PEPE's rebound this round is indeed fierce. Starting from $0.00000377 in early December last year, it surged 30% to 60% within just a month. Currently, it is oscillating around $0.000007, still climbing 15% in 24 hours, with daily trading volume surpassing $1.3 billion. Market enthusiasm is extremely hot.



Several factors are stacking to drive this upward momentum. Well-known trader James Wynn recently predicted publicly that PEPE could reach a market cap of $69 billion, with a target price of about $0.000016, which excites retail investors who fear missing out; short positions have been liquidated for over $10 million, with concentrated liquidations fueling the rally; plus, the meme coin sector as a whole has been warming up for the New Year, with PEPE as the leader naturally taking the lead.

But a clear warning must be given: now is really not the time to heavily chase high positions. The risk has already inflated to a quite ridiculous level. From a technical perspective, RSI has soared above 75, indicating a serious overbought signal, and a short-term correction is highly probable. Some analysts even predict a decline of 20% to 30% next week.

More importantly, meme coins themselves lack fundamental support; they rely entirely on sentiment and hype. Historically, such crazy surges are often followed by rapid crashes, sometimes within just a few days. Jumping in at this level is likely to be catching a falling knife, serving as a bagholder for those who entered earlier. Although in the long term, clearer regulations and the continued strength of Bitcoin do support bullish expectations, and PEPE might still have some upside potential, this moment is not a good entry point and could trap you at a high position.

The trading advice is quite straightforward. If you only have small amounts for speculation and can tolerate big fluctuations, you might gamble a little, watching the psychological threshold of $0.000010. But if you have larger funds, either wait patiently for a pullback to the $0.000005 to $0.000006 zone before acting, or stay on the sidelines and don’t rush to buy.

In the crypto market, especially with meme coins, chasing the rally and selling on the dip is always the fastest way to lose. No matter how good the outlook, never put all your eggs in one basket. Protecting your principal always comes first.

It's easy to call it a leader, but hard to say it's just taking over the previous wave. I'll wait until it drops to 0.000005 before buying in.

Oh no, this wave of PEPE is really crazy, but I'm looking at the RSI and it's terrifying. I'm afraid it's going to ruin the scene again. Really, jumping in now means you're just a bagholder, brother. Wait, is James Wynn's prediction reliable? It feels like he says the same thing every time. I'm just watching, not daring to put real money in. Meme coins are just gambling, don't fool anyone. How many times have we played this high-position routine, and people still rush in. It's heartbreaking.

You're back to cut our leeks again, dreaming of a market cap of 69 billion is really a sweet dream.

Looking at this wave of PEPE's rise, I'm really tempted, but with RSI75+ data sitting right here, I really don't dare to chase... The front wave has laid a perfect foundation, and the probability of the back wave coming to take over is too high. Let's wait until it hits 0.000005. It's the same old emotional hype game again. Meme coin players either make money or learn a lesson. I choose to stay on the sidelines. James Wynn's predictions are just for listening; they can't truly guide my funds. It's better to trust my own judgment, which is the most reliable. Chasing high prices always seems to lead to losses. Protecting the principal is a hundred times more important than dreaming of making big money. This time, I’ve been rational.

I am now the queen of all-in, so I’ll comment on this PEPE article: --- Still trying to get us to buy in, RSI is already at 75 and you’re still bullish, hilarious --- This wave of PEPE is indeed crazy, but listening to James Wynn’s predictions is just for fun, don’t take it seriously --- Small amount testing is the right move, I’m just waiting at 0.000006 --- Meme coins are just gambling; no matter how well you phrase it, that’s the core truth --- A 20% to 30% drop next week? I bet 5 bucks it’ll fall even harder --- Protecting principal is definitely the top priority, too many people got caught earlier --- 0.000010 is a psychological barrier, no doubt, but I won’t touch it; let others chase the high --- Over 10 million liquidation, isn’t that the best contrarian indicator? --- Long-term optimism is one thing, but the current price is a whole different story --- Those chasing the high are all too late for the last train, wake up, everyone

Here we go again, tired of that broken prediction of a 69 billion market cap, always hyping it up like this. Honestly, many people have already seen the RSI75 thing and are just waiting to harvest the little guys. But I have to admit, PEPE's recent surge was really fierce, it was truly frightening. The small-scale trial suggestion isn't bad, just don't get any funny ideas. Picking up the bag at high levels is really a death trap; I fell for this last time right here, a painful lesson.

It's the same story again, always talking about risks, but meanwhile they've already doubled their investment.
