    Amid the ongoing crypto rally, investors are beginning to turn their attention to Pepe (PEPE) memecoin. A recent report disclosed a substantial accumulation of the coin, underscoring investor’s growing confidence.

    The global market has experienced a tremendous surge, triggered by Donald Trump’s election victory in November. Following the event, Bitcoin rocketed to a new all-time high of $99k, and other cryptocurrencies like XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) also saw impressive movements.

    Over the last day, Binance Coin (BNB), and Tron (TRX) have surged dramatically by 20%, and 67% respectively. Interestingly, both coins also reached new all-time highs of $776, and $0.43 respectively within this time.

    Consequently, the total market valuation now rests at $3.57 trillion, representing a 3.14% increase in the last 24 hours.

    PEPE Whale Accumulates $7 Million Coins

    Meanwhile, Lookonchain, a prominent on-chain analytic service, tracked a significant transaction involving Pepe, the third-largest memecoin by market cap.

    According to its data, this particular whale has withdrawn about 337.09 billion PEPE coins, valued at about $6.92 million, from Binance to a wallet address labeled ‘0x16…ab5b’ in the last 20 days.

    Notably, large transactions like this are often interpreted as bullish since the coin is moved from an exchange to an external wallet. This signifies a long-term holding strategy which translates to confidence in the coin’s trajectory.

    Historically, such large withdrawals often lead to a surge in price since it reduces the amount of coin in circulation, and creates a bit of scarcity.

    PEPE’s Trajectory, Will it Explode Next?

    Pepe coin has seen impressive growth post-election. In fact, the coin rose to a new all-time high of $0.00002457 on November 14. This growth also comes following major listings on Coinbase, Upbit, and Robinhood exchanges.

    However, at the time time of writing, Pepe is down 15% from its peak, trading at $0.00002094, indicating a 2.3% increase in the last 24 hours.

    Moreover, the coin saw a spike in its one-day trading volume by 3.4% to $3.34 billion, with a live market cap of $8.77 billion. The recent whale accumulation, combined with favorable market conditions could trigger a mouthwatering surge soon.
