Over $1 Million Lost in PEPE Liquidations: Is More Downside Ahead?
Pepe (PEPE), the popular memecoin, finds itself under mounting pressure as technical indicators and on-chain data suggest further downside. With a steep drop in price over the past week and cascading liquidations triggered across major wallets, PEPE is nearing a critical inflection point.
The broader market sentiment has turned bearish, and unless bulls step in decisively, the token could face deeper losses. A series of failed support retests and increasing sell volume have put PEPE in a vulnerable position, and many eyes are now on its next move.
Liquidation Cascade Adds Fuel to the Fire
According to Lookonchain, James Wynn’s PEPE long position in a separate wallet suffered a severe liquidation event. The total losses from this position exceeded $1 million, leaving only $14,850 in the account.
This loss adds to the growing wave of forced sell-offs in PEPE-linked wallets as price support continues to erode. Wynn’s liquidation highlights how vulnerable leveraged positions have become amid growing market volatility.

Besides the losses, this liquidation spree is also impacting trader confidence. With each major account falling under margin pressure, the probability of more downside increases. These liquidations create a snowball effect, amplifying selling pressure across exchanges.

Technical Signals Turn Cautious
Ali Martinez, a crypto analyst, emphasized that PEPE must reclaim the $0.0000118 level to avoid a confirmed bearish breakdown. As of press time, the price is trading at $0.00001041, down over 10% in the past 24 hours.
If bulls fail to regain control above $0.0000118, downside targets could extend toward $0.00001080 and even $0.00000970. Significantly, the chart shows a consistent pattern of lower highs and lower lows since PEPE peaked near $0.00001450.
Furthermore, resistance is currently set around $0.00001170, and without a strong bullish reversal, the downtrend appears intact. A drop below $0.00001080 could trigger additional selloffs, reinforcing bearish dominance.

Triangle Consolidation Hints at Imminent Volatility
Token Talk analysts identified a symmetrical triangle forming on the daily timeframe. The price is coiling within this tightening range, with support currently tested between $0.0000108 and $0.0000115. The current consolidation phase often precedes explosive moves.
A successful defense of this zone, followed by a breakout above the upper trendline, could ignite a rally toward $0.0000130 to $0.0000145.

However, failure to hold support might validate the bearish continuation pattern and drive prices lower. The next few trading sessions could be critical.

Fed Voting Member Harker: Fighting Inflation Requires Faster, More Frequent Small Rate Adjustments, Be Vigilant Against Inflation Expectations Becoming Entrenched
Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester believes that inflation pressures have spread beyond the energy sector, with AI investments and tariffs driving up costs. To prevent high inflation from becoming entrenched in the economy, she suggests that the Federal Reserve should consider smaller, quicker, and more frequent rate adjustments, rather than waiting for inflation pressures to accumulate and then taking larger actions. She did not explicitly support an interest rate hike in October, emphasizing policy transparency: explaining the response mechanism does not equate to committing to a specific rate path.
Will the US cancel 20-year Treasury bonds? BNP Paribas: It may trigger market panic; Citibank: Positioning 20-year bonds to outperform 10-year bonds
There are market rumors that the U.S. Treasury is considering cutting back or canceling the issuance of 20-year Treasury bonds, which were reinstated in 2020. The yield on 20-year bonds has long been higher than both 10-year and 30-year bonds, resulting in a "hump" in the yield curve and higher financing costs. The market is closely watching this Friday’s routine survey questionnaire, as well as whether a clear signal will be released in the quarterly refunding statement on November 4. Citi suggests positioning in advance, but BNP Paribas warns that such a move could be interpreted as a panic signal that policy tools have been exhausted.
