POPCAT is showing early signs of life as it presses against a level it hasn’t cleared in over two months. But can this altcoin finally shift momentum and kickstart a fresh trend? POPCAT (POPCAT) is currently trading at a region that has historically acted as a price ceiling, the $0.39 level.

Hedera’s recent pump has caught attention, but zooming out tells a different story. Price is tapping into a familiar technical zone that previously triggered a major drop, but will history repeat itself? Despite a short-term rally, Hedera (HBAR) continues to trend lower on the higher time frames. The current price action mirrors a past setup that resulted in a significant macro lower high. This historical parallel presents a technical case for caution, especially as Hedera tests a critical resistance zone. Key technical points Hedera is currently trading at the point of control and 0.618 Fibonacci—identical confluence to the last macro…
