Binance exchange announced it had listed perpetual contracts for Solana meme coin POPCAT on Thursday with up to 75x leverage. The listing means Binance’s wide user base can now gain leveraged exposure to the price of POPCAT. Such listings often translate to significant price growth for a cryptocurrency.

Shortly after Binance’s announcement, KuCoin exchange listed a POPCAT/USDT trading pair on its platform, allowing users to deposit and trade their tokens on its spot market.

Following these announcements, a whale withdrew $5.73 million worth of SOL from Binance to purchase POPCAT, according to Lookonchain’s data.

POPCAT rallies, but risks going into a correction

The positive updates caused a spike in POPCAT’s price, which soared more than 22% in the past 24 hours. The move indicates increased POPCAT buying pressure across exchanges.

The social volume of the meme coin also surged, increasing from a mere 7% to over 53% on Thursday. While the spike in social volume amid rising prices indicates positive investors’ sentiment, a correction sometimes ensues when the crowd is overly bullish.

On the 4-hour chart, POPCAT could face resistance around the $0.7132 key resistance. The 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) could prevent a further price rise for the meme coin.
