PEPE has already climbed 50% since the beginning of 2026. Quite the ride so far. What's driving this momentum—is it retail buying pressure, whale accumulation, or just the broader market bounce we're seeing across altcoins right now?

PEPE-1,81%

A 50% increase isn't a big deal; the key is whether it can hold up later... I think this wave is mainly retail investors following the trend; the real big players have already jumped in.

A 50% increase and you're already asking for the reason? Truly living in the moment, brother.

50% huh, this wave of increase is really fierce, but it still feels like retail investors are just following the trend more, right? The whales are already full.

50%? How come it's so intense? It feels like the hype cycle is back, and the retail army has entered the market.

Pepe is rising again. It feels like the market sentiment has improved, retail investors are following the trend and buying, while whales are taking the opportunity to sell... To put it simply, that's what's happening.

Let's take a look at the data. A 50% increase needs to be broken down clearly—has the number of active on-chain addresses increased simultaneously? Does the sudden surge in trading volume correspond to actual market entry or is it just bots trading back and forth? We need to check a blockchain explorer to find out.

A 50% increase is nothing; the key is how it will move afterward. Is it retail investors passing the baton or institutions accumulating? It's hard to say in the short term.
