Top Gainers: RUNE, PEPE, SOL Continues To Record Massive Rally

Bullish momentum has prevailed in the THORChain (RUNE), Pepe Coin (PEPE), and Solana (SOL) during the previous 24 hours. These three cryptocurrencies have seen substantial price rises, with RUNE and SOL attaining annual highs and PEPE bulls able to push the price to an 8-week high. Will the rally continue for RUNE, PEPE, and SOL? 

THORChain (RUNE) Soars Over 15%

Despite beginning the day with negative momentum that brought the THORChain (RUNE) price to an intra-day low of $3.30, the bulls swiftly seized control and drove the price up to a new a-year high of $4.00. RUNE was trading at $3.79 at press time, representing a 13.39% increase from the support level.

The strong positive momentum suggests that the RUNE/USD may continue to rise, with resistance levels around $4.20 and $4.50 likely to be challenged soon. As a result, RUNE’s trading volume and market capitalization increased by 13.43% and 158.80%, to $1,281,276,817 and $350,194,020, respectively.

Despite the barrier, PEPE was trading 11.90% higher at $0.000001286 at the time of writing.

PEPE’s market capitalization and 24-hour trading volume increased by 12.13% and 330.15%, respectively, to $540.73 million and $385.91 million during the rally, demonstrating investors’ rising confidence and demand for PEPE.
