On February 14th, amid the overall downturn in the crypto market, MOODENG unexpectedly surged, becoming one of the few meme coins to rise against the trend. Data shows that the token increased by approximately 16% over the past 24 hours, while mainstream assets remained in a consolidation phase. Notably, despite shrinking market-wide trading volume, MOODENG’s trading activity significantly intensified, creating a rare divergence between price and volume.
From a capital structure perspective, this rally was mainly driven by derivatives trading. In the derivatives market, MOODENG became one of the top gainers of the day, with liquidation data indicating that both long and short forced liquidations rapidly expanded, and leveraged buying became the core force behind the price increase. Some on-chain data also shows that MOODENG’s trading volume in decentralized liquidity pools within the Solana ecosystem surged significantly, with daily trading volume surpassing $4.6 million. Transaction counts and active addresses increased in tandem, indicating a clear short-term bullish sentiment.
The market enthusiasm is also reflected in the rankings on community and tracking platforms. MOODENG briefly ranked among the top Solana meme coins in terms of attention, alongside popular projects like PENGU, with high discussion volumes, suggesting that speculative capital is rapidly accumulating.
Technically, MOODENG remains in a strong momentum zone, but there is clear resistance at the $0.0558 level. If a short-term pullback to around $0.047 finds support, a retest of the $0.058 area could be possible; once volume breaks through, $0.06 will become the new key target. Conversely, if leveraged funds continue to withdraw, the price may fall back to lower levels.
It is worth noting that funding rates have shown signs of weakening, indicating some traders are beginning to lock in profits. Leveraged-driven markets tend to be volatile and fast-moving, and the future trend will depend on whether more spot buying support emerges. In a high-volatility environment, MOODENG still has potential, but risks should not be overlooked.
