Robinhood Listing Sends MOONDOG and MEW Tokens Soaring – But Can the Rally Hold?

Retail traders piled into MOONDOG and MEW tokens after Robinhood’s surprise listing—typical ’buy the rumor, sell the news’ behavior or the start of something bigger?

Pump first, ask questions later: Both tokens ripped double-digit gains within hours of the announcement. Now the question is whether this is just another crypto sugar rush or if fundamentals (yes, those still matter) can sustain momentum.

Wall Street’s favorite app continues playing crypto matchmaker—just don’t expect them to warn you when the music stops. Remember: in this market, ’strategic listing’ is often code for ’exit liquidity.’

The pump lifted the memecoins into top daily gainers across the solana [SOL] ecosystem on the 23rd of May. But what’s next for traders eyeing these viral gems? 

What’s next for MEW crypto, MOODENG?

For MOODENG, the memecoin jumped 37% on the 22nd of May but gave back some of the gains at the time of writing.

Since the 8th of May, the baby hippo-themed coin has recovered by over 700%. That’s a 8x returns after it tanked over 90% in Q1 and slammed as a ‘vaporware’ by CT (Crypto Twitter).

From a technical perspective, the rally was not over. The price action formed a bullish rising triangle pattern. If validated, a breakout from the pattern may push the memecoin higher to $0.50 — A potential 44% gain.

The massive capital inflows and strong demand, as shown by positive readings on the CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) and RSI (Relative Strength Index), reflected bulls’ leverage. 

MEW speculators were also in a great position for extra gains. At press time, mew was up over 26% in the past 48 hours. 

Interestingly, the extended rally has emboldened bulls after MEW reclaimed the 200-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average, blue) and flipped a previous resistance of $0.0035 into a support (white zone).

Now, the memecoin is back to the 2024 Q1 price range of $0.0035 and $0.0060. Simply put, MEW may tag the upper-range, potentially offering an extra 32% if hit. 

However, the bullish outlook above may be invalidated if MOODENG breaks below the triangle pattern and MEW slips below the $0.0035 support. 

But degens front-ran the Robinhood MEW listing with massive leverage, as shown by a sharp spike in aggregated Open Interest (OI).

On the contrary, spot CVD declined sharply, indicating that the rally was mainly driven by leverage. If the spot market demand fails to improve, a sharp pullback may follow.
