Andrew Kang, founder and CEO of Mechanism Capital, has shifted his bullish outlook from Dogecoin (DOGE) to First Neiro On Ethereum (NEIRO) following Donald Trump’s landslide victory in the US presidential election. In a series of posts on X on Wednesday, November 6, Kang asserted that NEIRO is poised for exponential growth in the coming months. Better Than Dogecoin? “With a Trump win, NEIRO as the natural successor to Doge is on a path to billions over the next few months,” Kang wrote. He further elaborated, “Hard to think of better coins to hold post a Trump/Elon win than NEIRO. As the natural successor to Doge, its path to a Doge/Shib like run and eventual flippening debates are pre-ordained. Doge is great, but new dogs are even better.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Record Largest Accumulation Week Since January With 2.10 Billion Tokens Bought Kang was among the first industry experts to designate Dogecoin as the premier “Trump trade” in the crypto market—a strategy for investors betting on a Trump victory. On October 15, he noted: “One of the most interesting ways to express a ‘Trump Victory’ trade would probably be owning DOGE (and other memes). Not only do you have high odds of a Doge ETF but the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would be making headlines every week and be pushed forward by Trump.” This perspective gained traction among several crypto analysts who identified Dogecoin as the leading proxy for anticipating a Trump win. The association stems from Elon Musk’s proposal to lead a “Department of Government Efficiency” (D.O.G.E.) under a Trump administration to reduce the bloated US government spending. Since Kang’s initial post on October 15, the Dogecoin price has surged by over 70%, climbing from $0.1158 to above $0.20 at press time. In contrast, NEIRO experienced a significant downturn of approximately 22% during the same period. After reaching its all-time high of $0.002333 on October 15, NEIRO dipped but has recently shown signs of recovery, rising 42% in the last 48 hours to trade at $0.001786.

Crypto analyst Crypto Stream (@CryptoStreamHub) questioned the trend of industry leaders promoting meme coins, commenting under Kang’s post: “When did it become normalized for the industry leaders to shill Memecoins, honest question? Raoul Pal started, yesterday I heard Arthur Hayes shill GOAT and now Kang is shilling NEIRO. Not wanna criticize that, I genuinely wonder when we made the pivot.” Another analyst, CryptoGugu (@Silivabrota), expressed skepticism about NEIRO’s potential and warned of an underlying market manipulation: “Guys please stop comparing NEIRO with DOGE. DOGE is the real deal NEIRO looking more like a liquidity grab scheme right now. Since the mm has been replaced chart looking awful. Mm only going up and down chasing liquidity, whales only dumping. Something needs to change asap or NEIRO will continue bleeding.” At press time, NEIRO traded at $0.001786. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
Despite Neiro (NEIRO)’s recent price drop, analysts and investors seem bullish on the memecoin. Some market watchers noted the cryptocurrency’s potential, suggesting the levels to watch ahead of the next bullish rally.

The memecoin was inspired by the newly adopted sister of Dogecoin’s inspiration, Kabosu. The cryptocurrency has registered a remarkable performance during October, jumping 30% month-to-date (MTD). Moreover, the token saw an impressive rally towards its all-time high (ATH) price of $0.0022 two weeks ago, surging 4,600% in 30 days. The memecoin’s bullish momentum also propelled its market capitalization (MC) near the $1 billion mark, reaching a $935 million MC on October 15, which fueled a bullish sentiment among market watchers. However, Neiro’s price has declined since its most recent rally, trading 31.5% below its ATH. The Shiba Inu-themed memecoin registers a 10.3% drop in the past week, hovering between the $0.00132-$0.00170 price range. Despite the price drop, analysts and investors remain positive above the cryptocurrency. Crypto Tony noted that the memecoin is another token that looks “really good” since the beginning of its bullish momentum in mid-September. The analyst pointed out Neiro’s potential, suggesting that a small pullback from its recent levels could be a good entry point for investors ahead of an upcoming rally. Is $0.0020 Or $0.0010 Next? Since its all-time high, the cryptocurrency’s chart has displayed a downtrend, forming a broadening wedge pattern in the lower time frame, according to trader CryptoBull360. The market watcher noted that a successful breakout above the upper trendline could trigger a 25%-30% bullish rally for the token. Another trader suggested Neiro’s “situation on the chart is messy.” The trader stated that the token needed to break above the $0.00165 mark to continue its bullish trajectory and recover its ATH levels. However, if Neiro is rejected instead, the token could see a 30% correction toward the $0.0010 support zone. The $0.00165-$0.00170 price range represented an important consolidation zone ahead of the token’s surge toward its ATH. On Monday morning, Neiro’s price jumped 13.3% toward the $0.00170 resistance level. The token moved above the pattern’s upper trendline, signaling a breakout from its biweekly downtrend.

Crypto analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that the memecoin’s recent performance has been better than expected. After “a longer manipulation” and reclaiming the $0.00150 level over the weekend, the analyst believes Neiro is ready to move toward higher resistance levels, potentially targeting the crucial $0.0020 mark again. As of this writing, Neiro is trading at $0.00151, a 4% drop in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
