Raydium Price Surges to Highest Level Since December 2021 Amid Network Growth
Raydium has experienced a significant price surge, reaching its highest level since December 2021, driven by the growth of its network. The token’s price has risen by over 8,000% from its 2023 low, crossing the critical resistance level at $8.
Network Volume and Meme Coin Surge
The surge in network volume, fueled by the growth of meme coins like Official Trump and Melania, has contributed to Raydium’s price rally. According to recent data, Raydium processed a record $42 billion in volume last week, surpassing many centralized exchanges. This broke its previous weekly record of $27 billion.
Trading Volume and Market Share
Raydium’s 30-day trading volume has reached nearly $100 billion, outpacing Uniswap’s $90 billion and PancakeSwap’s $62 billion. Notably, Raydium operates solely on Solana, while Uniswap spans 22 chains and PancakeSwap operates on six.
Expansion into Perpetual Futures
Raydium is now targeting a more lucrative section of the crypto industry: perpetual futures. The total futures volume stood at over $108 billion last week, with Hyperliquid and Jupiter having the biggest market share. Raydium aims to leverage its popularity in the spot market to capture a share of the futures industry.
Token Buyback Program
Raydium has continued its token buyback program to support the RAY token. On Tuesday, it repurchased 1.6 billion tokens, bringing the total buyback to 55 million. This means about 10% of the token supply is now held in buybacks.
Technical Analysis
The daily chart shows that the RAY price has continued its strong rally this week as volume surged. The token has flipped the key resistance level at $6.50, which marked its highest point in November 2022.
Key levels to watch:
- The Relative Strength Index and other oscillators continue to rise, with the next target set at $10.
- A drop below the key support level at $6.50 would invalidate the bullish outlook.
