Popular Solana [SOL]-based memecoin Popcat [POPCAT] has been making waves in the cryptocurrency landscape with its impressive performance.

On the 24th of October, while major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and Binance Coin [BNB] struggled to gain momentum, the memecoin registered a significant gain.

POPCAT’s current price momentum 

At press time, POPCAT was trading near $1.644 after experiencing a price surge of over 18% in the past 24 hours.

During this period, its trading volume increased by 23%, indicating heightened participation from traders and investors compared to the previous day.

The potential reason for this rally is Solana’s recent consolidation breakout and the growing popularity of Solana-based meme tokens.

Technical analysis and key levels 

According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, POPCAT appeared bullish as it had broken out from a strong consolidation zone between $1.13 and $1.54, shifting sentiment from a downtrend to an uptrend.
