Pepe (CRYPTO: PEPE) has generated significant gains over the past seven days, prompting analysts to foresee further bullish price action.

What Happened: Meme coin analyst and trader Murad highlights how Pepe, a “cult community with more than 10 million unique memes,” could flip Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE):

I think it is possible that $PEPE flips $SHIB and possibly even $DOGE.$PEPE is a cult community with 10,000,000+ unique memes that is perpetually relevant to modern culture, while $DOGE is literally just a single pic and $SHIB has zero memes to speak of.

He calls the meme coin “perpetually relevant to modern culture, while DOGE is just a single pic and SHIB has zero memes to speak of.”

While the crypto community had different reactions to the tweet, some suggested other meme coins like Floki (CRYPTO: FLOKI) that could flip the meme coin leaders instead of Pepe.

One crypto trader stated that “Doge is an OG classic and the first-ever meme coin,” and that PEPE could flip every other meme coin except for Dogecoin.

Price Action: At the time of writing, PEPE was trading at $ 0.000007491, down 3.3% over the past 24 hours but up 50% over the past seven days.
