Crypto Tony predicts a major $PEPE pump after prolonged consolidation.
Analysts forecast a potential 18.09% price drop by December 2025.
85% of meme coin movements tied to social media sentiment, not fundamentals.
As the crypto market braces for volatility, Crypto Tony (@CryptoTony__) has ignited a firestorm on X with a bold prediction for $PEPE, the meme coin sensation.
In a post, Tony shared candlestick charts highlighting $PEPE’s prolonged consolidation phase, suggesting a “bigger PUMP” is imminent. The charts, spanning mid-2024 to August 2025, show a historical precedent: a significant rally followed a similar range in late 2023, especially after a 20% market volatility spike triggered by US trade tariffs in Q1 2025. This has fueled speculation among traders, with some eyeing a breakout.

However, the forecast isn’t without skepticism. Market analysts from Changelly predict a potential 18.09% drop, with $PEPE possibly dipping to $0.00000827 by December 2025, contrasting Tony’s optimism. Meme coins like $PEPE, known for their lack of intrinsic utility and reliance on community hype, remain a high-risk play. With no tax policy and anonymous founders, its value hinges on social media sentiment—a factor backed by a 2023 Journal of Risk and Financial Management study, which found 85% of meme coin price movements correlate with online buzz rather than fundamentals.
The X thread reveals a polarized community. Some, like @GarrySins, see opportunity with leverage bots, while others, like @Crypto_techh, dismiss $PEPE in favor of utility-driven tokens like $MDAI. Critics, such as @iv6dnknoyrcwc1t, humorously warn of past dump predictions, reflecting the coin’s unpredictable nature. As of today, $PEPE’s fate hangs in the balance, with real-time sentiment on X likely to sway its trajectory.
For Web3 enthusiasts, this is a classic case of hype versus data. While Tony’s analysis taps into technical patterns, the broader market’s volatility and meme coin volatility suggest caution. Will $PEPE defy the odds, or is this another pump-and-dump in the making? Keep an eye on X for the latest developments.
