This makes it the 82nd-largest cryptocurrency and the 7th-biggest in the meme coin sector.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1428932\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1428932\" style=\"width: 837px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PIPPIN-1-1.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1428932\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PIPPIN Price, Source: CoinGecko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Its impressive performance has caused traders to open long positions in anticipation of further gains. X user Tryrex <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Tryrexcrypto\/status\/2022970373034094756\" target=\"_blank\">disclosed<\/a> an entry at $0.695 with 7x leverage, a stop-loss placed at $0.6034, and aims to take profits if the valuation reaches $0.9755.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, they <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Tryrexcrypto\/status\/2023080799751602489\" target=\"_blank\">made<\/a> a slight amendment, moving the stop-loss to $0.6125 and \u201cslightly increasing\u201d the position. \u201cThat means I\u2019m aiming for 3.4R. The target remains $0.97,\u201d the trader added.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto Tony <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoTony__\/status\/2022667097814548530\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> they are awaiting a test of the $0.78 level to see whether \u201cthe bulls can flip the high and continue, or if we then look for shorts.\u201d For now, the analyst remains spot long on PIPPIN.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that not all traders are so bullish. X user Nehal <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nehalzzzz1\/status\/2023278057545716170\" target=\"_blank\">identified<\/a> a potential short setup, describing the $0.75-$0.72 range as a good entry zone, with $0.63, $0.56, and $0.51 as the next targets, and placing a stop-loss at $0.81.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<h2 id=\"tread-carefully\">Tread Carefully<\/h2>\n<p>People considering whether to deal with PIPPIN should be extremely cautious for several reasons. First, it is part of the meme coin sector, widely regarded as one of the most volatile areas of the cryptocurrency market. Tokens from that niche can rise by double and triple digits in a short period of time, but they may also collapse just as quickly to literally zero.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, many argue that PIPPIN\u2019s use cases are questionable (to say the least), while its pump is primarily driven by pure speculation. X user van00sa <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/van00sa\/status\/2023054707527397738\" target=\"_blank\">believes<\/a> that insiders hold more than 80% of the meme coin\u2019s supply, which could enable them to manipulate its price.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cLast cycle, this thing hit $330M and crashed 90% to $8M. Now it\u2019s back up double with even less fundamentals than before. Generational short imo. Just make sure your risk tolerance is high,\u201d she warned.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shual is also among the critics. The X user <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/0xShual\/status\/2022385886466547811\" target=\"_blank\">thinks<\/a> PIPPIN\u2019s rise is driven entirely by supply control and manipulation, and that the success of such coins (albeit short-lived in many cases) could damage the reputation of the entire crypto industry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>SECRET PARTNERSHIP BONUS for CryptoPotato readers: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/goto\/bingxpromo\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Use this link<\/a> to register and unlock $1,500 in exclusive BingX Exchange rewards (limited time offer).<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pippin-pippin-skyrockets-by-300-in-2-weeks-how-are-traders-playing-it\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; PIPPIN is now the 7th-largest meme coin.
