SEI has recently attracted considerable attention after some impressive price movements. Currently ranked #45 by market cap on CoinMarketCap, SEI’s price has shown a 122.12% increase in the last 30 days.
Over the last three months, SEI has escalated from an all-time low of $0.095 to a current price of $0.7683, equating to a 669.45% rise in just 90 days.
Despite its meteoric rise, SEI has experienced a setback recently. On Wednesday, it retested its January 3 all-time high of $0.87 but failed to break through, leading to a decline to its current price of $0.7683, marking a 4% decrease at the time of writing. This price fluctuation has raised questions about the sustainability of SEI’s growth and the potential for future corrections.
SEI Price Technical Analysis: Moving Averages, MACD, and RSI

The 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for SEI stands at $0.6876, indicating a bullish trend as it is well above the 50-day EMA at $0.5258 and the 100-day EMA at $0.3874. Traditionally, this alignment in moving averages is seen as a positive sign for continued upward momentum.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) presents a nuanced picture, however. Currently, the MACD is at 0.0900, slightly down from yesterday’s 0.0909. This slight decrease might suggest a weakening in the bullish momentum, although it’s not strong enough to signal a clear trend reversal.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) presents a more complex situation. Today’s RSI is 71.93, down from 74.17 yesterday. This high RSI, hovering above the overbought threshold of 70, suggests that SEI may have recently reached a temporary peak, with potential for a retracement as some investors might consider taking profits.
Chart Patterns and Price Predictions
The SEI price recently attempted to breach its all-time high at $0.8779 but failed, leading to its current value of $0.76.
The double-top formation emerging on SEI’s daily chart is a critical pattern to watch. This formation, if confirmed, could signal a bearish reversal, particularly if the price falls below key support levels at the golden Fibonacci (FIB) levels of $0.6513 and $0.6301. Breaking below these levels could accelerate selling pressure, leading to further declines.
On the flip side, if SEI breaks above its all-time high resistance at $0.8779, this would invalidate the double-top pattern and could clear the way for bullish momentum. In this scenario, the next FIB targets to watch would be $1.29 and $1.95.
Support levels are currently identified at $0.74 and $0.68, with the golden FIB levels providing additional safety nets. However, a correction down to $0.552, or even lower levels like $0.4740 or $0.3774, is not off the table, given the recent volatility.
The SEI price, though down 4% at the moment, is still up greatly over the past 90 days. The technical analysis reveals a complex picture. While MACD and RSI indicators suggest a bullish trend with caution due to the near-overbought conditions, the chart patterns highlight a potential for both upward and downward movements. Investors and traders should watch the potential double top formation, key FIB levels, and resistance points to gauge SEI’s next moves.
While SEI’s concerning double top pattern signals potential danger ahead, investors seem to already be shifting focus to the next big thing in the meme coin space—Meme Kombat (MK).
Meme Coin Mania in the Virtual Arena
MK brings a unique twist to the meme coin arena with its virtual battle platform. The native MK token will allow users to wager on fight outcomes between meme coin mascots. Victorious players can win prizes in MK tokens, which will also provide staking rewards of up to 155% annually according to the whitepaper.

The fusion of memes and crypto has fueled major hype during MK’s ongoing presale event. The crypto presale has already raised over $7 million, selling 50% of the total MK supply to eager investors. Purchase options include ETH, USDT, and BNB—catering to users across Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.
With the presale in its final stage, the window is closing for investors to get involved before MK’s planned listing on Uniswap. Early participants were able to secure tokens for $0.183 at the start of the crypto presale, with tokens now selling for $0.279 each, equating to unrealized gains of 52%.
The upcoming Uniswap listing will improve accessibility and liquidity, per the developers. Historical trends show new listings often experience high volatility as price discovery runs its course. MK presale investors likely hope to capitalize on any potential price spikes upon the DEX launch.
The Next 100x Gaming Meme Crypto?
Looking ahead, some speculate MK could reach the upper levels occupied by heavyweights like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. Though overtaking these established giants seems unlikely in the immediate future, the meme coin market has bred several surprise success stories recently.
Both Pepe (PEPE) and Bonk (BONK) erupted from obscurity in 2023 thanks to the online hype, each reaching billion-dollar market caps at their peaks. MK has already raised millions ahead of launch, leading influencers like ClayBro to question if it could be the next 100x gaming meme crypto this year.
MK’s novel approach to memes and crypto has undoubtedly captured investor attention during the presale. As the long-running bull market for meme coins continues into 2024, projects like MK seem primed to capitalize on the frenzied appetite for speculative investments in this niche.
