Many people ask me why I am confident that $PEPE will have another serious move. Let's figure it out.
In this cycle, BTC dominated. Bitcoin holders were very patient — they didn’t touch altcoins while the narrative was strong. This is clearly visible on the BTC.D chart. In December 2024, we saw a slight dip, just when PEPE reached its ATH. I overlaid the previous cycle’s pattern onto the current one — almost a perfect match, slightly extended.
And here’s what’s important: as before, before a major crash of ( dominance, which means a pump of altcoins, everyone was shouting that there wouldn’t be an altseason, crypto was dead. But when BTC revives again, people will realize — oh my God, it’s starting again. And they will have limited time.
The key point here is: money rotation doesn’t come from normies. It’s from people who were in BTC throughout the cycle; now they want to maximize their time in alts. They won’t just switch to dog trash. They will rotate systematically — first from BTC to ETH, then ETH holders who took profits will rotate into beta assets of ETH.
Patient holders have watched for years as countless pump-fun coins fell to zero in minutes. They won’t risk on random projects. They are looking for:
High trading volume
On-chain liquidity — enough for millions of dollars in rotations
Presence on major CEXs
A long history without crashes
) meets all these criteria. It is the cycle leader in each of them. When normies are not even on the radar yet, BTC people will already be rotating down the risk curve. And PEPE is a natural destination for such rotations. This isn’t about hype, it’s about the systemic logic of the cycle.
