🔥 Why is it rising today?

1. Breakout from the downtrend:

PEPE broke out of a descending channel it had been in for weeks; this breakout drove the +7% move

2. Whales entered + short squeeze:

Open Interest rose from $250M to $315M in 3 days, meaning new money is coming in, not just old positions being liquidated

Liquidations: $1.52M in positions were liquidated, including $1.25M in shorts - shorts got wiped out

3. A major move by Justin Sun:

An address linked to Justin Sun (TRON's founder) received 7.2 trillion PEPE worth $28.44 million from Poloniex on October 18. The market read it as a positive signal

📊 Technical analysis:

Very bullish:

79% chance of an upward move versus 21% chance of a decline, according to the TradersUnion model

69% bullish in the short term

Broke through the $0.00000419 resistance that had been holding it back

Immediate support: $0.00000440 - $0.00000429 - if these levels break, the price could fall again

Resistance: $0.00000470 - $0.00000479, today's high

Expected range over the next 2-3 days: $0.00000429 - $0.00000470

If it closes above $0.00000470 on the daily chart, it could move to $0.00000510 - $0.00000550

Bearish:

The price has reached the top of the Bollinger Band; it could return to the middle if no new liquidity comes in

Volume at $61M is still small compared with the $400M it reached in September
