The cryptocurrency market displayed low volatility on Friday, March 21, as evidenced by the neutral candle formation in Bitcoin. Overhead selling pressure in these top assets continues to prolong the correction trend in the altcoin market.

However, the PancakeSwap token price records a sudden 17% surge

Key Highlights:

PancakeSwap Tops DEX Rankings with Nearly $2B Trading Volume

PancakeSwap has emerged as the top-performing decentralized exchange (DEX), recording a staggering $1.99 billion in 24-hour trading volume. This places it at the helm of the DEX ecosystem, showcasing its dominance as it leads the market during a period of volatility.

Earlier this week, NameCoinNews also highlighted PancakeSwap’s dominance in DEX Revenue as it reported a 24-hour fee of $5.49 million, significantly outperforming its close competitors like Uniswap, Raydium, Meteora, Orca, etc.PancakeSwap’s stellar performance has doubled the value of its native CAKE token, which has surged from $1.37 to $2.75 in the past two weeks. Consequently, the asset market cap surged to $809.2 Million.

Double-Bottom Formation Signals Rally to $5

In the daily time frame chart, the Pancakeswap coin shows the formation of a double bottom pattern at the base support of $1.4. Generally, the chart setup shows two price reversals in a ‘W’ shape, indicating a high demand pressure from the bottom.

Currently trading at $2.67, the CAKE price is 10% short from an upside breakout of $3-$2.95 neckline resistance. A potential bullish crossover between the fast-moving EMAs (20, 50, 100, and 200) should bolster the aforementioned breakout, and pave the way for higher recovery.

Theoretically, the post-breakout rally covers a distance equal to the spread between the bottom support to the neckline. If the pattern holds, this altcoin could rally 62% and challenge major resistance at the $4.8-$5 region.

Conversely, if the sellers continue to defend $3 psychologically, the PancakeSwap price could prolong the current consolidation till March end.
