Floki (FLOKI), the fifth-largest memecoin, has emerged as a standout performer in the cryptocurrency market, which is currently dominated by bearish sentiment. On August 28th, while the broader market experienced a 5.7% decline, FLOKI bucked the trend with a notable 2.6% price increase.

Bullish Momentum for FLOKI

This recent price surge has sparked optimism among investors, as FLOKI successfully retested a bullish double-bottom pattern. This technical move suggests that the memecoin could see a significant 20% increase, potentially reaching the $0.00019 level in the coming days.

Adding to the positive outlook, FLOKI is trading above the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily chart, indicating that the coin is in a confirmed uptrend. The successful breakout has piqued the interest of investors and traders alike.

According to Coinglass, an on-chain analytics firm, FLOKI's Open Interest has risen by 8% in the last four hours and by 18% in the past 24 hours. Over the past week, bullish positions have steadily increased, placing nearly $1.08 million in short positions at risk of liquidation following the recent price surge.
