TOSHI, the Base blockchain memecoin, has staged an explosive rally in recent days, lifting its market profile and drawing fresh speculation about its future trajectory.
The token has surged more than 64% in a single day, fueled by major exchange listings and technical breakout signals, placing it firmly in the spotlight of retail and institutional traders alike.
The price spike came after months of consolidation and capped a week of strong upward movement that carried the token to an eight-month high.
With trading volumes soaring and market capitalisation briefly pushing beyond $425 million, the question is whether TOSHI can sustain this momentum or if the surge marks the peak of a short-lived speculative wave.
Upbit listing
The clearest catalyst behind TOSHI’s breakout was its listing on South Korea’s largest exchange, Upbit, on September 17.
The listing triggered a flood of retail activity, with trading volume spiking over 3,400% in just 24 hours.
At its peak, Upbit accounted for nearly 40% of global TOSHI transactions, highlighting the heavy role of Korean traders in the surge.
Upbit’s influence often carries what analysts call the “Kimchi premium,” a phenomenon where newly listed assets experience outsized price jumps on Korean exchanges.
In TOSHI’s case, the effect was amplified by earlier listings on Binance Futures and Binance US, which added credibility and liquidity to the token.
The Binance Futures listing also opened up 75x leverage, creating fertile ground for speculative bets that magnified the price action.
Memecoins outperform as altcoin season index rises
TOSHI’s rally has not occurred in isolation.
The broader crypto market has been leaning toward altcoins, with the Altcoin Season Index climbing to 69, its highest level in months.
Bitcoin dominance has slipped below 58%, giving smaller-cap assets room to attract speculative flows.
Within this environment, memecoins have outperformed, drawing retail enthusiasm and opportunistic capital.
On-chain data adds another bullish dimension, with exchange balances for TOSHI dropping by around 8% following the listings, reducing the immediate supply available for trading.
Such outflows often limit selling pressure and can stabilise prices in the short term.
However, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator shows a negative reading, hinting that capital may be gradually leaving the market even as speculative interest grows.
Technical breakout from a 9-month symmetrical triangle
The rally coincided with a technical breakout from a nine-month symmetrical triangle, with TOSHI clearing the $0.00071 resistance level.
The move flipped the MACD histogram into positive territory, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains at a moderate 47, suggesting room for further upside without entering overbought territory.
There was also the breakout from a cup-and-handle pattern earlier in September, with a neckline at $0.00068 and a base near $0.00053.
The breakout from the cup-and-handle pattern on the 4-hour chart pushed the token’s price to an intraday high of $0.0011, where sellers eventually emerged.

Market analysis now points to $0.00083 as an important support zone, as it aligns with the measured target from the breakout.
Short-term analysis reveals a descending triangle pattern that could bring volatility around the $0.0006–$0.00062 zone.
This area also overlaps with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, a key marker that many traders will watch closely in the coming days.
A decisive hold above this level could reinforce bullish sentiment, while a breakdown may invite a retest of deeper support near $0.00053.
