Investing in Pepe around a month ago would definitely be a smart idea considering that the price did 2x during this period. Just last week, PEPE pumped almost 70%, now trading at $0.000014.

In a recent YouTube video from Crypto Report, trader and content creator Black Sea shared why he’s incredibly bullish on PEPE and believes it still has room to explode this year. The video, titled “PEPE Is PUMPING!,” breaks down market trends, technical analysis, and why PEPE might outperform other meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.

Black Sea posed a fun but serious question: If you had to hold Doge, Shiba, or PEPE for a year, which one would you choose? His answer was clear – PEPE.

He believes that while Doge has Elon Musk and Shiba has some light association with Ethereum’s Vitalik, PEPE has something even more powerful: deep internet culture roots. According to him, PEPE the Frog has been a top-tier meme for years, giving it more “mindshare” than any other meme coin out there.

The video also dives into the technicals. Black Sea points to a bullish trend line that the PEPE price recently broke through. He said closures above this line suggest a strong relief bounce, which is already playing out. From this breakout alone, he claims traders could have caught over 56% gains – and even more if they used leverage.

He’s not just watching PEPE. Black Sea revealed he’s also running a six-figure XRP long and holding spot PEPE. While he’s still cautious about putting a big leveraged bet on PEPE just yet, he’s clearly watching closely and believes the setup is strong.

On top of the technicals, macroeconomic conditions may be working in PEPE’s favor. The video notes that talks of Federal Reserve rate cuts and easing tariffs between the U.S. and China could bring more money flowing into risk-on assets like crypto.

Add to that a declining Bitcoin dominance, and you get the perfect storm for altcoins and meme coins to make big moves. PEPE is already showing this with a 77% gain over the past 7 days at the time of the video.

Right now, PEPE is ranked #25 by market cap. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu still sit much higher, but Black Sea thinks PEPE can catch up – or even pass them. He mentioned a $6.1 billion market cap at the time of recording, which is huge compared to where it was just a couple weeks ago.

He even brought up the possibility of PEPE reaching new all-time highs if Bitcoin pushes toward $110K. If that happens, he expects PEPE to ride the wave and maybe hit the $0.000028 range again.

As for the idea of PEPE hitting $1? He says it would require a massive token burn, so it’s not likely – but multiple Xs are still on the table.

Black Sea wrapped up the video by saying he’s “very bullish on PEPE” and expects explosive price movement by the end of 2025, especially if macro conditions improve and Bitcoin leads the charge. The hype around PEPE is clearly not slowing down.
