Magic Eden price soared more than 35% amid a breakout above the key resistance of $0.50.
Trading volume jumped 1,280% to over $129 million to signal buying pressure.
“A big week” ahead and other potential catalysts could boost ME bulls.
Magic Eden’s native token, ME, has experienced a significant price surge in the past 24 hours.
Prices rose to intraday highs above $0.60 for the first time since the October 11 crash, with bulls’ gains coming amid a retest of a key technical barrier.
As the altcoins rank among the top gainers in the 500 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, buyers are likely to hold the crucial level and target a new leg up.
But what could help ME price in the short term?
Magic Eden among top gainers as price pumps 35%
Per CoinMarketCap data, Magic Eden’s ME token is one of the standout performers in the cryptocurrency arena today.
The token’s 35% uptick in the past 24 hours has come amid a robust trading volume of $129 million – the metric is up 1,280% in the past 24 hours.
This performance has not only outpaced the broader market but also dwarfed top performers such as Pi Network, Virtuals Protocol and Zcash.
ZEC hovered around $270 on October 24, but was near $350 at the time of writing.
On the technical front, ME broke above the critical hurdle at $0.50, reaching intraday highs of $0.60.
While the altcoin is well off its all-time peak above $13.24, bulls have bounced off the all-time low of $0.23.
ME could retest $0.55 or $0.50 before seizing on an uptick across the market to target the psychological $1 mark.
RSI at 60 suggests bulls have more room to aim for gains.
What could help Magic Eden price higher?
Several factors appear to have converged to ignite this pump.
Notably, the official Magic Eden X account issued a cryptic yet bullish proclamation early this morning: “Big week ahead.”
This post, which garnered over 300 likes and widespread speculation within the community, hinted at impending announcements or developments that could further bolster the platform’s growth.
Such communications from project leads often serve as potent catalysts, drawing in retail traders and amplifying social sentiment.
ME gains also follow the community cheering of the recent acquisition of Dynamic by Fireblocks, which the platforms announced on October 23.
As a key user of Dynamic’s developer platform, Magic Eden could benefit significantly from this integration.
Dynamic powers over 50 million on-chain accounts for industry leaders, including Kraken, Ondo Finance, Magic Eden and zerohash.
Magic Eden’s seamless user onboarding and embedded wallet functionalities for NFT trading across chains.
The deal merges Fireblocks’ institutional-grade custody with Dynamic’s agile tools, creating what executives describe as the “first complete custody-to-consumer stack” for on-chain finance.
Overlaying these platform-specific tailwinds is a broader crypto market rebound.
While gains in October 2025 remain muted as the macroeconomic environment hit risk-on sentiment, Bitcoin’s climb to $116,000 and Ethereum’s break to $4,200 has bulls excited.
The big week for crypto includes a potential rally ahead of a Federal Reserve rate cut, the impact of the US-China trade deal and SEC approval for exchange-traded funds.
The macroeconomic lift could spill over to altcoins like Magic Eden.
