Will the MOODENG Rally Continue Moving Ahead?
Crypto analyst Sneaky has drawn attention to MOODENG’s recent performance, citing “insane buying pressure” over the past two days. According to Sneaky, a reclaim above the $0.32 level could pave the way for a positive continuation. This shows that market analysts see $0.32 as a potential resistance for the meme coin.
On the other hand, MOODENG whales have started building up positions, but putting sell orders on the next resistance levels. As MOODENG continues its upward trajectory, a prominent whale has placed significant sell orders, signaling potential profit-taking.
The whale set limit orders to sell 2 million MOODENG, valued at $543,000, at a price of $0.565. An order to sell 1.1 million MOODENG, worth $298,000, was also placed at $1.11.
Well $Moodeng chart looks pretty interesting to me, insane buying pressure since last two days @MooDengSOL
Reclaim above 0.32$ = door opens for positive continuation & next leg up towards prev high
Ofc depends upon #BTC move but as long as we ride between 100k-104k, won’t hurt… pic.twitter.com/RPmMIX7cOJ
