Following the news of the zoo intrusion, the token spiked a local high of $0.0582.<\/p>\n<p>That level is not random. It represents a critical line in the sand where sellers have stepped in twice this month to push the price back down. The immediate retracement back to the $0.057 range suggests that the dip was bought up by whales faster than the news could spread.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bulls are not out of the woods. The token is now trapped below a \u201cboss fight\u201d resistance level at $0.0585. This price point has repeatedly rejected advances, acting as a ceiling for the recovery.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">i dont wanna be that guy but you know what looks good?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24MOODENG&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">$MOODENG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m9KhJiwPYy\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/m9KhJiwPYy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 eon (@vivideonic) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vivideonic\/status\/2033696212394631650?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">March 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For a bullish reversal to be confirmed, we need to see a daily candle close above $0.058 with strong volume.
