PEPE, the cryptocurrency associated with an internet meme of a green anthropomorphic frog, had a significant dip on May 6 after its price more than doubled the previous day on the heels of reports that it would be listed on Binance and other cryptocurrency exchanges.
On May 5, PEPE's price reached a new record high before profit-taking ensued.
The PEPE price fell to lows of $0.0000023 on May 6 — nearly 100% below its previous day's high of $0.0000046 — before buyers once again bought the dip.

Tomiwabold OlajideAccording to CoinMarketCap data, PEPE ranks as the 44th largest cryptocurrency with a current market cap of $1,092,555,333.

PEPE's astonishing rise
While the PEPE price has sharply risen in the barely three weeks since its launch, the possibility of a sustained price hike in the coming days and weeks remains unknown.
While some believe PEPE might have reached a local top after its listing on Binance, seasoned trader Bob Loukas believes it might be comical to think so.
According to Loukas, "Seeing people call tops in these meme coins like PEPE because MCAP is comical. They have no intrinsic value, so they're technically worthless and also technically priceless. Respect the pumps. respect getting dumped. I'm not in any, but damn can appreciate the culture."
Meanwhile, PEPE might remain in a range in the coming weeks as traders pull profits.
