Investors’ eyes on PEPE and UNi as price dip

As of now, the overall market is experiencing a massive decline, with top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and others experiencing a price drop of 5-6%. Amid this mild crash in the market, whales, retailers, and institutions are looking to accumulate. On June 10, 2024, the on-chain analytics firm LookOnChain made a post on X, highlighting that whales and fresh wallets are buying Uniswap (UNI), Pepe (PEPE), and other tokens.

Whale eyes on  PEPE and UNI amid price drop

According to

LookOnChain, in the last hour, the whale address 0x3492 withdrew a massive 870K UNI tokens worth $8.5 million from the OKX cryptocurrency exchange. Another whale address, 0xe841, withdrew a massive 7.69 million Bluzelle (BLZ) tokens worth $2.16 million from the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.

Additionally, two more whale addresses, 0x81cC and 0xf226, have withdrawn a massive 304.4 billion PEPE tokens worth $3.4 million from Binance. This huge withdrawal of UNI, PEPE, and BLZ highlights whales’ interest and confidence in these tokens. This is not the only purchase whales have made during this market fall. On June 8, 2024, a PEPE whale purchased over 448 billion tokens worth $5.48 million during the price fall, whereas on June 6, 2024, Shiba Inu (SHIB) whales purchased 1.35 trillion tokens worth $35.2 million during the price drop.

However, there is no negative news or any regulatory updates in the market causing this market fall. There might be a possibility that this recent price fall or market correction is due to massive long liquidation leverage. Additionally, this price correction might be a signal for a potential bull run.
