Within 24 hours, the token recorded an impressive <strong>pump<\/strong> of over <strong>20%<\/strong>, breaking through several key resistance levels. This sudden awakening comes at a time when the memecoin sector appeared to be searching for direction, oscillating between consolidation and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This impulsive movement is accompanied by a sharp increase in trading volumes, a sign that <strong>whales<\/strong> and retail investors are returning massively to the asset. Unlike a simple technical bounce, this surge suggests a genuine resurgence of interest, potentially fueled by the <strong>FOMO<\/strong> sentiment that is beginning to reinstall itself across social media platforms. For holders, the question now is whether this movement is a mere flash in the pan or the beginning of a genuine <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/understand-cryptocurrency\/bull-run\/\"><strong>bull run<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+z-a5LKRM7HxkNWZk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Profits even in bear markets there !<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"james-wynns-prediction-2026-in-the-crosshairs\">James Wynn&#8217;s Prediction: 2026 in the Crosshairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of this excitement, analyst <strong>James Wynn<\/strong> has thrown a bombshell with a particularly bold prediction. According to him, this surge is merely the prelude to a much larger cycle that should culminate in 2026. Wynn believes the current market structure resembles the <strong>accumulation phases<\/strong> that precede major historical rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Back on Day 1 of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24PEPE&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$PEPE<\/a> when it was at $600k market cap I called it to go to multiple billions.

His thesis rests on the idea that 2026 could mark the beginning of a <strong>&#8220;super season&#8221; for memecoins<\/strong>, where assets like PEPE, now well established in the top 100, would benefit from increased adoption and speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"technical-analysis-breakout-or-bull-trap\">Technical Analysis: Breakout or Bull Trap?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From a purely chartist perspective, PEPE has forcefully broken above the top of its range. If it maintains above the range high at <strong>$0.00000493<\/strong>, it could target the next resistance at <strong>$0.0000055<\/strong>. If this level is also breached, <strong>$0.0000067<\/strong> represents the crucial HTF resistance for PEPE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"PEPE price in 1 day with CVD and range zones\" class=\"wp-image-25303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-1-300x209.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-1-768x535.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the weekly chart shows a significant liquidity zone at this level but most importantly the bullish trendline that was liquidated several weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also possible to observe that PEPE is currently in a historic liquidity zone. The short-term retracement within the range below <strong>$0.0000049<\/strong> remains very much present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"PEPE price in 2 weeks with order block and trendline\" class=\"wp-image-25304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-2-300x209.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/image-2-768x535.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is crucial to remain cautious. In the memecoin universe, a bullish trend can quickly transform into a brutal <strong>correction<\/strong> if profit-taking accelerates. Traders will closely monitor PEPE&#8217;s ability to transform its former resistances into solid supports to confirm the sustainability of this movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This 20% surge is bringing color back to investors&#8217; portfolios and putting PEPE back in the media spotlight. If James Wynn&#8217;s prediction for 2026 proves accurate, we could witness a bull run in the coming years for PEPE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/solana-prediction-sol-january-2026\/\">Solana Prediction: What to Expect for SOL in January 2026?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-predicting-their-prices-for-january-2026\/\">Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP: Predicting their prices for January 2026<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-6-percent-gain-close-2025-green\/\">Bitcoin needs 6% gain to close 2025 in the green: Can it happen?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The renowned meme coin featuring the frog, PEPE, is experiencing a sudden surge of over 20%.
