- PEPE’s open interest has increased by 9% in the last 4 hours, suggesting growing investor interest.

The cryptocurrency market experienced massive selling pressure on 12th August following a significant decline in Bitcoin [BTC].
Amid this downturn, a whale found a perfect buying opportunity in Pepe [PEPE], the world’s third-biggest meme coin, and purchased nearly 120 billion tokens.
PEPE whale buys the dip
However, this is not the first time that this whale has purchased a significant amount of PEPE. The memecoin experienced a notable price decline on 5th August and 11th August, and on both these occasions the whale bought the dip.
According to the on-chain analytic firm Spotonchain, on these two occasions, the whale spent a notable total of $3.13 million USDT to purchase 420 billion PEPE tokens.
It seems like this whale is trying to buy the dip whenever the market falls. Additionally, the whale has now made a decent profit of $170k.
PEPE price-performance analysis
At press time, PEPE was trading near $0.00000817 and experienced a 5.7% price decline in the last 24 hours.

In the last 24 hours, PEPE’s open interest was down by 5.5%. However, due to increased participation and traders’ interest in buying the dip, it has risen by 9% in the last 4 hours and 6.5% in the past hour, according to the on-chain analytic firm CoinGlass.
According to expert technical analysis, PEPE looks bearish as it fell again below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time frame.
The price of PEPE below the 200 EMA suggests a bearish signal. Whereas, another technical indicator the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing a sign of reversal as it is an oversold zone.
