Our beloved meme coin has been chilling in a downward slumber inside this super dramatic descending channel. It’s been smushing lower like a pancake at Denny’s. But wait-hold onto your hats because an analyst, Jonathan Carter (who sounds like he should be a superhero but is just a crypto nerd), says the coin might actually be gearing up for a breakout.

The Nigerian government, ever the vigilant guardian of fiscal order, has begun its grand quest to track crypto earnings under the Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA) 2025. The new law, a labyrinth of red tape, allows the government to track citizens’ earnings using their Tax Identification Number (TIN) and National Identification Number (NIN). 🧩
