme currency positioning, raised $2.5 million in advance, integrating AI tools to reshape valuation logic. 5. **Cycle Opportunity Window**: Historical data shows that Meme coins mostly exploded 12-20 months after Bitcoin halving, and 2026Q3-2027Q2 may be the key sprint period of PEPE.
