Pepe Coin Price Prediction: 41% Monthly Drop Brings PEPE Below Yearly Low but There's a Catch

PEPE has slipped further in the past few days, joining a broader market capitulation. The meme coin is now hovering near its yearly lows, following a 41% drop over the last 30 days.

The dip now means that PEPE has fully retraced its early-year rally. With momentum still weak, the focus has shifted to whether the token is still in a distribution phase or quietly forming a base for a future recovery.

PEPE Below Yearly Lows After Rally Fades

Like much of the broader crypto market, PEPE has been under steady selling pressure. Meme coins have felt the strain even more, and PEPE has printed a clear pattern of lower highs and lower lows for months.

Notably, the brief rally at the start of 2026 lacked the signs of healthy demand. The move saw PEPE climb quickly to around $0.00000726 in five days without meaningful pullbacks. That kind of price rise often signals unstable momentum rather than sustained buying interest.

Without a clear accumulation near the bottom, the January rally lacked strength. As a result, the token fell just as fast once selling began. Since that January peak, PEPE has given back about 44%, effectively falling below the yearly opening price.

Downtrend Could Continue

While the drop has been sharp, it has not played out as a single panic event. Instead, the decline has followed a steady grind lower, a sign of clear downward momentum. This slower structure suggests the market is still in a distribution phase.

Meanwhile, skepticism and market sell-offs suggest a rebound might still be far off. Moreover, for a recovery to start, there must be clear signs of accumulation, such as higher lows and rising volume on bounces. So far, those signals remain limited.

At the time of writing, PEPE has a valuation of $0.00000404 (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/), down nearly 5% in the past 24 hours. Until clearer support forms, PEPE may continue moving sideways or drift lower. For now, patience appears to be the dominant theme as the market searches for a stable base.

Market Looking Beyond Just Hypes to Utility

Like Pepe Minotaurus (MTAUR) (http://minotaurus.io/insight/80812efd083a76dd4101), a rising star in the crypto world, is captivating analysts with its vast potential. While it shares similar social engagement with DOGE, Minotaurs has something the meme coin lacks: real-world utility.

Minotaurus is a blockchain gaming ecosystem focused on delivering the best on-chain game experience for Web2 and Web3 players. The project is establishing itself as a strong ecosystem, ensuring smooth exchanges and providing steady benefits for those who hold it. With a range of valuable features, the project prioritizes long-term stability over short-term excitement.

MTAUR, the native token of the Minotaurus ecosystem, is positioning itself as a promising bet for those seeking the next big opportunity. The fast-emerging token has a real-world use case and taps into a promising niche, setting it apart from speculative assets.

Priced at 0.00012656 USDT (http://minotaurus.io/insight/80812efd083a76dd4101), MTAUR is an attractive option for those looking to diversify their portfolio and capitalize on glaring bullish trends. The asset has surged by over 220% in no time, sparking speculation of a further rally in both the short and long term.

On the other hand, Minotaurus is committed to its community. The team allocated 10% of its token supply to community incentives through programs such as referral bonuses and a 100,000 USDT giveaway (http://minotaurus.io/insight/80812efd083a76dd4101), which fosters a balanced ecosystem that benefits players, holders, and the community as a whole.
