Popular meme coin Pepe ($PEPE) is rebounding today, after some adverse overnight price action, adding 5% to its price overnight to change hands at $0.00001259 while 24-hour trading volume hit $1.5 billion.
This balances out a 5% dip in the early hours of the morning UTC.

In spite of today’s small rally, Pepe is still stuck in a trough relative to its price over the last three months.
At its current price it is within spitting distance of hitting a recent stubborn resistance level of $0.000013, as indicated by the red line below.

Pepe’s price is notoriously hard to predict as it has no
