According to the announcement, RAY trading officially opens at 12:00 PM KST with KRW and USDT pairs.

Raydium, an automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity protocol, saw a rapid price increase of over 25% to $2.62 after the listing news broke. However, the price has since corrected to around $2.28 at the time of writing.

RAY has also seen a sharp rise in market capitalization, gaining nearly $60 million in just 24 hours. The surge pushed the Solana-based token into the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap, currently ranking 99th with a cap of $607 million.

Whale Activity Hints at Profit-Taking

Notably, the listing announcement drove a 500% spike in RAY’s 24-hour trading volume to reach $371 million, according to CoinMarketCap. The volume attracted traders looking to capitalize on short-term gains.

One whale deposited 906,788 RAY, worth around $2.26 million, into Binance following the price pump. Lookonchain noted the transaction, suggesting a profit-taking move.

Bollinger Bands show a sharp breakout above the lower band and toward the middle band (20-day SMA) at $2.24. The current price action suggests indecision, with the upper band at $2.56 acting as dynamic resistance. A break above this level could confirm bullish continuation.

The RSI has climbed TO 45, indicating recovery from the recent low of $1.94. The upward gradient suggests bullish momentum and more upside room, but with caution.

Failure to hold $2.24 may send RAY back toward the key support at $1.93. Popular crypto analyst Leandrocrypto recently stated that this level would act as a strong buying zone.

The analyst explained that a bullish scenario with strong volume could send the cryptocurrency to test $3.42 resistance, setting a price target of $7.27 in the long term.
