As the first Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to “Meme 2.0,” MemeCore is introducing what it calls the “viral economy,” a paradigm where meme coins evolve from speculative assets into cultural and economic forces.
Interestingly, alongside MemeCore, Gate.io also announced the listing of Linea (LINEA) with spot trading beginning on Wednesday.
MemeCore Price Analysis: What’s Next?
MemeCore has been consolidating its rally around the $2.05 mark after briefly touching the upper Bollinger Band near $2.10.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 62.52 suggests that while momentum is strong, the token is not yet in extreme overbought territory, allowing room for further upside.

If M holds above $1.89 support, it could retest resistance near $2.10, with a breakout potentially opening the path toward $2.50.
Conversely, a breakdown below $1.89 could trigger a pullback toward $1.67.
