ASTEROID had a historic rally in mid-April, recording a gain of over 68,000% in a single week. Apart from ASTEROID, two memecoins have gained traction and are expected to follow a similar trend. This article explores the top two memecoins, Amaterasu Omikami (OMIKAMI) and RyuJin (RYU), worth watching following ASTEROID’s record-breaking surge. 

The Musk Effect on Asteroid 

Asteroid Shiba’s ASTEROID cryptocurrency token experienced a historical rally, recording a 68,000% surge in a week. The rally was triggered after the story of Liv Perrotto, a 15-year-old girl who passed away from cancer, resurfaced online. Her final wish for her plush toy, Asteroid, was to become the official mascot of SpaceX. The video caught Elon Musk’s attention, and he responded. Following the reply, ASTEROID’s market capitalization peaked from $50,000 to over $100 million. 

Attention Towards OMIKAMI and RyuJin 

According to an expert who covered OMIKAMI for three years and analyzed ASTEROID’s sudden surge, the current period of massive, widespread price growth for meme-based cryptocurrencies is expected to continue. His take is based on the longevity of both projects rather than short-term momentum. 

Both OMIKAMI and RyuJin have been active for nearly two years, driven by organic community growth rather than artificial hype. There are claims that the project was created by the same person who started Shiba Inu (Ryoshi). However, there is no hard proof. 

OMIKAMI is currently trading around $0.00710996, with a market cap of around 7.11 million. On the other hand, RyuJin trades at $0.00000000269 with a market cap of approximately $2.76 million. Both token prices recorded a surge of 13%. 

A Parallel Created To ASTEROID 

The analyst drew a comparison between OMIKAMI’s current position and where ASTEROID sat before the vital moment. Both the tokens have a story and a community to back them. However, ASTEROID had a single external catalyst that triggered its surge. 

The structural difference that triggered the drive is different. ASTEROID surged because of Elon Musk, the world’s most followed public figure, who replied to Liv Perrotto’s video. However, OMIKAMI’s catalyst is expected to emerge from its ecosystem. A new Ryoshi communication or product announcement related to a planned blockchain and debit card infrastructure would influence the drive.

Influence of Broader Macro Setup 

The analysts also stated that broader market conditions would also influence memecoin activity. Bitcoin rebounded to the $75,000-$76,000 range, increasing by roughly 1.55% in 24 hours. The four-hour chart shows BTC holding above its 100 SMA and 200 SMA, indicating a broader structural uptrend. 

Ethereum is testing a multi-layered resistance cluster near $2,310-$2,350. The support zone lies at $2,211, reinforced by the 20-day and 50-day EMAs. 

Moreover, the CLARITY Act, a market structure bill that defines digital commodities and securities, could reduce barriers for newcomers. Moreover, the new Fed Chair and the GENIUS Act – the stablecoin yield legislation would be considered as macro catalysts that could open a significant fresh liquidity into crypto broadly.
