# Why did Pepe go up 7.8% on October 30, 2026?
PEPE-specific reports about a rebound after the Binance attacker’s sell-off offer the clearest possible explanation for the rise. The price also spiked and then fell back from its high. On October 30, 2026 (UTC), PEPE went from about $0.000005 to $0.000005 (+7.83%) on OKX · USDT, trading between $0.000004 and $0.000005. PEPE's move can't be compared with Bitcoin's yet; the figures below describe the move, not its cause. PEPE rose further than this on 2 of the past 29 days. No PEPE report was collected from the day before to the day after; the cause is unresolved. Since 2023-04-19, PEPE has risen 7% or more in a UTC day 83 times on Gate · USDT daily closes, counting moves within 7 days of each other once. Seven days later it was higher in 33 of 82 cases, with a median change of -3.77%. This is history, not a forecast.
## What may be driving the move
PEPE-specific reports about a rebound after the Binance attacker’s sell-off offer the clearest possible explanation for the rise. The price also spiked and then fell back from its high.
- trigger · medium: Reports published Oct 30 at 14:04 and 14:30 UTC described a rebound after the attacker’s sell-off and a reported purchase of 45.08 billion PEPE. Such dip buying could have supported a rebound, but these are unverified news snippets.
Evidence gap: No independent confirmation or verified purchase timing links the reported buying to the price move; the move’s onset is not established.
Sources: [S13](), [S14]()
Open question: The reports do not establish when the alleged buying occurred or whether it drove the move; the onset is unknown.
