Why Is MemeCore Rallying?

The rally in MemeCore comes after Gate.io confirmed that it will list M for spot trading on September 9, 2025.

As the first Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to “Meme 2.0,” MemeCore is introducing what it calls the “viral economy,” a paradigm where meme coins evolve from speculative assets into cultural and economic forces.

Interestingly, alongside MemeCore, Gate.io also announced the listing of Linea (LINEA) with spot trading beginning on Wednesday.

MemeCore Price Analysis: What’s Next?

MemeCore has been consolidating its rally around the $2.05 mark after briefly touching the upper Bollinger Band near $2.10.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 62.52 suggests that while momentum is strong, the token is not yet in extreme overbought territory, allowing room for further upside.

If M holds above $1.89 support, it could retest resistance near $2.10, with a breakout potentially opening the path toward $2.50.

Conversely, a breakdown below $1.89 could trigger a pullback toward $1.67.

Virtuals Protocol Website Is Back Online

Virtuals Protocol, meanwhile, turned bullish after reassuring its community about platform security.

The team carried out a proactive security scan and maintenance across its ecosystem following reports of compromised npm packages in a supply chain attack elsewhere in the industry.

After confirming zero vulnerabilities, Virtuals Protocol declared its systems safe and fully operational, boosting sentiment among holders and traders.

Despite this, the Accumulation/Distribution indicator shows a negative value of -895.727M, which shows a history of selling pressure.

The Choppiness Index, at 28.26, points to a relatively low level of market choppiness, hinting that a clearer trend may be forming, making VIRTUAL as potentially the next crypto to explode.
