CAKE, the native token of decentralized exchange (DEX) PancakeSwap, is today’s top gainer, defying broader market trends.
The token has recorded a modest 3% gain over the past 24 hours, outperforming leading assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which are both down by roughly 1% each during the same period. Technical indicators suggest that the rally could continue as it is backed by significant demand from market participants.
CAKE Climbs as Trading Volume Soars 88%
Amid the lull of the broader market over the past week, CAKE has managed to record gains. Currently trading at $2.48, the token has climbed by 9% since May 31.
This bullish trend continues today, evidenced by the trading volume surge accompanying CAKE’s price growth. The token’s trading volume is up 88% over the past day, pointing to heightened investor interest and growing demand for the DeFi asset.
When an asset’s trading volume rises alongside its price, it signals strong buying interest and confirms the strength of the upward price move. This combination suggests growing investor confidence in CAKE and hints that the upward trend may continue in the near term.
Moreover, readings from the altcoin’s BBTrend indicator support this bullish outlook. Observed on a one-day chart, the indicator is currently at 12.76, posting only green histogram bars since May 9.

The BBTrend measures the strength and direction of a trend based on the expansion and contraction of Bollinger Bands. When it returns red bars (negative values), the asset’s price consistently closes near the lower Bollinger Band, reflecting sustained selling pressure and hinting at the potential for further downside.
Conversely, as with CAKE, when BBTrend values are positive, it typically signals a strong uptrend. At 12.76, the momentum indicator confirms increasing bullish pressure among CAKE holders, suggesting that the current rally may have further room to run.
Bullish Indicators Emerge for CAKE, But Will $2.81 Hold?
CAKE’s rising Relative Strength Index (RSI) lends credence to this bullish outlook. As of this writing, the indicator is at 54.75 and in an upward trend.
The RSI indicator measures an asset’s overbought and oversold market conditions. It ranges between 0 and 100. Values above 70 suggest that the asset is overbought and due for a price decline, while values under 30 indicate that the asset is oversold and may witness a rebound.
CAKE’s current RSI setup shows a steady rise in token accumulation, a pattern that could drive further price growth.
If current sentiment and volume levels persist, CAKE could extend its gains to $2.81 in the near term.
