- Popcat saw an uptick in volatility that could be good news for lower timeframe traders.
- The technical indicators showed upward momentum is likely to win soon.
Popcat [POPCAT] was on the verge of breaking out past a local resistance area that was also a fair value gap. The on-chain metrics showed that weighted sentiment was negative, but traders might have a profitable few days if POPCAT continues to trend higher.
The volatility of the past few weeks triggered a good deal of liquidations, with most of them being long positions in July. Here’s why the short-term outlook is bullish, even though Bitcoin faced resistance around the $60k territory.

Based on the rally in late June, a set of Fibonacci retracement levels were plotted. The volatility in the past two weeks saw POPCAT retest the 61.8% and nearly test the 78.6% levels at $0.403 and $0.319 respectively.
On the 12-hour chart, the dramatic price plunge on the 3rd of July left behind a fair value gap (white box). This zone was likely to serve as resistance and might rebuff the bulls.
However, the OBV was trending higher despite the recent price retracement. The CMF was also rising above +0.05 to show strong capital inflows.
The momentum was also bullish with an RSI reading of 58, and signaled that the meme coin was likely to break out past the $0.59 resistance.
