- Whale wallets added 310,000 WLD, boosting bullish momentum.
- Worldcoin adoption surged with 456,000 new World App users in a week.
- Key resistance at $1.40 could clear the path toward $1.50–$2.00.
Worldcoin (WLD) surged 22% in the past 24 hours, pushing the token above $1.20 and prompting traders to prepare for further upside.
The price jump represents one of the steepest rallies since April and renewed speculation over whether WLD can finally break critical resistance levels.
Trading volumes also climbed above $1 billion—more than three times the level seen at the start of the week—signaling revived interest from both speculative traders and long-term holders.
Whales step back in
Large investors appear to be leading the charge.
Data from Santiment shows whale wallets added roughly 310,000 WLD in the last 24 hours, increasing large-holder balances by about 4.5%.
This kind of accumulation often drives follow-on retail demand and creates momentum that can sustain a rally beyond a short-term spike.
Notably, the renewed whale interest arrived just days after Worldcoin introduced its Anonymized Multi-Party Computation initiative intended to strengthen biometric verification with improved privacy and quantum resistance.
The announcement was widely viewed as a move to address the project’s most contentious issues and could attract significant capital back into the token.
Adoption metrics look promising
The Worldcoin rally is not only about whales. Adoption metrics show steady growth, bolstering the bullish case.
Over the past week, more than 238,000 new people verified their identity on the network, while the World App added 456,000 users, bringing total World App users close to 34 million.
On-chain activity remains robust as well. The project processed 15.7 million transactions in just seven days, averaging around 2 million transactions per day.

This kind of real usage helps counter the argument that token movements are purely speculative.
Recent partnerships with companies such as Razer and Match Group have also raised visibility, though regulators continue to scrutinize the project.
WLD price outlook
WLD recently broke out of a falling wedge on the daily chart and has been forming a larger cup-and-handle structure since May.
These formations are typically interpreted as bullish continuation patterns.
The token has already surpassed the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $1.106; a daily close above this level could push the next target toward $1.21.
That zone aligns with the 50% retracement and could act as a springboard for a more significant test of the $1.40–$1.50 range.
Momentum indicators support the move. The MACD shows a fresh bullish crossover, and the RSI has climbed to 57—indicating strong buying without yet reaching overbought territory.
A decisive break above $1.40 could open the door to gains toward $2.04 in the coming weeks.
Risks remain
While technicals suggest room for further gains, several risks persist.
Circulating supply has risen nearly 20% since May, increasing persistent selling pressure that could cap upside.
Spot trading volumes have been volatile and fell sharply over the past month, even as interest in derivatives rose—a mix that can amplify abrupt reversals.
Regulatory scrutiny also looms. Chinese authorities issued warnings over biometric data concerns in August, and European regulators continue probing privacy risks.
Fresh regulatory pressure could dampen adoption and weigh on investor sentiment, even if charts remain constructive.
