Pepe Coin Price Poised for a 61.26% Rally to $0.000023793

Pepe price eyes a 61.26% rally from its current position of $0.000014558 as it nears the breakout from a Cup and Handle pattern. A successful push above the neckline at $0.000014764 could catalyze a rally that pushes this meme token closer to the all-time high at $0.00002825 that was set on December 9. 

This cup and handle consolidation pattern often precedes an incoming uptrend. It contains a rounded bottom known as the Cup and is followed by a small consolidation termed the Handle. Hence, the name.

The target of $0.000023703 for the aforementioned Cup and Handle is obtained by measuring the 61.26% depth of the cup and adding it to the neckline of $0.000014764. A breakout and bullish continuation can be confirmed with an uptick in volume and momentum.

PEPE’s price is also trending above the 200-period MA, which is often used in conjunction with the cup and handle, and this suggests massive strength of the potential breakout. If the handle extends past its current position, a price of $0.000023793 will be in sight.

Moreover, the rising 50-period MA, which is positioned below the price points, indicates increasing medium-term bullish momentum and support at $0.000013191.
