@00forrest, a crypto expert and trader, argues that meme coin price rallies typically precede a cycle peak in Bitcoin and Ethereum. PEPE, the meme coin inspired by PEPE the frog meme, recently yielded three-digit gains for holders over the past week before its recent pullback.

Alongside PEPE, Shiba-Inu-themed meme coins like Baby Doge Coin (BabyDoge), Dogelon Mars (ELON), and Wojak (WOJAK) started their price rallies. The two meme coins rank in the top 10 in the category by market capitalization.
