PEPE Price Prediction 2025: How High Can the Frog-Themed Meme Coin Leap?

As we approach the latter half of 2025, PEPE (PEPE/USDT) finds itself at a critical juncture. The frog-themed meme coin, which captured crypto traders' imaginations during the 2023 meme coin frenzy, now trades below key moving averages with bearish technical signals. However, an upcoming NFT drop from Wall Street Pepe (WEPE) could provide temporary relief. Our analysis examines PEPE's current technical setup, potential catalysts, and price targets through an objective lens - because in crypto markets, even amphibious assets need solid ground to jump from.

What's the Current Technical Picture for PEPE?

As of August 19, 2025, PEPE trades at 0.00001066 USDT on BTCC exchange, struggling below its 20-day moving average (0.00001112). The MACD histogram shows consistent negative values (-0.00000048), suggesting bearish momentum isn't letting up just yet. Bollinger Bands paint a similar story - with price testing lower support at 0.00000977 while the middle (0.00001112) and upper bands (0.00001246) loom overhead like lily pads just out of reach.

Looking at TradingView charts, Pepe has formed what technical analysts call a "descending triangle" since early July 2025. These patterns typically break downward, but the NFT announcement could be the fly that disrupts the pattern. Volume has been declining since the August 10 sell-off, which either indicates weakening selling pressure or simply that traders have hopped to greener pastures.

Could the WEPE NFT Drop Revive PEPE's Fortunes?

Wall Street Pepe's free NFT mint on August 22 presents an interesting wrinkle. History shows meme coins often get temporary boosts from NFT tie-ins - remember when dogecoin jumped 30% after Elon Musk tweeted about Doge-themed NFTs back in 2024? The 5,000-piece collection prioritizes Alpha Chat members and top community contributors, following the anti-whale ethos that made PEPE popular initially.

However, the BTCC research team cautions that NFT pumps tend to be short-lived unless accompanied by fundamental developments. "We've seen this movie before with other meme coins," notes BTCC analyst Mia. "The NFT news might provide a 5-10% bounce, but sustainable growth requires breaking technical resistance levels."

Key Price Levels Traders Should Watch

Level Price (USDT) Significance
Immediate Resistance 0.00001112 20-day Moving Average
Strong Resistance 0.00001246 Upper Bollinger Band
Critical Support 0.00000977 Lower Bollinger Band

The path of least resistance remains downward until PEPE can reclaim its 20-day MA. If buyers manage to push price above 0.00001112, the next test WOULD be the August 10 swing high at 0.00001246. On the flip side, a break below 0.00000977 could see PEPE croak all the way down to its yearly low around 0.00000850.

How High Could PEPE Realistically Go in 2025?

Given current market conditions, PEPE faces an uphill battle. The meme coin sector has underperformed the broader crypto market for most of 2025 as traders rotated into AI and RWA tokens. That said, if PEPE can break above 0.00001246 with conviction, we could see a move toward 0.00001500 - the 50% retracement level from its 2024 highs.

Seasoned crypto trader "Frogman" Jones (not his real name) shared his perspective: "I'm watching the 0.00001112 level like a hawk. If we get a daily close above that with volume, I'll dip a toe in. But until then, I'm happy watching from the sidelines with my other amphibious friends."
