With the prices of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu crashing down, the rest of the meme coin market has followed, and coins in this category have suffered greatly for it. However, there continues to be hope of a renewed meme coin season where these cryptocurrencies will surge again. A number of meme coins continue to show promise, but three coins are looking prepped for when the bulls reclaim control. USELESS Coin Still A Good Meme Coin Buy? USELESS is one of the coins that dominated 2025, with an impressive rally that saw it reach over $400 million market cap at its peak. Since then, though, the meme coin has retraced, falling by more than 90% from its all-time high. While this crash has created dissent among its investors, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa has suggested that this might be a good time to buy. Related Reading: XRP Ledger Transactions Triple In One Year – What’s Going On? In the post, the crypto analyst points out that while most meme coins will not see their all-time high values again, there might still be some upside potential for them. For USELESS Coin, in particular, Altcoin Sherpa says it has always performed well in risk conditions. Thus, the crypto analyst suggests that for those who do not mind being underwater on their holdings for a bit, it could be a good time to enter. In the end, the analyst says the coin could end up doing a 2-4x rally, which would be a reasonable return. BONK Still One Of The Meme Coin Leaders Another meme coin that seems to be catching the attention of analysts is BONK, one of the leading Solana meme coins. Like its counterparts, the BONK price is down around 90% from its all-time high, but continues to see community support. Crypto analyst Celal Kucuker outlines that the BONK price could still rally 1,100% from here. This would put it on the path toward its all-time high levels. The analyst even shares a timeframe, putting it sometime around 2027. In terms of daily performance, though, BONK has struggled to keep up. Whereas counterparts such as Dogecoin and PEPE continue to see daily trading volumes of over $100 million, BONK is seeing volumes below the $50 million level, showing reduced participation from investors. FARTCOIN Could Still Make Waves Just like a number of Solana meme coins that rose to fame over the last two years, FARTCOIN saw rapid and accelerated growth within a short time. Like the others, it has since slowed down, losing most of its all-time high value. But that has not completely washed out bullish sentiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Turns Positive After 10 Weeks – Is US Demand Finally Returning? One crypto analyst points out that FARTCOIN could be due for another flush downward. But after that, the meme coin is expected to rise again, and possibly complete an over 2x rally. According to the crypto analyst, the ideal buy zone for the meme coin would be around $0.14610.

Solana’s price action this year has followed a clear but uncomfortable pattern. After pushing to a new all-time high around the $296 region in January, the rally quickly lost momentum and transitioned into a steady decline that has persisted for months. Many traders have attributed this weakness to a risk-off sentiment across crypto, but a deeper on-chain breakdown shared by crypto analyst Ardi on X suggests the story began well before the January peak and has more to do with who was buying and who was quietly exiting. Distribution Was Already Underway Before The January Peak Solana has been on a clear downtrend since September, when it reached a lower high of around $247 compared to its January 19 all-time high of $293. One of the most important insights from Ardi’s analysis is that Solana’s January all-time high did not mark the start of distribution but rather the culmination of it. Related Reading: Why Has The Solana Price Been Crashing Since October? This Major SOL Player Is Selling The chart attached to his post shows that selling volume was already increasing months earlier, well ahead of October, meaning that large holders were positioning for exits long before price reached its final peak. From that perspective, the January high looks less like the beginning of a new expansion phase and more like the last push of a rally. After that point, price action began forming lower highs, and each rebound attempt lacked the strength needed to reclaim the all-time high. Interestingly, Solana failed to reach a new all-time high, even as other large market cap cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and BNB pushed to new all-time highs during the year. Another interesting feature of the data is the widening gap between retail behavior and that of larger players. Cumulative delta metrics on the chart show that retail-sized wallets have been consistently active throughout the year and are increasing their activity even as Solana’s price moved lower. On the other hand, mid-sized and institutional wallets tell a very different story. Their activity has been trending downward for months, starting from the January peak and extending up until the time of writing. Is Solana’s Price Becoming Dependent On Memecoin Activity? Ardi’s analysis also raises a broader question about what is currently driving demand for Solana. Outside of retail activity on Solana itself, one of the few consistent sources of activity has been the memecoin sector. Successes and booms of meme coins like Cat in a Dogs World (MEW), Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), which gained traction in the second half of 2024, contributed to Solana’s push to all-time highs during those periods. Related Reading: Will Solana Flip Ethereum? Revenue Numbers Show Disturbing Trend Those meme coin successes culminated with the launch of the Official Trump ($TRUMP) token in January 2025 on Solana, which experienced eye-watering gains shortly after its launch. This, in turn, contributed to Solana’s all-time high in January. However, since then, the TRUMP token and other Solana-based meme coins have been trending downwards in recent months and no longer command the same level of attention or trading intensity they had this time last year. That has led to the view that Solana’s price is increasingly sensitive to the success of memecoins in its ecosystem. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $121.50, down by about 58.6% from its January all-time high of $293. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is facing backlash from the crypto community over his comments about meme coins and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Yakovenko made these remarks against these tokens despite his network being home to most of the top meme coins by market capitalization. Crypto Community Reacts To Solana Founder’s Comments The crypto community criticized Anatoly Yakovenko following his X post, in which he described meme coins and NFTs as “digital slop” and ones that have no intrinsic value. The Solana founder added that, like a mobile game loot box, people spend $150 billion a year on mobile gaming, in reference to his ideology about meme coins and NFTs. Related Reading: These Two Bearish Scenarios Put Solana Price At $162 After Fakeout Crypto marketer Anastasiia Bobeshko described the Solana founder’s comments as being funny, considering the traction that memes have brought into the Solana ecosystem. She further noted that the network made $1.6 billion in the first half of 2025 thanks to these meme coins. Another member of the crypto community, Ethereum developer Hanniabu, had earlier echoed a similar sentiment, suggesting that the network would be nothing without meme coins. Null, a member of the BONK community, declared that the Solana network would have never been where it is today without meme coins. Yakavenko replied sarcastically, saying, “Absolutely. Without lootboxes, iOS would have negligible revenues for Apple.” Meanwhile, Crypto community member Art Chick asked the Solana founder if he had a problem with memecoin traders spending $150 billion a year on his chain, but they don’t see it as mobile gaming. Yakovenko responded and alluded to an earlier reply in which he explained that what is important is the need to monitor data, fix problems, use snipers, and work towards sandwich-resistant market implementations. Difference Between Solana and Base Meme Coins It is worth noting that the Solana founder’s comment about meme coins stemmed from when he criticized a comment from Base’s lead developer Jesse Pollak, who suggested that Zora meme coins (which are Base tokens) are more valuable than those from Solana’s Pump.fun. In response, Yakovenko asked Pollak if Zora coins have any claims on future cash flows from creators, something which Pump.fun has. Related Reading: Top Meme Coins Stealing The Spotlight As Bitcoin Price Hits $118,000 ATH Pollak then clarified that each coin’s value depends on their fundamentals, which is why he believes that not all meme coins are the same. However, the Solana founder doesn’t believe meme coins as a whole have any “intrinsic value.” Despite his comment, these meme coins, especially the top ones like Fartcoin, BONK, PENGU, and TRUMP, continue to contribute to a significant amount of the daily trading volume on the network. Notably, the Solana price surged to a new all-time high (ATH) of $294 in January, around the time the TRUMP meme coin first launched. SOL witnessed a significant surge in its demand at the time, with investors requiring the altcoin to purchase the meme coin. At the time of writing, the Solana price is trading at around $183, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto markets are under pressure as bearish momentum tightens its grip on several altcoins. SUI continues to slide below key moving averages, signaling sustained weakness, while FARTCOIN extends its downtrend with a series of lower lows and highs. With both assets nearing critical support levels and momentum indicators flashing warning signs, a bounce is coming, or downside could be imminent. Bearish Momentum Builds As SUI Trades Below Key Moving Averages In a recent post, Gemxbt highlighted that SUI is currently locked in a downtrend, with the price trading below its 5, 10, and 20-period moving averages. This alignment of short-term averages below the current price level signals sustained bearish momentum, as sellers continue to dominate market activity. Related Reading: SUI MACD Signals Massive Rally Ahead — 400% Price Surge Possible Adding to the cautious outlook, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near oversold territory, which often indicates weakening selling pressure. While this suggests that SUI could be due for a short-term bounce or relief rally, it is not yet a strong reversal signal on its own. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator remains firmly in bearish territory, reinforcing the idea that downward momentum may persist in the near term. The lack of a bullish crossover or divergence in the MACD lines suggests that sellers still have the upper hand. Gemxbt pointed out that the key support level to watch is around $3.92. A drop below this level could accelerate the decline, while a rebound from it, especially with a noticeable increase in volume, might indicate a shift in sentiment. Until such a volume-driven move occurs, the overall trend remains downward. Bearish Structure Intact As FARTCOIN Forms Lower Lows And Highs According to Gemxbt in another post, FARTCOIN is currently exhibiting a bearish market structure, characterized by a series of lower highs and lower lows. This pattern points to sustained selling pressure, with bears firmly in control of the price action for now. Related Reading: Fartcoin Reaches Critical Make-Or-Break Level: Analyst Reveals What Could Happen From $0.77 Fartcoin’s RSI is approaching oversold territory, which could indicate that the asset is nearing a point where a short-term bounce or relief rally might occur. However, while the RSI hints at a possible rebound, it does not yet confirm any shift in the prevailing downtrend. Meanwhile, the MACD continues to reflect bearish momentum, with no signs of a bullish crossover. This reinforces the broader downtrend and suggests that any potential bounce may be limited unless momentum indicators begin to shift more favorably. The analyst went on to state that key support is currently identified around the 0.0003500 level, while resistance lies near 0.0004500. A decisive break of either of these levels could determine the next significant move for FARTCOIN. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Crypto Inside has provided a bullish outlook for the PEPE meme coin. The analyst predicted that it could witness a 150% surge as it looks to grab the liquidity above its current range. PEPE Eyes Rally To $0.000025 In Bid To Grab Liquidity Above In a TradingView post, Crypto Inside shared an accompanying chart in which he predicted that PEPE could jump to as high as $0.000025 following its reclaim of the $0.000010 support zone. He explained that this price surge could occur because there is currently more liquidity above than below. Related Reading: PEPE Eyes 500% Move In Pre-Breakout Retest, Can It Outperform Dogecoin? The chart showed that there is a total sell liquidity of 10,678.659 trillion around this $0.00025 range. Meanwhile, the total buy liquidity for PEPE below its current crucial support zone is 6,827.768 trillion. It is worth mentioning that a rally to $0.000025 will bring the meme coin close to its current all-time high (ATH) of $0.00002825. Crypto Inside touched on the meme coin’s liquidity depth. The analyst stated that the price moves from one liquidity to another and that this is the meme coin’s fuel. He remarked that there is significantly more of this fuel accumulated at the top, alluding to the sell liquidity. The analyst added that PEPE has always been a highly speculative asset, and during prolonged one-sided movements, extremely high funding is formed in it. This, he noted, provokes sharp jumps in price. Crypto Inside also commented on the current PEPE price action. He noted that the meme coin has now reached the largest zone of interest at $00.0000817 and is trying to consolidate there. He remarked that this is a powerful level around which consolidation can be expected before further growth. However, he warned that if the PEPE price falls below it without the possibility of returning, it will be an extremely bearish signal. The Meme Coin’s Narrative Is Still Strong As part of his analysis, Crypto Inside suggested that PEPE’s narrative is still strong, which is why the meme coin still has a chance to reach new highs. He explained that the narrative itself is still important in meme coins and that PEPE is an “eternal meme,” which will live forever. He added that it is the embodiment of meme culture in the world. Related Reading: PEPE Price Confirms Phoenix Rising Pattern That Triggers 70% Surge The analyst assured market participants that there is no need to fear PEPE’s oblivion. He declared that it will definitely not die as a narrative and that there is nothing to worry about. However, he admitted that new meme coins like Fartcoin have stretched liquidity across the market, and many have left PEPE for “new shiny things.” At the time of writing, the PEPE price is trading at around $0.00001056, over 11% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

PEPE drops 12%, SPX6900 dives 11%, and Fartcoin falls 9% amid geopolitical shocks and whale exits. Is the meme coin market facing a hard reset?
Leading meme coins are not immune to the market’s sell-off, with Dogecoin, Fartcoin, Pepe, and other meme giants plunging.
Meme coins are mooning again, and there's at least three tokens that stand out among the pack.
Bitcoin surpassed its all-time high, while meme coins outperformed the leading asset with double digit gains.
One of the most intriguing cryptocurrencies, Fartcoin (FART), has made surprising gains as a spate of market turbulence in April 2025 reached new heights. The meme token, trading at $0.83 when this report was made, surged 84% in the last week, elevating it into the spotlight of investors as global markets writhed in turmoil and tensions between the United States and China reached new highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Maxi Takes Aim: Ethereum’s True Value? Lower Than You Think Price Nears Critical $1 Milestone Market statistics suggest that Fartcoin is trading under $1 but is testing key resistance levels. The technical indicators suggest that this token may soon be able to cross the important resistance level of $1.14. Analysts following the rise of the cryptocurrency expect that, on the barrier’s successful breach, prices would then rapidly escalate to the $1.25-$1.50 bracket. A high-profile transaction recently involved a major holder offloading 3.7 million Fartcoin tokens at $0.90. Even with this huge sale, the price of the token has remained stable around the $1 level, which implies continued confidence on the part of buyers. I think Fartcoin goes to $1.25 minimum on this run and possibly up to $1.50, will be prob scaling some out there Ofc there will eventually be a decent sized pullback but this meme has the most mindshare, great liquidity, and has transcended to normie world Hot air rises pic.twitter.com/p3zehbD20J — Altcoin Sherpa (@AltcoinSherpa) April 12, 2025 Experts Warn Of Potential Volatility Risks Market analysts have sounded a warning about Fartcoin’s steep price appreciation. The volatile nature of meme coins tends to lead to precipitous price declines with little notice. According to analyst reports, the token’s speculative nature makes it highly susceptible to sudden adjustments. As recent trading volumes show growth in interest for Fartcoin, this has been a waving flag for financial advisors that one should be cautious prior to making investments in highly volatile assets. This was also evidenced in the stability of the price currently around $1, which suggests that even with the risk associated, it does not dissuade many investors from projected profit maximization. Technical Analysis Shows Short-Term Bullish Indicators Ichimoku cloud indicator statistics state that Fartcoin has consolidated above a very strong support level. Technical analysts define this as indicative of a short-term bullish trend: the price remains above the green section of the cloud zone. Market players are keeping a close eye on whether the token is able to hold above $1, which would be an indication of further price potential. The cryptocurrency needs to break through key resistance levels at $1.14 and $1.60 to reach its next possible breakout.

In the last month, there have been multiple ups and downs for the crypto industry, but Fartcoin is the one altcoin that has stood out through all of it with major recoveries. In less than one month, the Fartcoin price has risen by more than 230%, placing it at the top of the leaderboard for cryptocurrencies that have recovered in the last month. Now, as its popularity spread, the question remains, is it still a good time to get in on this AI play? Fartcoin Price Headed For Major Resistance Fartcoin is currently one of the trending cryptocurrencies on the Internet after staging a rapid rally in April. Its daily trading volume has risen to more than $350 million at the time of this writing and it continues to garner attention from investors. It has risen to $0.88 after touching a low of $0.23 back in March. Now, it looks like it is on its way to trying another all-time high above its previous $2.61 peak from January. Related Reading: Trump’s Tariff Pause Could Push Bitcoin Price Above $100,000, Pundit Reveals Exit Point Crypto analyst MyCryptoParadise has chimed in on Fartcoin’s recovery, mapping out where it could be headed next. While the analyst does see the price rising higher from here, it is not all good news, especially as Fartcoin seems to be headed toward a major resistance. They explain that the altcoin is currently completely the third wave of a classic Elliot Wave impulse, which is a bullish wave. With the price having risen so much, it means that the end of the bullish third wave could be ending and about to usher in the more bearish fourth wave. Not only is the bearish fourth wave on the horizon, the analyst says that Fartcoin could probably enter a corrective ABC wave during this time. What this means is that the altcoin could be headed for major resistance, where the power of the current uptrend would be tested. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Rebound: Breakout To $1,800 With These Two Supply Zones There is very strong resistance for Fartcoin at $1.05, which is still around 15% away from where the price currently is at the time of this writing. However, if the price were to successfully close above the extended resistance zone of $1.1361, then the uptrend could continue from here. “This is the point where the weak hands get shaken out and smart money reloads,” the crypto analyst explains. “If you’re aiming for long-term success, wait for high-probability setups and protect your capital.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Some crypto traders have made millions of dollars from the latest leading narrative, Artificial Intelligence (AI) related tokens. However, the sector’s quick rise in popularity has received backlash from several community members and industry figures, who consider the tokens “worse” than the memecoin trend. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bounces Back Above $100K – Is the Bull Run Resuming or a Correction Ahead? Crypto Traders Make Millions From AI-Related Tokens On January 6, on-chain data analysis firm Lookonchain shared that a smart Solana trader obtained massive returns from AI agent and memecoin ai16z (AI16Z). The investor turned $2 million into $21 million in less than two months amid the AI-related tokens rally. The AI-managed crypto fund is on the Solana blockchain and governed by the ai16zDAO. Its name is a wordplay originating from the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, also known as a16z, seemingly created to bring attention to the project. According to the post, the whale purchased 10.6 million ai16z, worth $2.27 million, between November 15 and November 22, 2024, at an average cost of $0.214. Since then, the cryptocurrency has seen a 965% surge to trade around $2.28. At the time of the report, the investor’s holdings were valued at around $21 million, making $19 million in unrealized profits. Earlier today, the whale sent 5.3 million ai16z, worth $10.68 million, into Jupiter to sell via limit order. Meanwhile, another trader turned $123,000 into $4.5 million after betting on ai16z when the token’s market capitalization was $22 million. The whale purchased 6.17 million ai16z and sold 4.67 million for around $1.78 million last month. The investor currently holds 2.65 million ai16z tokens, valued at $2.9 million, bringing the total profits to more than $4.5 million in two months. This whale also made another $13.4 million from other AI crypto tokens like GOAT, FARTCOIN, and ARC. Community Calls AI Agent Tokens ‘Overrated’ In late 2024, AI Agent tokens gained massive popularity among crypto investors, with several experts predicting that AI-related tokens, alongside memecoins, would be the largest narrative of this year. Meanwhile, AI memecoins stole the spotlight as the year ended, sending some of the tokens in the sector to the top 10 memecoins ranks in late December. Ai16z, the largest AI memecoin by market capitalization, has seen a 251% increase in the past month, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $2.47 on January 2. The token is also the third-largest AI agent crypto and has seen a 25% surge in the last 24 hours, trading between $2.25 and $2.28 throughout Monday morning. Nonetheless, the sector has received heavy criticism recently from the crypto community. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT recently called AI agent tokens a scam. Responding to Justin Taylor, another industry member, the crypto detective stated that “99% of it is a scam” and suggested that “the AI agent wrapper grifts are probably worse than other past trends.” Related Reading: Litecoin Comeback: LTC Breaks Free And Guns For $400 Zach argued that memecoins “at least” promised nothing, “AI coins try to larp as much as possible to appear legit to unsuspecting buyers.” Similarly, Solana founders consider AI agent tokens to be overhyped. According to an anonymous poll of 42 Solana founders, several of the polled considered AI Agents, alongside Blinks, to be the “most overrated Solana sector.” Despite the criticism, the sector still registers a 5% increase in the last 24 hours, with a daily trading volume of $2.28 billion and a market capitalization of $17.5 billion, according to CoinGecko data.

Popular Solana-based Launchpad Pump.fun started 2025 with a record-breaking $15 million daily revenue amid the ongoing frenzy surrounding memecoins. The sector continues to be the best-performing narrative of the cycle, driving millions into the hands of investors. Related Reading: Altcoins To Explode In Early 2025: Analyst Says “Grand Finale” Is Around The Corner Pump.Fun Sees Record-Breaking Daily Revenue Memecoins have been this cycle’s largest narrative, with Solana-based tokens stealing the spotlight throughout 2024. This trend is seemingly set to continue this year after Solana’s launchpad Pump.fun saw a record-breaking performance on January 1st, 2025. Last year, Pump.fun cemented itself as the most popular token launcher for simplifying the creation of memecoins and facilitating token deployment. During Q3 2024, the launchpad surpassed Ethereum and most Solana protocols, doubling the fees and revenue of these projects. The remarkable success of Pump.fun saw the creation of several competitors, including the Tron-based SunPump and multi-chain platform GraFun. Despite being banned in the UK in December, the launchpad’s performance remained steady, recording a daily revenue between $2 million and $3 million throughout the month. As of this writing, the platform has deployed 5.39 million tokens since its launch and generated over 2.02 million SOL in revenue, worth $418.7 million at current prices. Moreover, the Solana launchpad started 2025 with a new record-breaking day, surpassing its previous milestone. According to Dune Analytics data, Pump.fun registered 72,506 SOL, around $15 million, in daily revenue this Wednesday. This performance represents a nearly 30% increase from the 55,000 SOL recorded in late November. Additionally, the launchpad continued to dominate Solana decentralized exchange (DEX) transactions last month. Dune data shows that Pump.fun-related transactions accounted for 52.8% of all SOL DEX transactions in December. Memecoin Mania Continues Despite Criticism The platform’s success has also brought heavy criticism. At the end of 2024, Pump.fun received criticism after several users broadcasted harmful and violent content using its Livestream feature. In late November, users created numerous memecoins using controversial prompts to become viral and pump their tokens. The trend started after a 12-year-old livestreamed himself rugging a memecoin. Amid the livestream chaos, the Solana launchpad registered its largest revenue day, recording 55,832 SOL, worth around $11 million, in a single day. However, the incident resulted in backlash from the crypto community and the temporary shutdown of the feature. Moreover, on-chain data analysis firm Lookonchain reported that Pump.fun deposited over 355,608 SOL to Kraken during the last day. This brings the total tokens sent to the exchange to 1,564,064 SOL and the amount sold to 264,373 SOL for 41.64 million USDC. The platform’s transfers and sell-offs have also received significant backlash, with community members driving comparisons between the Solana-based launchpad and the Ethereum Foundation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Retests $95,000 Amid 4.2% Surge, Is A New Year Rebound Coming? Nonetheless, the memecoin narrative continues to dominate the crypto market, with the “Solana Meme” category on CoinGecko recording a 12.5% increase to a market capitalization of $20.9 billion in the last 24 hours, suggesting that the trend is likely to extend. Newer players like ai16z (AI16Z) and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) saw an 8.9% and 43.7% daily surge to hit new all-time highs (ATHs) on January 2nd. Ultimately, these relatively new tokens have stolen the sector’s spotlight, making it to the top 10 memecoin list in record time. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Solana-based memecoin Fartcoin briefly exceeded a $1 billion market cap amid a downturn in the altcoin market.
