However, during the previous trades this trader gained $11.47 million in a single transaction before losing $741,000 during the second one.

The fact that the price broke above the descending resistance line that existed since 13 May indicated a potential strong upward pressure. The next diagram shows the point at which the price broke above the resistance level. ![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/16885310412.png) PEPE Token Breaks above the Descending Resistance Level - TradingView In the above screenshot, the green dot shows the point where the mentioned whale purchased 3.43 trillion PEPE Tokens.
