- PEPE retested a short term ascending support after the latest pullback.
- Assessing whether demand is building up at this critical level.
Pepe [PEPE] is currently in a critical zone, which may determine its short term outlook. The memecoin’s performance in the last two weeks revealed a struggle to maintain the bullish momentum it achieved in September.
But what if the bulls could make a comeback that marks a continuation of that momentum?
Although PEPE recently gave up its September gains, its short-term rally bullish bias may still be in play. The memecoin just retested its short-term ascending support line associated with its performance in September.
PEPE traded at $0.00000.935 at press time after a 2.63% upside in the last 24 hours. This suggested that the short term ascending trend line was still in play, hence the market’s bullish reaction to the retest.

The latest pullback pushed PEPE down to its 50% RSI level. So far, the RSI indicator has signaled a potential pivot and remained slightly above this zone.
Once again, this was confirmation that the bullish momentum was still at play.
The above observation underscores the importance of the memecoin’s current position. More upside is likely if it can sum up enough demand.
On the other hand, there was a significant probability of more price weakness if the bears launch a solid assault, coupled with low demand.
