Pepe set for breakout: What traders should keep an eye on

Pepe consolidates as Bollinger Bands signal potential breakout.

Initially trapped in a sideways market post-launch on the Ethereum blockchain, PEPE/USDT is now forming a triangle pattern.
This consolidation, combined with tightening Bollinger Bands, suggests that a breakout could be imminent. Traders are preparing for a potentially bullish end to the year, supported by historical trends.

It’s currently consolidating within a triangle pattern, with Bollinger Bands tightening. This pattern often signals a near-term breakout.
Historical data shows that such setups often precede significant price movements. The Chaikin Money Flow has also broken out of its wedge pattern, indicating that the accumulation phase is nearing its end.
As the CMF rises, buying pressure increases, suggesting that the memecoin could experience a significant surge.
The prolonged consolidation since May further supports the potential for a strong rally if market conditions favor altcoins.
Pepe funding rates turn green
Funding rates have turned green, providing further support for a bullish outlook on Pepe memecoin.

However, it also raises the risk of liquidation for long positions if the market shifts.
Address holdings and whales
Analysis of addresses by holdings in USD shows that whales continue to increase their positions. Traders holding more than $10 million worth of PEPE have risen by 5.26%.
While retail traders with smaller positions are also increasing, medium-sized traders have seen a slight decrease.
Despite this, the continued aggressive buying by whales signals strong confidence in PEPE’s potential.
