  • TD Sequential flashes sell signal as PEPE nears resistance at the 1.272 Fibonacci extension.
  • RSI drops to 68.82 from above 75, signaling reduced buying pressure near overbought levels.
  • MACD histogram contracts, suggesting waning momentum and risk of bearish crossover ahead.

Pepe (PEPE), the meme-based cryptocurrency, may enter a short-term phase after a strong rally in mid-April 2025. A combination of technical indicators and chart patterns now suggests a consolidation period or retracement.

The latest signal from the TD Sequential indicator, alongside changes in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), points to declining bullish momentum after PEPE reached a recent local high.

The daily chart reflects a structured advance from the $0.00000045 level in April, followed by a series of Fibonacci retracement moves. After hitting resistance at the 0.618 level around $0.00000103, PEPE pulled back before regaining strength.

This was confirmed by a bounce from the 0.382 support, which led to another breakout above the 1.0 Fibonacci extension near $0.00000134. The token later peaked at approximately $0.00000168 near the 1.272 extension, where current resistance has emerged, now marked by a new TD Sequential sell signal.

This technical setup is being echoed by momentum indicators. The RSI, which had previously surged above 75 during the rally, now reads 68.82, falling below the overbought zone of 70. The 14-day average RSI stands at 67.23, indicating signs of easing buying pressure. While these levels reflect bullish territory, the downward shift indicates that the strength behind PEPE’s upward move may be softening.

MACD Trend Remains Positive but Weakens

Further evidence of slowing momentum is visible on the MACD chart. Although the MACD line remains above the signal line, at 0.00000155 versus 0.00000114, the histogram bars have started to contract. This reduction in the histogram suggests weakening trend strength and raises the possibility of a bearish crossover if the MACD line dips below the signal line.

At the time of reporting, PEPE was trading at $0.000014 , reflecting a 1.78% decline over the past 24 hours. Its market capitalization stands at approximately $5.71 billion, ranking it 25th overall, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $1.16 billion.

Oil tanker freight reaches a sixty-year high: shipping oil from the US to China is more expensive than launching a rocket!

The freight for a single barrel of crude oil has soared to $41, approaching half the oil price, and for a single trip, the freight was once enough to buy an oil tanker. The Middle East crisis has led to a structural shortage of shipping capacity in the Strait of Hormuz, coupled with ship-to-ship transfers extending turnaround times. VLCC freight rates have skyrocketed from an annual average of $9.2 million to $77 million—an increase of more than eight times. Refiners’ profits are being rapidly eroded, the average price of second-hand oil tankers has reached a historic high, and, unusually, surpassed the price of new vessels.

Following the Drop but Not the Rise! Silver Trapped in Difficulties

The logic of AI and solar energy demand continues to play out, yet prices are falling against the trend—macroeconomic forces such as a strengthening US dollar and rising real interest rates have completely suppressed fundamentals. Speculative funds offloaded $1.6 billion in a single week, marking a yearly peak, while CTA net short positions reversed by $2.6 billion to the highest level this year. However, Goldman Sachs analysts believe that the extreme short positioning itself is building reversal momentum, highlighting an asymmetry; once macro headwinds subside, a retaliatory rebound could be easily triggered. After a similar shakeout last time, silver surged 15% in six weeks.
