Crypto whale invested millions of dollars in PEPE memecoin instead of TRUMP

On May 11, 2025, a major investor known as a “crypto whale” redistributed his assets - he sold $9.9 million of TRUMP tokens associated with US President Donald Trump and purchased $16 million of the Pepe (PEPE) memecoin through futures contracts.

This decision, according to Lookonchain analysts, indicates a redistribution of interest in favor of more volatile assets. Since May 6, 2025, the TRUMP token has risen in price by 46%, but on Saturday, May 11, 3.5 million coins worth $52.7 million were sent to exchanges from wallets associated with its team. This behavior has raised suspicions among experts: the operations may be preparation for a massive price decline.

“The whale clearly took profits, fearing an impending correction,” Lookonchain noted.

The Pepe memecoin has grown by 85% in recent days, making it attractive for speculation. However, analysis showed that the whale was bought at the peak of growth, when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reached the overbought level. This indicates the likelihood of a short-term correction.

Based on the data, the correction of TRUMP and PEPE will begin in the coming days. For TRUMP, the key level will be $1.5, below which a collapse to $1.2 is possible. PEPE, despite an 85% increase, may decline by 20-30% with increased profit-taking. Investors following major players should take into account the risks: in conditions of high volatility, even small changes in sentiment can lead to sharp price movements.

Earlier, we reported that the PEPE memecoin price peaked at $0.000009178 , up 75% from its low this year. This increase in the asset's price dynamics coincided with an increase in the number of large PEPE holders in recent months.
