Pepe Futures Open Interest Soars 13.08%
In contrast to PEPE’s impressive gains, the original meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen a modest 5.51% increase over the past fortnight, currently trading at $0.1428. None of the other top ten meme coins by market capitalization have achieved double-digit percentage gains in the same period. Despite its lower price increase, Dogecoin’s derivatives market trading volume is nearing $2 billion. Both long and short DOGE traders have placed positions, boosting the Open Interest (OI) rate by 4.86% over the past 24 hours.
The recent price action in the PEPE market has been marked by significant volatility. The last 24-hour price chart shows PEPE experiencing a noticeable rise in value. Technical indicators suggest bullish momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) edging closer to the overbought territory at a current level of 59.30. Additionally, the Klinger Oscillator, which has recently crossed from negative to positive, reinforces the potential for continued upward movement.
CoinGlass data reveals that Open Interest has soared by 13.08% to $112.33 million. This surge reflects increasing trader confidence in PEPE’s future performance. However, the rapid rise in open interest and trading volume can also indicate heightened speculative activity, which may lead to increased volatility and potential corrections.

Pepe Coin Correction Prompts Over 1 Tln PEPE Dump, Bull Run Over?
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/PEPE-Meme-Coin.webp.webp)
In an unprecedented turn of events, Pepe coin has raised severe investor concerns by showing signs of a price correction today, July 5. Recent on-chain data indicated that over 1 trillion PEPE was dumped to exchanges amid a nearly 12% dip in the value of the frog-themed meme coin.
The emergence of these massive dumps amid a bearish crypto market has made market sentiments take a paradigm shift. Notably, speculations that Pepe coin has potentially topped have pushed traders and investors onto a hot seat, further aligning with the massive exchange dump.
So, let’s dive deeper into the current market stats of the third-largest meme coin by market and what it indicates for future price movements.
Colossal Exchange Dumps Ignite Bearish Sentiments
According to the on-chain data offered by ‘The Data Nerd,’ a transaction tracker, $1.02 trillion PEPE was collectively dumped to a crypto exchange by two whales today.
The whale address 0xf22 deposited 435 billion PEPE, worth $3.86 million, to Binance, one of the leading CEXs. If sold at the current price, the whale will suffer a loss of $1.21 million.
Simultaneously, the market maker Wintermute deposited and sold a whopping 593.6 billion PEPE for $4.61 million. This massive selloff has presented Pepe coin with increased selling pressure.
Collectively, these massive transfers to exchanges have stirred a whirlpool of bearish market sentiments, underscoring loss in the market’s confidence surrounding the asset’s future potential.
Meanwhile, Pepe coin continued to trade dominantly in the red territory.

PEPE Price Plummets
At press time, PEPE’s price saw a 12.03% dip in value to $0.000008304. It’s 24-hour bottoms and tops are $0.000007724 and $0.00000963, respectively. The weekly crash, a fall of nearly 33%, saw PEPE regaining a zero in its value after shedding it amid this year’s bull cycle. This momentum has pushed the token to take a bearish stage.
It’s worth mentioning that while this price drop aligns with the broader market trend, Pepe coin has surged unprecedently amid this year’s bull cycle, defying broader market trends and sentiments. This could mean that Pepe coin’s long-due correction has finally taken place.
However, CoinGape Media spotlighted PEPE’s nearest resistance point at $0.000009, hinting that a potential market recovery could witness PEPE scaling this level, paving the road for further gains.
Collectively, the abovementioned data hints at uncertain market sentiments over the future price action of the frog-themed meme coin.
Also, the RSI rested around 31, hinting that further downside pressure might propel an entry into the oversold territory. Should this happen, chances are Pepe coin could witness a potential price rebound.
Nonetheless, crypto market participants extensively eye the token for further price shifts, given the volatility of the crypto realm.

Whale Continues XRP Selling Streak, $0.42 Becomes Major Resistance Level
![](https://coin2049.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/xrp222.jpg)
In the background of the crypto market’s bearish movement today, a renowned XRP whale has continued selling significant amounts of XRP. Notably, on-chain insights by Whale Alert reveal nearly 71 million coins dumped to exchanges over the past day, setting off discussions surrounding XRP’s future price action across the crypto industry.
XRP price currently takes the heat of the broader crypto market trend, slipping as low as the $0.39 price level. So, let’s gauge in on the market statistics for Ripple-backed asset.
On-Chain Data Flags Whale Dumps
According to data by Whale Alert, 70.9 million XRP, worth $31.29 million, was shifted to two exchanges in a couple of transactions. As per the data, the whale address, …Rzn, was recorded as shifting the abovementioned amount.
…Rzn shifted 35.8 million coins, worth $15.80 million, to Bitso, a Mexico City-based CEX. Simultaneously, it transferred 35.1 million coins, worth $15.49 million, to Bitstamp, a Luxembourg city-based CEX.
These dumps have presented XRP with increased selling pressure amid a bearish market, causing further downside pressure on the asset. Intriguingly, CoinGape Media earlier reported that the same whale address has been repeatedly dumping XRP into the Bitstamp & Bitso crypto exchanges. Aligning with this, a negative market sentiment sparked by the whale dump engulfs XRP.
Meanwhile, despite Ripple rolling out upgrades for the network and strengthening its case against the U.S. SEC, the native token, XRP, has continued its sluggish movement.

XRP Price Correction?
At press time, the XRP price chart showed a 10.15% dip in value to trade at $0.4056. Its 24-hour lows and highs were $0.3977 and $0.4532, respectively.
Intriguingly, in a post by the crypto market analyst Dark Defender today, it was brought to attention that the $0.39 price level serves as POC (Point of Control). This is where most trades have taken place since 2014, making it a vital support as of the current trajectory.
Whereas, after consolidating over the past week, the crypto tanked forming resistance at $0.42. The RSI was moving along 22, signaled an oversold territory for the asset. This could mean a potential price rebound ahead as the market recovers.
Also, pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan took to X today, spotlighting his XRP purchase with a strategic buy-the-dip sentiment. This has added to optimism on a price rebound ahead.
