Moonbird (BIRB) surged over 72% in a single day, showing the strongest upward trend in the cryptocurrency market. Even amidst a moderate rebound across the broader market, speculative funds poured into the Solana (SOL)-based memecoin, leading to returns significantly outperforming major coins.

According to CoinMarketCap, a cryptocurrency market aggregation site, on July 3 (local time), Moonbird traded at $0.0946, a 72.71% surge over 24 hours. While the overall cryptocurrency market gained only 1.8% during the same period, Moonbird significantly outpaced this growth, attracting significant market attention.

The media attributed the primary reason for this surge to the rotation of funds into memecoins within the Solana ecosystem. Analysts suggest that Moonbird emerged as a key beneficiary as investors aggressively bought highly volatile, small-cap memecoins. Notably, Moonbird ranked among the top daily gainers in both the NFT and memecoin sectors, with its trading volume exceeding $130 million, a surge of approximately 2,200% in a single day. The high trading turnover ratio (4.84) indicates strong buying pressure while also signaling high volatility risk, the media explained.

The macroeconomic environment also played a favorable role in the market. Former U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Kevin Warsh's remarks on the potential easing of inflation raised expectations for monetary policy relaxation, improving overall investor sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. However, the media analyzed that Moonbird's 72% surge was significantly larger than Bitcoin's approximately 1.75% gain during the same period, suggesting that independent capital inflows into the Solana memecoin sector, rather than macroeconomic factors, primarily drove the increase.

In the short term, the sustainability of trading volume was identified as a key variable. The media projected that if trading volume remains above $100 million, the upward momentum could continue, but if it rapidly decreases, profit-taking could lead to a sharp price correction. Technically, maintaining the $0.075 level could allow a retest of $0.11, but a breach of this support level carries the risk of a decline to $0.055.

The future market is expected to reach a turning point with the U.S. non-farm payroll data to be released on July 3. The media analyzed that if the employment figures are stronger than market expectations, hopes for interest rate cuts could weaken, putting pressure on risk assets across the board. Ultimately, Moonbird's upward trend is expected to be sustained depending on how long speculative demand and trading volume for Solana memecoins are maintained.
