Pepe is among the best-performing cryptocurrencies of the last year. Since its launch in April 2023, the asset’s price has surged by over a thousand percent. The frog-themed memecoin has quickly claimed the charts and is currently the 26th largest crypto project by market cap.

Will Pepe rally after the whale purchase?

The popular memecoin has faced a significant correction in the last few days. The price dip may have prompted the whale to make the big purchase. The whale may be expecting a rally in the coming days.

The asset is currently down by nearly 3% in the daily charts, 13.5% in the weekly charts, and 26.3% in the 14-day charts. The correction may be due to higher-than-expected US employment data. The development has led to fading expectations of an early interest rate cut. However, the memecoin is still up by nearly 41% over the previous month and more than 1214% since June 2023.
