<p>Cryptocurrencies often jump after being listed by tier-1 exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, Bybit, and OKX. This rally happens due to the general hype among traders and rising expectations that the token will become accessible to more investors.</p> 
<p>However, these exchange listing pumps tend to be short-lived, especially when market sentiment is not favorable.</p>

<p>Degen also jumped as the number of smart money holders increased and as volume in centralized exchanges fell. Data from <a href="https://app.nansen.ai/token-god-mode?tokenAddress=0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed&amp;chain=base&amp;tab=exchanges" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nansen</a> shows that the volume in exchanges fell by 9% to 3.65 billion, while smart money holders rose to 80, the highest level since July 21.</p>

<p>Degen has grown to become a major player in the <a href="https://crypto.news/what-are-meme-coins/" target="_blank">meme coin</a> industry, with its market cap reaching $175 million. It is the second-biggest token in the Base network after Brett (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/brett/" target="_blank">BRETT</a>), which has a market cap of over $843 million.</p> 
<p>Most of these Base meme coins have performed well in the past few weeks. Mister Miggles has risen by 17% in the last seven days, while mfercoin, Basenji, and Keyboard Cat have jumped by over 10% in the same period. All meme coins in the ecosystem have a market cap of over $1.3 billion.</p> 
<p>Their strong performance has helped propel Base into one of the largest <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/layer-2/" target="_blank">layer-2</a> networks in the industry. Data by <a href="https://defillama.com/dexs/chains" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">DeFi Llama</a><strong> </strong>shows that the volume in its DEX networks has risen by 16% in the past seven days to over $4.2 billion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Degen token popped after forming a double-bottom pattern at $0.0028. It rose above the pattern’s neckline at $0.005570, its highest point in September and August.</p> 
<p>Degen also jumped above the 50-day moving average, while oscillators have pointed upwards. Therefore, the price will likely erase some of these gains as the post-listing momentum fades. If this happens, the next level to watch will be $0.0055.</p>
