Expert Trader Believes PEPE Price May Mirror Shiba Inu’s 2021 ‘Blow-off’
Expert trader MateFinance recently shared a bullish outlook for PEPE on X, predicting an upcoming rally similar to the “blow-off” Shiba Inu experienced late in the 2021 cycle.
Throughout the post, the trader cited DogWifHat and Pepe to be the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu of this cycle, respectively.He noted how they have captured multi-billion market caps and mindshare for extended periods, putting them at the forefront of the meme coins this cycle.Meanwhile, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have seen much of their attention “sucked out,” reflected in their recent disappointing price action.In the wider meme coin scene, he noted how many other top performers have mostly been driven by fads:
“Everything else is a derivative at this point and [in my opinion] will be limited to a specific meta that has its moment and then fizzles out (see $BODEN, celeb coins, etc).”
But can Pepe mirror Shiba Inu? The trader highlighted a Coinbase listing as crucial for Pepe to replicate Shiba Inu’s success in 2021. He cited this listing as the “instigator” behind the bullish momentum and blow-off that $SHIB experienced late in the 2021 cycle.In response to a comment, the trader expanded on his prediction, eyeing a Pepe market cap exceeding $10 billion this cycle. This would bring the PEPE price to $0.000023.However, he noted how this cycle does differ from 2021 in the prevailing macroeconomic challenges and the fragmented attention in the meme coin space, drawing hands away from the main players. The trader also noted a potential PEPE rally to be a catalyst for other meme coins. He said, “As $WIF and $PEPE (like $DOGE and $SHIB) rise, it will be the rising tide that lifts all boats.”
