Looking at the performance of spot market PEPEUSDT, it’s been quite interesting recently. The overall macro environment is tight on funds, and various altcoins are falling, but PEPE has stubbornly risen. Honestly, this is quite rare in a market that is highly polarized.

From a technical perspective, PEPE’s ability to break through against the trend in this environment must have some support. It could be that funds are selecting specific targets, or there might be a new catalyst in market sentiment. Anyway, this wave of market movement is a bit hard to understand—why did it happen to stand out?

The current question is, how long can this contrasting trend last? Before the funds improve, the strength of a single coin might just be a flash in the pan. Those who want to participate should be cautious, as altcoins are inherently volatile, especially when the overall market is unstable.

PEPE0,42%

PEPE's recent movement is indeed a bit strange, it feels like funds are playing guerrilla tactics --- Coins that are counter-trend should be approached with caution, it's easy to become a bag holder --- Why PEPE in particular? Honestly, it's still a matter of sentiment --- Before the funds improve, it's hard to say how long this kind of market can last. I wouldn't dare to chase --- Playing with altcoins at this time is too risky, better wait until the market stabilizes --- It's a bit hard to understand, other coins are falling while PEPE is rising, there must be some tricks involved --- Selected targets? It sounds more like someone is orchestrating the rhythm --- I've seen many fleeting market rallies, it's really hard to say how long PEPE can last

Why is PEPE suddenly so impressive? Where did all the funds go?

PEPE this wave defies the trend indeed, but I still think I should wait before jumping in. --- Even with such tight liquidity, it can still rise, indicating someone is dumping, be cautious. --- The probability of a fleeting bloom is too high, isn't it just giving away money now? --- Why PEPE? What's the logic behind that? I don't understand. --- Selected targets? That's funny, I think it's just an emotional market. --- Bitcoin is still oscillating, only a brave warrior would chase such small tokens. --- When it rises against the trend, you have to ask why, usually it's not a good sign. --- Contrasting market trends sound great, but this is how the little guys get cut.

PEPE's recent surge against the trend is indeed a bit outrageous, but I still think it depends on when the liquidity situation loosens up. --- The fleeting nature of this is very likely; don't be led astray by emotions. --- Why PEPE? I also want to know the answer to this... --- Altcoins tend to rebound quickly and fall even faster. Be careful not to buy at high prices. --- Before the liquidity situation improves, this kind of performance is destined not to last long. --- Having some support is good, but I really can't see what it is. --- When it comes to selecting targets, no one can say for sure if the whales are manipulating behind the scenes. --- Playing with altcoins in an unstable market requires real courage.

PEPE this wave is indeed strange. Everyone says that altcoins are collectively gg, but it’s actually dancing. What does that mean... Is someone taking over or is there an inside story? Hard to say. Before Bitcoin shows any signs of recovery, this thing is probably going to revert to its original form. By the way, what do you all think? Are there really major players involved or is it just pure sentiment?

I've experienced stories of 'selected targets' like this before. Back in 2018, it was the same — a certain coin soared against the trend, and everyone said it was supported by funds and catalysts. But what happened? The project team ran away two weeks before the peak, and the price surged the most. This rebound of PEPE is probably 80% a fund-raising scheme. Thinking there's real fundamental support is just naive.

Is that all? PEPE isn't a fundamentally strong stock, relying purely on sentiment and retail investors' momentum. The surge in PEPE is basically just the market manipulators at work. Once the capital flow loosens, let's see how it dies. It feels like gambling on probabilities. Maybe let others try it. Can this thing sustain? Wake up, buddy. Altcoins with such strength for three or five years are all just paper-thin. A counter-trend rise isn't surprising; it all depends on who ends up holding the bag in the end.

PEPE's recent market movement is really a bit spooky. Even when Bitcoin isn't stable, it keeps rising. I really can't hold on anymore.
