Pepe Futures Open Interest Soars 13.08%

In contrast to PEPE’s impressive gains, the original meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen a modest 5.51% increase over the past fortnight, currently trading at $0.1428. None of the other top ten meme coins by market capitalization have achieved double-digit percentage gains in the same period. Despite its lower price increase, Dogecoin’s derivatives market trading volume is nearing $2 billion. Both long and short DOGE traders have placed positions, boosting the Open Interest (OI) rate by 4.86% over the past 24 hours.

The recent price action in the PEPE market has been marked by significant volatility. The last 24-hour price chart shows PEPE experiencing a noticeable rise in value. Technical indicators suggest bullish momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) edging closer to the overbought territory at a current level of 59.30. Additionally, the Klinger Oscillator, which has recently crossed from negative to positive, reinforces the potential for continued upward movement.

CoinGlass data reveals that Open Interest has soared by 13.08% to $112.33 million. This surge reflects increasing trader confidence in PEPE’s future performance. However, the rapid rise in open interest and trading volume can also indicate heightened speculative activity, which may lead to increased volatility and potential corrections.
