Insights from Korea Blockchain Week 2025: Why Asia is Shaping the Future of Bitcoin and Web3

Pepe has witnessed a sharp rally over the past week, but a cryptocurrency 
analyst has warned it could turn out to be a setup for another move down. Pepe 
Has Shot Up Over The Past Week PEPE has taken off to start 2026 as the 
memecoin&#8217;s price has gone up by more than 60%, significantly outperforming all 
cryptocurrencies in the top 50 by market cap list. At the height of the rally, 
the asset touched $0.00000725 on Sunday, but it has since seen some retrace 
back to $0.00000676. Related Reading: Dogecoin Heading To $0.08? Analyst 
Thinks So—Here’s Why Other meme-based tokens have also witnessed rallies 
recently, with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu being up 17% and 15% over the past week, 
respectively. But clearly, these pale in comparison to the 62% profits that 
Pepe has managed in the same window. Though the memecoin&#8217;s rally has been 
impressive so far, technical analysis (TA) may actually point toward a bearish 
outcome. PEPE Approaching A Retest Of Head-And-Shoulders Breakdown Level In a 
new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the recent PEPE price 
action from a TA perspective. As the chart shared by Martinez shows, the 
memecoin was earlier forming a Head-And-Shoulders pattern. The Head-And- 
Shoulders is a pattern that&#8217;s characterized by a series of three price peaks. 
The first and third peaks are of a roughly similar height and form the 
&#8220;shoulders,&#8221; while the central peak stands out as the largest and is known as 
the &#8220;head.&#8221; The pattern involves one more element, a horizontal line that&#8217;s 
called the &#8220;neckline.&#8221; Between the peaks, the price retests this level and 
finds support at it. Once the right shoulder has formed, however, the next 
retest is considered likely to lead to a bearish breakdown. As is visible in 
the graph, the daily Pepe price saw a fall below the neckline of its Head-And- 
Shoulders pattern last year. This led to a period of sustained bearish action, 
culminating in a low in December. With the rally that has occurred in the 
cryptocurrency&#8217;s price in 2026 so far, however, it has closed back the 
distance to the neckline. While the development looks bullish, the analyst 
thinks a different outcome could follow for the coin. As Martinez noted, &#8220;this 
could be a simple retest of the breakdown before a move to $0.0000015.&#8221; It now 
remains to be seen how the retest of the level, if one follows, will go, and 
whether it will result in another rejection for PEPE. Related Reading: Bitcoin

memecoin that has seen bearish developments in TA recently. As the analyst has 
highlighted in another X post, Floki, which has enjoyed a surge of over 40% in 
the past week, has seen a sell signal on the Tom Demark (TD) Sequential.
