Crypto Whales Accumulate PEPE, CAKE, and WLFI Following Cooler US Inflation Data

Following the US September CPI data release on October 24—which came in cooler than expected at 3.0%—crypto whales are aggressively accumulating several altcoins. The softer inflation print has increased expectations for a potential dovish shift from the Fed, renewing confidence in risk assets and prompting whales to rotate into three specific tokens they anticipate will lead the next rally.


1. Pepe ($PEPE): Technical Conviction

Whales are rotating capital into Pepe ($PEPE), viewing it as a potential beneficiary of easier liquidity should the Fed ease its stance.

  • Whale Activity: Over the last 24 hours, whales added 0.38 trillion PEPE (approximately $2.7 million), increasing their holdings from 155.75 trillion to 156.13 trillion tokens. This accumulation is happening as the probability of an October rate cut climbs above 98%.
  • Technical Outlook: The price is consolidating within a symmetrical triangle pattern, known to precede sharp breakouts. A move above $0.0000072 could trigger a 12% rally toward $0.0000079. The potential for a golden crossover (20-period EMA crossing above 50-period EMA) further signals momentum shifting toward buyers.

2. PancakeSwap ($CAKE): DeFi Upside

PancakeSwap ($CAKE), a DeFi asset often favored during improving market sentiment, is the second token attracting significant whale attention.

  • Whale Activity: Whales shifted positions post-CPI, accumulating over 10.18 million CAKE (roughly $27.3 million), raising total holdings from 44.87 million to 55.05 million CAKE.
  • Technical Outlook: CAKE has displayed a hidden bullish divergence (higher low in price alongside a lower low in the RSI), which often signals continuation of the broader uptrend that has seen the token rise more than 50% over the past year. Breaking the stiff resistance at $2.72 could extend momentum toward the next major resistance at $3.45.

3. World Liberty Financial ($WLFI): Narrative-Driven Bet

The third token on the whales’ radar is World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), a politically charged asset often linked to Trump-related market themes.

  • Whale Activity: Whales sharply increased their exposure by 18.78% in 24 hours, adding approximately $1.57 million worth of tokens. This accumulation is timed not only after the cooler CPI print but also amid anticipation of a potential Trump–Xi Jinping meeting.
  • Technical Outlook: The price shows an early recovery sign with a bullish divergence (lower low in price, higher low in RSI), indicating sellers are losing strength. Breaking resistance at $0.14 could confirm a 15% near-term rally toward $0.15.

The collective accumulation across these three altcoins suggests whales are positioning for a market rebound driven by macro factors and technical signals, with $PEPE and $CAKE offering fundamental conviction and $WLFI offering a high-risk, narrative-driven bet.\
