On-chain investigator ZachXBT calls out Kraken for listing $M (Memecore) on July 3, 2025, amid allegations of insider manipulation driving the token to a $6B market cap and $18B fully diluted valuation. Suspicious $7.9M withdrawals hit 18 fresh addresses holding 11.7M $M now worth $39.8M, with a suspected team wallet dumping 5.3M $M into Kraken deposits. The project's touted wins? Just $66M launchpad volume and incentivized 'InfoFi' campaigns drawing thousands of users, while Kraken remains a rare spot trading venue for $M. This scandal echoes recent crypto market crash vibes, potentially impacting M price prediction as insiders exploit listings amid hype around tokens like Bitcoin (BTC) and emerging plays like TAO.

Zooming into the 4h chart, $M trades at $3.52 in a bullish structure backed by the EMA200 at $2.61 as firm long-term support, but the death cross on MACD at 0.02 signals building bearish pressure that could cap upside. With RSI neutral at 50.4, price hugs the middle of Bollinger Bands, testing exhaustion toward the upper resistance at $4.47—institutional flows might defend the EMA50 at $3.34 as confluence support, setting up a quick dip before resuming the trend if volatility spikes don't breach the lower band at $2.94.
