SUI price prediction as Poodlana enters final 7-day countdown

  • Sui price was up 28% in the past 24 hours to lead market gainers.
  • Poodlana on the other hand had reached $5.8 million in presale with under 7 days left.

Sui (SUI) has exploded 28% in the past 24 hours to rank among the top altcoin performers as cryptocurrencies surge amid Bitcoin’s breakout to $60k.

Also trending is Poodlana (POODL), a new dog-themed meme coin on Solana that has raised more than $5.8 million in just over three weeks in presale.

Poodlana presale countdown: under 7 days left

BTC, ETH and SOL are some of the top coins to watch as cryptocurrencies seek to strengthen upside momentum. Sui is also getting noticeable traction as a top crypto investor and analyst points out its performance against peers.

However, one of the new market entrants making waves is Solana-based crypto Poodlana (POODL). Investors eyeing the potential meme coin run have taken position with this poodle-inspired Solana meme coin.

Poodlana has raised over $5.8 million in 22 days as it captures the attention of crypto enthusiasts and high-end fashion alike across the market. Top of the ladder has been its hot trending in Asia where crypto, meme coins and poodles are a hot blend.

Currently in stage 8, Poodlana has only seven days left before its POODL presale ends. The token will immediately list on Raydium. The project also eyes several top tier exchanges and currently rewards its community for reposting its wishlist on X.

Its possible one of the top crypto exchanges may be poised to list POODL. 

The date to mark on the calendar, in this case is August 16, 2024.

Sui price prediction: Raoul Pal shares bullish view

While XRP saw a decent surge amid latest Ripple news, SUI is the top performing altcoin in the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap. The altcoin, currently ranked 37th with a market cap of $2.1 billion, is up 29% in 24 hours – outpacing Ethereum, Solana and XRP, which has slipped below $0.60 after a sharp spike on Thursday.

Sui’s price hovers around $0.83, its highest level since July 22. Raoul Pal, the founder and CEO of Real Vision, predicts the Layer-1 blockchain’s native token could be one of this cycle’s top coins to watch.

Pal, a major proponent for Solana, describes Sui as an “ultra-fast L1, super efficient, full blockchain ecosystem that came out of Meta’s Diem project.”

“$SUI is starting to look very interesting from a price perspective, although still early and unconfirmed, it is showing signs of breaking out against most tokens,” the Real Vision CEO pointed out in a post on X.

Apart from USD, SUI is also showing potential breakout patterns against Aptos, Celestia, Near Protocol and Avalanche. Pal also notes that the altcoin is signaling a similar trajectory with the SUI/BTC and SUI/SOL pairs.

Looking at SUI/USD, the daily chart has the pair above the descending channel resistance line and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above the 50 point market to suggest bulls are strong.

The bullish cross-over for the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also suggests buyers may extend upside despite the huge gains seen the past two days.

Poodlana price prediction: Will POODL explode?

While L1 tokens like Sui could surge to test recent highs, the meme coin market stands as one of the sectors with marked volatility. Notable projects such as dogwifhat, Bonk and Brett continue to excite after hitting major gains post-launch.

According to some analysts, Poodlana has the potential to outperform these meme coins. Crypto GEMs is one of the analysts to share such a bullish view. 

POODL price is currently at $0.0458 and will reach $0.0539 in the final presale stage before listing on Raydium at $0.06.

The buzz around Poodlana combined with the potential for meme coins to flourish as cryptocurrencies soar suggests POODL could see a significant explosion when it begins trading after the presale closes on Aug. 16.

Coinbase and MicroStrategy climb as Bitcoin reclaims $59k

  • Coinbase and MicroStrategy stocks rose 6% and 7% respectively as Bitcoin surged to above $59,000.
  • Analysts say crypto markets may be choppy amid potential bearish catalysts.

Coinbase and MicroStrategy stocks have climbed more than 6% each on Aug. 8 (as of 2 pm ET), gains that come as the price of Bitcoin broke above $59,000.

The Coinbase (COIN) stock traded around $192.30 while MicroStrategy’s MSTR hovered near $134. 23.

Bitcoin’s surge sees it extend recent momentum since reclaiming support above $50,000. According to data on CoinGecko, the flagship cryptocurrency is up 7% in the past 24 hours. Losses over the past week have shrunk to about 5%.

Amid this, crypto analyst Ali Martinez says long-term holders have aggressively bought the recent dip.

Short term outlook

This positive movement for BTC comes as XRP led the crypto market higher after the latest court ruling in the Ripple vs. SEC case. XRP traded to above $0.63 to help Stellar (XLM) and other altcoins higher. Ethereum also breached the $2,600 mark.

However, XRP is poised at a key resistance zone and Ethereum may yet have to battle bearish pressure from potential selling.

“There is a potential cap on the topside in the near term with Jump Trading continuing its ETH liquidations (21,394 $wstETH ~$63.6M left) and Plus Token Ponzi 2 ETH wallets moving a total of 25,757 ETH ($63.1M) in the last 30 hours,” analysts at QCP Capital wrote.

The broader market is also still largely tinged with caution as analysts point to jitters around the global macro environment and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. In this case, crypto could still see a retreat amid a choppy month or so.

Poodlana token listing nears as Ripple ruling boosts sentiment

  • Poodlana is slightly over a week away from its first exchange listing. 
  • The bulls keen on buying the dip in major cryptos have an equally large appetite for meme coins.
  • XRP has been up by 18.53% over the past 24 hours following the favorable ruling on Wednesday.

 

After cryptos’ Black Monday, bulls have been keen on buying the dip, something that has yielded the observed rebound. It is these same bulls that are looking to lock in gains in the latest viral project, Poodlana. 

Notably, the easing fear, coupled with the ruling by a federal judge on Wednesday, has also seen XRP rise by 18.53% over the past 24 hours. 

Ripple’s favorable ruling

On Wednesday, federal judge Analisa Torres ordered Ripple Labs Inc. to pay a fine of $125 million for violating securities law. This is significantly below the $900 million in civil penalties and $1 billion disgorgement & prejudgment interest sought by SEC. 

The unsuccessful attempt by the commission to appeal the ruling, and the subsequent publishing of the judgment, saw XRP trade in the green for the third day in a row. The bulls are striving to sustain it above $0.60000 after dropping below it a week ago.

The verdict is important for Ripple and other altcoins like Solana and Polkadot. For one, it means that there are higher chances that the SEC will start receiving and ultimately approve more Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

Poodlana token listing approaches

Meanwhile, enthusiasts of meme coins are eagerly awaiting the end of Poodlana’s presale and its subsequent listing on Raydium. The outstanding hype surrounding the project positions it to be the biggest Solana listing of 2024, possibly even outperforming Dogecoin. 

Just 10 days after the meme coin launch that went viral across Asia and beyond, it raised over $3 million in its presale. With 8 more days to go, this figure has risen to $5.6 million as of the time of writing. 

This one-of-a-kind traction is founded on several aspects. To begin with, the poodle-inspired project is a combination of two sectors with a major global appeal; cryptocurrency and fashion. Hence the presentation of the meme coin as the “Hermes of Crypto”.

Hype and facts alike,  meme coin investors and the overall crypto community have one question driving their decision; if Poodlana can achieve this in less than 30 days, how much more will it be worth upon hitting the market. 

Interestingly, some tokens have been subject to a lock-up period of several months or even a year. This is quite different from Poodlana whose first exchange listing will be on 16th August at 12:00 PM UTC – just 60 minutes after the end of its presale. 

As such, it’s a brainer – this is the apt time to purchase POODL tokens at a major discount. Its current price as indicated on its website is $0.0458. In about two days, the next stage price will be at $0.0499 and will continue rising every 72 hours to a listing price of $0.060. This means that those who buy at the current price will already have significant gains locked in when it hits the markets.  You can buy the POODL token here.

Crypto price prediction: Solana, Poodlana, Bitcoin

  • SOL is among the well-recovered assets, but it’s not out of the woods yet.
  • 10 days ahead of the end of its presale, POODL has raised over $5 million. 
  • Bitcoin seems set for a dead cat bounce.

As the markets stabilize, Solana has emerged as one of the top crypto gainers in Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, one of the meme coins under the Solana network, Poodlana, has already raised over $5 million – 10 days ahead of its presale end. With its viral traction, it gives a one-of-a-kind opportunity for lovers of meme coins to earn heftily from modest investments. 

SOL not out of the woods yet

Solana, the fifth largest cryptocurrency, extended its gains on Tuesday after the huge bearish wave that swept across markets at the beginning of the week. After dropping to a five-month low at $110.47 on Sunday, it rose back above the $150 mark on Tuesday. 

As at the time of writing, it was trading at $152.12; equating to a 9.15% increase over a span of 24 hours. At the same time, its market cap and volume was at $70.9 billion and $ 5.5 billion respectively. 

The close to 40% gain recorded over the past two days comes amid the heightened discussions regarding SOL ETF(exchange-traded fund). Granted, the natural recovery phenomenon across markets has also contributed to the rally.   

With regards to the  SOL ETF, there is heightened optimism that it will likely be the 3rd spot token availed to investors after BTC and ETH. 

A look at the chart below shows SOL is not out of the woods yet. On the one hand, it formed a bullish hammer candlestick on Sunday. However, it is still trading below the 20 and 50-day EMAs. 

As the markets stabilizes, the region of 140 will likely be a steady support level in the ensuing sessions. However, it will likely face substantial resistance around 159.47. As such, the crypto may remain within the aforementioned range in the short term. Success in breaking that barrier will then have the bulls eyeing the next resistance level of 170.05. 

Poodlana already past the $5 million mark with 10 more days to go

Increased interest in the SOL blockchain has seen meme coins within the network record substantial gains.In the past 24 hours, HahaYes, Ginnan The Cat, and YAWN have risen by 225.4%, 117.9%, and 170.2% respectively. 

There are these meme coins, and then there is Poodlana, the “Hermes of Crypto”. POODL has captured the attention of the fashion-savvy populace and the constantly growing number of crypto enthusiasts. Seeing that the two industries are enormous sectors expected to continue growing, the poodle-themed meme coin might just be the biggest Solana listing yet. 

At the moment, Shiba Inu and Dogecoin and the dominating dogs in the crypto market. However, the love for crypto and the fashion-centric poodle places POODL on the right path for dominance. 

Since launching its presale on 17th July, this largely talked-about coin has raised $5.50 million. So heightened is the hype that in just 10 days after the launch of its presale, it raised over $3 million. The one-month presale is set to end on 16th August. 

As indicated on the project’s website, the current price is $0.0458 and is expected to rise to $0.0499 in its next stage. At the set listing price of $0.060, there is a huge opportunity for investors to make big bucks before and once it goes live on the trading market.

Indeed, the meme coin market has a huge return potential despite the associated risks. Based on its viral traction, a modest investment on POODL can yield immense returns. 

Bitcoin likely in a dead cat bounce situation

BTC dropped below the psychological level of $50,000 on 5th August for the first time since 14th February. While it has since recouped some of those losses, it lacks enough momentum to break the previously steady support zone of $57,500. 

A look at the technicals shows the possibility of a dead cat bounce. With an RSI of 33, it will likely make temporary gains before embarking on a downtrend. 

As the markets stabilize, it may gather enough momentum to push past the $60,000 mark. However, to reverse the current downtrend, it will need to move past the 50-day EMA at $62,880.

Michael Saylor’s bet on Bitcoin paying off, his BTC holdings now valued at $1B

  • Michael Saylor personally holds $1 billion in Bitcoin, owning 17,732 BTC.
  • MicroStrategy holds 226,500 BTC, valued at over $12 billion, with a $37,000 average cost.
  • Saylor views Bitcoin as a superior, secure asset and advocates continuous investment.

In a recent interview on Bloomberg Television, Michael Saylor, the Chairman of MicroStrategy, revealed he holds Bitcoin worth approximately $1 billion.

This makes him one of the most prominent BTC holders in the world, joining the ranks of figures such as Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao, the Winklevoss Twins, and Satoshi Nakamoto.

Michael Saylor has not sold any of his BTC holdings

Saylor’s endorsement of Bitcoin as a capital investment asset is both passionate and unwavering. In his discussion with Bloomberg’s Sonali Basak on August 7, Saylor confirmed that he possesses a significant personal stack of Bitcoin, which he first disclosed four years ago.

At that time, he announced owning 17,732 BTC, a figure that has only grown since.

Despite the significant appreciation of Bitcoin’s value over the years, Saylor has not sold any of his holdings, continuously acquiring more of the cryptocurrency.

Seeing Bitcoin as a generational wealth asset

For Saylor, Bitcoin represents more than just a speculative investment. He describes it as a revolutionary financial tool, superior to both physical and traditional financial capital.

According to Saylor, Bitcoin is an unparalleled asset that offers generational wealth potential for individuals, families, corporations, and even countries. His commitment to Bitcoin is rooted in its perceived stability and security, as well as its ability to preserve value over time.

During the interview, Saylor emphasized his belief that “there is never a bad time to buy Bitcoin.” He likened Bitcoin to “cyber Manhattan,” suggesting that investing in it is akin to acquiring prime real estate in the most coveted location.

This analogy highlights his conviction that Bitcoin, as a scarce and desirable asset, will always hold significant value, regardless of market fluctuations.

MicroStrategy has accumulated 226,500 BTC under Saylor’s leadership

Saylor’s investment philosophy extends beyond his personal holdings to his leadership of MicroStrategy. Under his guidance, the company has amassed a substantial Bitcoin reserve, totalling 226,500 BTC, valued at over $12 billion.

This massive investment represents a significant portion of the company’s balance sheet. MicroStrategy’s average cost per Bitcoin stands at approximately $37,000, and the company is set to execute a 10-to-1 stock split, which could further impact its financial structure and stock performance.

In addition to discussing his personal holdings, Saylor also addressed Bitcoin’s broader implications for corporate finance. He asserts that Bitcoin can “fix” corporate balance sheets by providing a secure and stable asset for long-term investment.

Saylor points to Bitcoin’s immense computational and electrical power, which he argues makes it “nation state resistant” and “nuclear-hardened.” He proudly notes that the Bitcoin network consumes more electricity than the United States Navy, a testament to its robust security and resilience.

However, Saylor’s enthusiasm for Bitcoin is not just limited to its investment potential. He views cryptocurrency as a groundbreaking technological advancement, with the power to reshape financial systems globally.
