$PEPE, once hailed as the “King of Memes,” has recently faced a significant downturn, touching its lowest point on August 5th and struggling to regain upward momentum.
Despite a brief recovery after that dip, $PEPE has now returned to its previous low, reflecting the broader decline in meme tokens across both the Ethereum and Solana networks.
Over the past 14 days, the selling pressure on $PEPE has been steadily increasing. Unlike the usual Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy, stronger profit-taking signals have emerged, indicating that investors are opting to cash out rather than hold onto their positions. This trend is contributing to a lack of strong buying pressure from Smart Money, which further exacerbates the token’s struggles.

With a staggering 40% loss over the past month, $PEPE’s sharp decline has raised concerns among its holders and the broader cryptocurrency community. The lack of interest from Smart Money and the increasing selling pressure suggest that the token’s woes may not be over yet.
