Tom Mitchelhill4 hours agoIs Bitcoin overheated? Some believe the answer is hiding in PEPESome crypto market observers believe a rush into memecoin PEPE could herald an impending Bitcoin dump, but not everyone is convinced.5205 Total views20 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksCould Bitcoin (BTC) be headed for an imminent pullback? Some crypto market observers believe the answer could be hiding within the price action of a frog-themed memecoin.


In an Oct. 27 post on X (formerly Twitter), Onchain Capital co-founder and Crypto Banter host Ran Neuner suggested that memecoin Pepe (PEPE) is a strong indicator of overblown crypto market fever.If you want to know when a pull back is coming, just watch $PEPE. It’s literally an index for when the market is getting overheated. When people are confident enough to go there and it pumps, that’s your sign to exit.

“If you want to know when a pull back is coming, just watch PEPE. It’s literally an index for when the market is getting overheated,” said Neuner.“When people are confident enough to go there and it pumps, that’s your sign to exit. Works every time.”


Pepe recently witnessed a more than 100% gain, growing from $0.00000064 on Oct. 20 to a peak of 0.00000134 on Oct. 27. Around the same time Pepe reached its peak, Bitcoin had already begun sliding downward from a recently attained yearly high.


Neuner’s theory has been shared by other crypto traders in the past. On Sept. 23, trader Alex RTB told his 60,000 followers that he had begun using Pepe as a reliable metric for impending short-term declines.This $PEPE pump is another indicator of upcoming #BTC dump.

I am speaking with experience, you can check past price movements.

However, the theory also attracted its fair share of skeptics, who claim the data hasn’t always supported the theory.

Dubai-based trader Reetika told Cointelegraph that Pepe’s recent uptick was largely driven by bullish news regarding changes in the team and the fact that it would be burning additional tokens and that it wasn’t necessarily a sign of broader overconfidence in the market.6.9T $PEPE Tokens worth ~$6,000,000 have been burned. https://t.co/aN5LRUFz8u

As comparative data from TradingView shows, the price of Pepe is often tightly correlated with that of Bitcoin, which could make it challenging to use the memecoin as an indicator.Comparative price action of PEPE vs. BTC since the inception of Pepe. Source: TradingView


Reetika, meanwhile, suggested looking at Solana’s SOL (SOL) as a potentially more reliable predictor.


“SOL has been a very good leading indicator for the moves so far. It has broken out of resistances at least a day before BTC/ETH over this entire move. I’ve been using it actionably for estimating upside,” she said.


Reetika, however, clarified that SOL isn’t a perfect indicator either but had performed well on the most recent move.


Similarly, market commentator and avid crypto shitposter Poordart told Cointelegraph that Pepe probably isn’t the best metric from which to gauge the future price action of majors like Bitcoin.


In Poordarts’ view, Pepe is still far too new to the market to have any “real lasting value” as a reliable metric to gauge the price movements of Bitcoin with any significant accuracy.
