Will Moo Deng join the $1 trading price club among memecoins?

This is followed by a long period of low volume sideways momentum, forming what appears to be an accumulation base between $0.05 and $0.10.
In May this year, Moo Deng broke out of this range with explosive volume, rallying back above $0.30 before pulling back, indicating a bullish breakout and potential bottom correction.
When writing, Moo Deng seems to be forming a cup and handle pattern, which is termed a classic bullish continuation setup. The price retested the $0.30 range and is now consolidating around $0.20 with increasing volume, suggesting that bulls are slowly regaining control.
The identified support levels of Moo Deng lie around $0.13 and $0.17, the immediate resistance stands near $0.26 and then $0.33. If it breaks above resistance with strong volume, the next psychological target is $0.50, followed by a possible attempt at the $1 milestone.
Until publishing, the MACD line is above the signal line, showing bullish momentum. If buying pressure continues and retail hype picks up, it could enter fresh price discovery.
