Previously, U.Today reported that background market and on-chain data for Floki remain neutral with no big transactions happening and the number of whales that hold the Elon Musk-inspired coin decreasing drastically.

Though the initial pump could have started due to the big announcement, the token grabbed a few more percent after a few hours, which indicates that the current price spike is also followed by increased speculation interest.

Floki Inu price action

At press time, Floki is consolidating at the closest resistance of $0.00021, with its trading volume also spiking by 76%, according to CoinMarketCap. The token's volume, unfortunately, cannot be properly tracked since the token is being mostly traded via swap contracts.

Floki is trading with 35% of daily growth, which has neglected the last three negative days in a row. Currently, Floki is trading at end-of-October levels, after which it pumped by another 100% to reach its current ATH.
