BRET, the Biggest Meme Coin on the Base Blockchain, Rises for Two Straight Days as Whale Purchase Fuels Bullish Sentiment

Brett (BRETT) surged to $0.1350, marking a 25% increase from its December lows when most meme coins faced declines.

The price of Brett (BRETT), the largest meme coin on the Base Blockchain, has seen a surge of 25% over two days, rising to $0.1350. This marks a significant recovery for the meme coin, which had faced declines along with the rest of the crypto market.

However, the crypto market has shown signs of recovery following the Christmas holiday season, with investors optimistic about several potential catalysts. These include the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump, anticipated changes at the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the distribution of funds from the FTX estate.

This recovery is also evident in the performance of meme coins, with the total market cap of the sector pushing past $117 billion. Some of the top performers include Bonk, Dogwifhat, Fartcoin, and Popcat.

On-chain data reveals a large purchase by a whale investor, contributing to Brett's surge. According to Nansen, the whale purchased $1.7 million in Brett tokens, bringing their total holdings to $2.1 million in the cryptocurrency. On-chain activity shows significant purchases of BRETT over the past 24 hours.

Brett's performance is closely tied to Base, the layer-2 network launched by Coinbase in 2023. Base has become the largest L2 network in terms of DeFi total value locked and DEX transaction volume. DEX protocols on Base have handled over $181 billion in volume since its launch, with $10 billion in the last 7 days.

Examining Brett's price chart on the daily timeframe reveals a technical setup that could propel the meme coin further.

Brett's recent price action can be attributed to a falling wedge chart pattern. This pattern is formed by connecting two converging trendlines, typically indicating an impending trend reversal. A rebound usually occurs when the two lines are nearing their confluence, which happened recently with Brett's price action.

This setup is also part of the handle section of a cup and handle pattern. The cup formed between June and September last year, with a depth of approximately 70%.

By projecting this depth from the upper edge of the cup, we can estimate a potential price target of $0.3335 for Brett, indicating a possible 141% gain from current levels. A sustained move above $0.20—the upper boundary of the cup—would confirm this bullish outlook.

Conversely, a drop below the lower edge of the wedge at $0.10 would invalidate the positive outlook for Brett.
