While some crypto traders believe that Pepe is steering the direction of the entire meme coin market, others remain skeptical of its sudden fall after recently hitting new highs on May 27.
“Pepe is pulling back so the rest of the meme coin market is too. Pepe is the meme leader right now,” pseudonymous crypto trader Nebraskangooner <a href="https://x.com/Nebraskangooner/status/1796280678755221831" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">told</a> his 345,700 X followers on May 30.
As Pepe’s price fell, the two largest meme coins by market capitalization, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/shiba-inu-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SHIB</a>), also experienced price declines in the same three-day time frame.
Dogecoin fell 6.41% to $0.1604, and Shiba Inu decreased by 8% down to $0.00002608, according to CoinMarketCap <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a>.
However, crypto trader Michael Pizzino believes that Pepe’s short-lived all-time high should serve as a warning sign if it fails to sustain those levels again.
“Pepe is technically in the strongest position in terms of price, BUT…If the next rally fails to print a new high, look out,” Pizzino declared in a May 30 X <a href="https://x.com/PizzinoMichael/status/1796130916596953389" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a>.
While Pepe’s decline has only led to more trader interest over the past 24 hours, a 26.38% increase, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu saw trading volumes drop by 7.4% and 45% respectively.

Since launching in May 2023, PEPE has experienced significant price growth, soaring by 25,955%. Just this year alone, since Jan. 1, it has surged by 1,042%.
However, there have been several periods of significant volatility throughout the year, which traders have capitalized on.
On May 30, Cointelegraph reported that a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/pepe-whale-up-5m-within-month" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PEPE whale holder capitalized</a> on the most recent spike by making nearly $5 million profit on the Pepe token within a month.
