WLFI hit the 6 cent resistance again, let's see. I posted about grabbing half a million at 5 cents. Got 400k locked from presale too. Probably close to 100k in Metamask too, so total I'm holding 1 million $WLFI, waiting to see. They also got bank charter approval from the OCC.

A Binance trading chart for the WLFI/USDT pair shows the price at $0.0606 (+1.85%), having just tested the 0.06 cent resistance level with a recent high of 0.0633, while displaying 24h volume of 103.32M WLFI and 6.22M USDT. The chart visually confirms the post's commentary about WLFI hitting the 6 cent resistance, with the candlestick pattern showing a pullback after testing that key level.
