cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that a timeframe disagreement is creating a tricky setup for Pepe crypto as of September 23, 2026. While the daily chart still carries a bullish label, the intraday tape is cooling, with the D1 RSI14 reading 73.05, which is deep into overbought territory. This warning suggests the move has gotten ahead of itself, though it is not a sell signal by itself. The gap between the dominant daily trend and the cooling intraday action could resolve with a higher-timeframe pull or a deeper short-term slide.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PEPE, measured when this story was written up on 23 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio's Binance spot data for PEPE shows a price of $0.000004990 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 45.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 41.1%, both below the 24-hour buy ratio of 51.1%. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the shorter timeframes compared to the daily average. The 1-hour volume delta is -$558,574 and the 4-hour volume delta is -$2,919,620, meaning more volume is being sold than bought in these recent periods. The 24-hour volume delta is +$2,854,167, showing that net buying has occurred over the full day despite the recent outflow. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) at the 24-hour close is -$2,349,997, and there were 9 hours of net buying out of 24, alongside a spot volume of $123,825,241 and 374,793 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.3% sits at the 48th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?

The recent short-term outflows contrast with the strong weekly accumulation of +$19,828,093.
