LINEA Surges 35% After Social Engagement Dominance Shifts Sentiment

• Linea leads Layer-2 social engagement with 3,100 engaged posts and over 3.5M total interactions in 24 hours.
• Price surges 35% from recent lows, breaking above $0.00370 resistance zone and reclaiming the 20-day EMA.
• RSI reaches 68.50 on 30-minute chart, signaling strong momentum but approaching overbought conditions.

Linea price today trades near $0.00412, down slightly in the past few hours after a sharp 35% rally from the February lows. The move comes as Phoenix Group data shows Linea now leads all Layer-2 projects in community engagement, signaling a shift in momentum as social activity becomes a critical metric for network growth.

Linea Dominates Layer-2 Social Engagement

According to February 9 data from Phoenix Group, Linea recorded 3,100 engaged posts and over 3.5 million total user interactions in a 24-hour period, placing it ahead of Starknet, Celo, and other scaling solutions. The surge in activity stems from Linea’s incentive programs and the growing presence of high-performance dApps within its ecosystem.

Starknet ranked second with 2,600 engaged posts and 328,100 interactions, showing a decentralized contributor base but lower overall reach. Celo, which recently shifted to Ethereum Layer-2, posted 2.6 million interactions, proving that mobile-first models and real-world use cases can drive user adoption.

The data confirms a broader trend where social engagement now serves as an early indicator of network health and expansion potential. Projects with strong community signals are gaining traction faster than those focused purely on technical benchmarks. Linea’s dominance in this metric appears to have translated directly into price action.

Price Breaks Above Multi-Week Resistance

On the 4-hour chart, Linea has reclaimed the 20-day EMA at $0.00341 and broken above the $0.00370 resistance zone that capped rallies through late January and early February. The move represents a structural shift after weeks of consolidation below all major moving averages.

The chart shows:

• 20-day EMA at $0.00341 reclaimed, signaling short-term trend reversal
• Bollinger Bands expanding as volatility increases
• Price testing the 50-day EMA at $0.00358 as immediate support
• 100-day EMA at $0.00413 acting as current resistance

Linea spent most of February trading below the 20-day EMA, with sellers defending every attempt to break higher. The rally cleared that resistance decisively, pulling the token out of the $0.00300 to $0.00370 range that defined price action since the start of the month.

The 100-day EMA near $0.00413 now acts as the next major test. A close above this level would place the 200-day EMA at $0.00498 back in range and confirm that the rally is more than a temporary spike. Until that happens, the move remains reactive rather than trend-forming.

Momentum Indicators Show Strong Bullish Pressure

The 30-minute chart reveals the strength of the recent rally. RSI sits at 68.50, elevated but not yet in overbought territory. MACD remains positive with the histogram printing green bars and both lines trending sharply upward at 0.00022.

The structure shows:

• Price breaking above the $0.00300 to $0.00370 consolidation range
• Higher highs and higher lows forming since February 11
• Volume increasing alongside price, confirming participation

Linea rallied from a low near $0.00260 to a high near $0.00445 in a matter of days, a 70% move from bottom to top. The current pullback to $0.00411 appears corrective rather than a reversal. Buyers are attempting to hold the $0.00370 zone as new support after flipping it from resistance.

A sustained move above $0.00413 with volume would confirm continuation toward $0.00450 and eventually the 200-day EMA. A breakdown below $0.00370 would signal that the rally was purely news-driven and unsustainable.

Outlook: Will Linea Go Up?

The next move depends on whether LINEA can hold above $0.00370 and break the 100-day EMA at $0.00413.

• Bullish case: A close above $0.00413 with strong volume confirms the rally and opens the path toward $0.00498. That would flip the 100-day EMA and place the 200-day EMA within reach, signaling full trend reversal.
• Bearish case: Rejection at $0.00413 and a breakdown below $0.00370 sends price back to the $0.00340 support zone. Losing $0.00340 would invalidate the breakout and retest the $0.00300 lows.

If Linea closes above $0.00413 and holds, the trend shifts. Losing $0.00370 turns the move into a failed breakout.
