POPCAT breaks out from prolonged consolidation
On the back of this breakout, the sentiment around POPCAT might be poised to shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. In fact, the memecoin already registered a price surge of over 23%. However, at press time, some minor price correction seemed to be underway.
The last two and a half months have not been favorable for the memecoin, as it faced sustained bouts of downside momentum leading to a price drop of over 70%. In addition to the price decline, the memecoin has also faced resistance from a trendline. This has contributed to a price reversal whenever POPCAT’s price approached it.
