Popcat Retest $1.4 Resistance Level

Memecoin sensation Popcat has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies over the past three months. Despite the market retraces, the token outperformed most cryptocurrencies, becoming the first cat-themed memecoin to achieve a $1 billion market capitalization.

In the last 30 days, Popcat has seen a 108% surge, hitting three new ATHs since breaking the $1 barrier. After reaching its latest ATH of $1.56 a week ago, the cryptocurrency has been on a 7-day downtrend.

The memecoin unsuccessfully attempted to break above the trendline earlier this week, facing a correction toward the $1.2 support level. Popcat bounced 16.6% from this zone on Thursday, propelling the token’s surge toward the $1.3 resistance level.

On the last day, the cryptocurrency retested the trendline twice after surpassing the $1.4 mark. A successful reclaim of this zone could propel the price toward a new ATH.

A market watcher considers that if Bitcoin’s price holds, Popcat should successfully break this level by next week. It’s worth noting that the cat-themed token followed BTC’s lead on Friday morning, surging 2.4% as the flagship cryptocurrency neared the $69,000 mark.

Is A Correction Looming?

Crypto analyst Sanchez noted that the memecoin’s price was “running flat�in the four-chart on Friday morning. To the analyst, the cat-themed token’s performance “looked good�for another leg up but suggested the possibility of another correction ahead of the breakout.

Ideally, we get a good reaction around ~1.29 to make the C more complete, and the cat starts popping again

A drop from the $1.3 mark could send Popcat’s price toward the $1.1-$1.0 mark. Trader Crypto Tony suggested that the cryptocurrency could see a retest of the monthly opening of around $1.01 in case of a rejection.

Despite the correction forecast, the memecoin has seen a 7% increase in the last 24 hours, trading 8.7% below its ATH. Popcat reclaimed the $1.3 mark and is attempting to confirm the breakout and regain the $1.4 resistance level.

Analyst CryptoGodJohn stated that the cryptocurrency “looks like it wants new ATHs and beyond this weekend�following its recent performance. Additionally, crypto trader Bluntz noted that Popcat’s price could achieve a 30% surge toward a new all-time high.

To Bluntz, a rise toward the $1.7 mark might be coming short-term after “getting real close to a biddable level�this week, but “would like to see one more sweep.�/p>

As of this writing, Popcat trades at $1.41, an 8.3% surge in the weekly timeframe.

Among the standout performers is Popcat (POPCAT), which has experienced a remarkable 36% spike in just 24 hours, bringing the token close to its all-time high achieved in July of this year, underscoring the renewed enthusiasm for memecoins amidst changing economic conditions.

Popcat Records Nearly 100% Gain In A Month

On Wednesday, NewsBTC reported that the Federal Reserve announced its first rate cut in four years, reducing the federal funds rate by 0.50 percentage points. This adjustment marks a significant shift since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, lowering the target range to 4.75%�%, down from 5.25%�.5%. 

These rates were the highest seen since 2001, and the decision is seen as a bullish signal for the broader market, suggesting potential price increases shortly, even as volatility is expected.

In response to this news, Solana saw nearly a 10% surge in the last 24 hours, edging closer to the $150 mark after successfully reclaiming key support levels. This momentum has fostered renewed confidence in tokens built on the Solana network, exemplified by Popcat’s performance.

Currently trading at $0.918, Popcat is now just 7% shy of its all-time high of $0.993 reached two months ago. The latest increase coincides with a staggering 236% rise in trading volume, nearing the $200 million mark within just 48 hours, according to CoinGecko data. 

Looking at longer time frames, Popcat has demonstrated significant growth, recording a 44% increase over the past week and a 62% rise over the last two weeks. 

This translates to nearly a 100% gain in the past month, particularly striking compared to larger cryptocurrencies that have faced losses following significant market downturns on August 5 and September 6.

Key Levels To Watch For The Solana-Based POPCAT

Despite the uptrend recorded, POPCAT encountered challenges in maintaining its momentum earlier today. The token reached a daily high of $0.936 but struggled to consolidate above a critical resistance level at $0.939 on its POPCAT/USDT daily chart. 

This resistance has emerged as one of the last significant hurdles for Popcat before it can approach its all-time highs recorded in July. Should the token break through this barrier, the next resistance level is $0.971. 

Not surpassing both levels could lead to a brief phase of consolidation, which may be necessary for the token to gain the strength required to push further upward. However, if the current uptrend loses momentum, the inability to break these resistance levels could hinder Popcat’s progress.

On the downside, bullish investors should closely monitor the $0.834 level, as it serves as the nearest support floor for the memecoin. It could indicate a potential correction if the price falls below this support. 

In such a scenario, the next support level on the daily chart is significantly lower at $0.72. If the price reaches this level, it would represent a considerable decline of approximately 21% from its current trading price of $0.918.
