Pepe Price Forecast: PEPE uptrend likely to continue

Pepe price broke above the descending trendline on Saturday and rallied more than 22% in a couple of days. On Monday, PEPE reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $0.0000275 and retreated afterward.

If PEPE continues its upward trend, the next target is seen at $0.0000336, the 141.40% Fibonacci extension level drawn from the November 4 low of $0.0000077 to the November 14 high of $0.0000260.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 68, trading close to its overbought level of 70. Traders should be cautious when adding to their long positions because the chances of a price pullback are increasing. Still, the RSI is quite stable, so there is the possibility that the rally continues and the indicator edges further up within the overbought level. A clear sell signal would occur if the RSI decisively exited overbought territory.
