The meme coin market is heating up again.
Neiro Ethereum (NEIRO) is leading the way, surging over 50% in the past day.
Meanwhile, PlayDoge (PLAY) is preparing for its first DEX launch – and now has just six days left before its presale phase ends.
Neiro Ethereum Bounces Back, But Will the Momentum Last?
It’s been a great 24 hours for NEIRO holders.
After a recent stumble that saw its price drop to $0.116, the coin has staged a comeback, surging 51% to reach $0.175 today.
This has erased all the losses sustained over the weekend.
And NEIRO is now eyeing the 50-period EMA on the 4-hour chart as the next key level to break.
Excitement around the coin is ramping up.
Trading volumes have mirrored the price surge, also jumping 51% since yesterday.
NEIRO is even listed on CoinMarketCap’s breakdown of the most visited cryptos in the past day.
It seems everyone’s back believing in the coin’s future.
The big question now is: Can NEIRO continue its upward trajectory, or will it falter like it did last week?
Meme Coins Experience Market-Wide Gains After Bitcoin’s Price Jump
Neiro Ethereum isn’t the only meme coin enjoying a resurgence.
The whole meme coin space is back in action, with gains across the board.
Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are both up around 5%, while Pepe has jumped 11%.
However, it’s Brett that’s been one of the top gainers, up an impressive 17%.
This sudden burst of bullishness likely stems from Bitcoin’s recent climb back above $60,000.
Bitcoin had been dropping for most of last week, but after tapping $58,000 yesterday, the OG crypto has rallied.
And where Bitcoin goes, meme coins tend to follow.
It’s a reminder of how interconnected the crypto market is, given that there hasn’t been any news directly related to meme coins.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a popular proxy for market sentiment, has ticked up to 30 in the past day.
That’s still in “Fear” territory – but it’s an improvement from where it was over the weekend.
Time will tell whether this rally can be sustained.
But for now, investors are enjoying a much-needed break from the bearishness.
PlayDoge’s Presale Nears End After Raising $6.1M – Is This the Next Meme Coin to Rally?
While the big names are rebounding, a complete newcomer is also benefitting from the market conditions.
PlayDoge is in the final countdown of its presale, which will end on August 26th at 10am UTC.
That gives investors just six more days to grab PLAY tokens at the presale price of $0.00531 before they hit the open market.
And PlayDoge’s team isn’t planning to slow down post-presale.
They’re planning to list PLAY on a top DEX immediately after the presale ends.
This listing will be the first time PLAY tokens are available for public trading.
If the excitement in the project’s Telegram group is any indication, people are expecting big things.
But why is everyone so excited?
It’s mainly down to PlayDoge’s combination of the Doge meme with Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanics.
There’s also a hefty dose of nostalgia mixed in for good measure.
In PlayDoge’s game, you get to raise, train, and play with your own digital Doge, earning PLAY tokens along the way.
You can even stake these PLAY tokens for more rewards.
This mix of crypto rewards and retro vibes is fueling the presale demand, with over $6.1 million in funding raised already.
Clearly, many people are betting on PlayDoge being the next big thing.
And with the broader meme coin market back in the green, there’s every chance PLAY could explode in popularity.
