The zkVM scaling solution will make the dog-themed memecoin network “STRONKer than all the others,” QED and Nexus said.
Popcat, the latest Solana-based memecoin sensation, has crowned itself as one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the market. The memecoin has stolen the spotlight following its 117% surge throughout Q3, outperforming other well-established tokens in the sector. The feline sensation has now consolidated as the first cat-themed memecoin to hit a $1 billion market capitalization, leading the market’s bullish run alongside tokens like Sei (SEI) and Worldcoin (WLD). Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For ‘Strongest September Performance’, Is $90,000 Next? POPCAT Hits $1 Billion Market Cap Status Memecoins became the leading sector during this cycle, with many tokens outperforming most altcoins over the last few months. At the front of the frenzy, dog-themed tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) stole the spotlight during Q1 and Q2. However, a feline rival is challenging its spot as Solana’s best-performing memecoin. Investors and market watchers have praised the cat-themed sensation’s performance over the past few months. Throughout Q3’s violent market retraces, POPCAT showed a remarkable performance, becoming the largest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies several times. The memecoin’s price quickly bounced from its 55% pullbacks during the market crashes, recovering and surpassing its previous level each time. POPCAT’s price has seen a 117% surge in the past three months, driving its price from the $0.68 mark to a new all-time high (ATH). In the late hours of Tuesday, the cryptocurrency broke above the $0.97 resistance level set by its previous ATH. The memecoin continued its 21% jump towards the $1.08 level, its new ATH, before retracing to the $1.01-$1.02 price range. The surge propelled POPCAT’s market capitalization to the $1 billion mark, cementing its status as the leading cat-themed token and making it the first memecoin in this sector to achieve it. Following its remarkable rise, the token registers a 57.8% and 40.2% surge in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Its daily market activity also saw an 82% jump to a trading daily volume of $133.3 million in the last 24 hours. Investors See Further Price Potential Some crypto whales loaded their bags as POPCAT broke the $1 barrier. On Wednesday morning, on-chain data analytics firm Lookonchain revealed that a crypto investor recently repurchased the cat-themed sensation, suggesting that some investors feel positive about the token’s future performance. Per the post, the whale spent 8,644 SOL, worth around $1.29 million, to buy 1.3 million POPCAT over the past two days. The address bought 456,000 tokens on Monday before acquiring another 843,000 POPCAT when the memecoin hit $1. This whale had previously sold its POPCAT holding at a 45% loss over two months ago. The investor saw $611,000 in losses from selling its 1.69 million tokens. However, before the long-awaited surge to $1, crypto investor Trade4ddict noted that the POPCAT’s consolidation under the key resistance level was a strong sign for its potential bull continuation.

As the broader crypto market shows signs of notable recovery, memecoins are experiencing significant gains, reflecting investors’ renewed appetite for quick and substantial returns after a period of volatility and price declines. Move From Bitcoin To Memecoins In Upcoming Crypto Bull Run? Crypto analyst Ardizor has outlined five memecoins to watch, anticipating that these assets could yield substantial returns as what he describes as the “biggest bull run” in crypto is set to commence in October. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Outshine Gold By 400% By 2025, Veteran Analyst Predicts According to Ardizor, Bitcoin (BTC) cycles typically begin 170 days after its Halving event and reach their peak approximately 310 days later. He suggests that starting in October, these memecoins and the broader market are positioned for significant gains that could surpass previous record highs. Ardizor emphasizes that new bull runs often begin with liquidity flowing to established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) before shifting toward memecoins, setting the stage for a potential resurgence in the sector. Five Tokens Poised For Major Gains Among the memecoins Ardizor highlights are Sundog (SUNDOG), which has rapidly gained traction within the Tron network. He notes that Sundog is rooted in community engagement, aiming to unite enthusiasts and create “an inclusive ecosystem that offers various benefits for its holders.” Currently trading at $0.31, up nearly 6% in the 24-hour time frame, and with a market cap of approximately $287.7 million, Sundog stands out as one of the most promising new entries in the memecoin landscape, according to the analyst. Another notable mention is Simon’s Cat (CAT), which has emerged as the largest and most recognized meme coin on the Binance Smart Chain (BNB). Ardizor points to its consistent price increase, noting that Simon’s Cat is backed by the well-known Simon’s Cat brand, which has garnered over 1.6 billion views on its YouTube channel. The memecoin has a market cap of around $280.6 million and is trading at $0.000040, up a substantial 96% in the last month alone, proving the analyst’s theory of further price gains and investor interest in the token. The analyst also discusses Cate on ETH (CATE), a memecoin that originated from the Dogeverse and was inspired by a tweet from the Own the Doge social media account. With strong ties to Dogecoin (DOGE), Ardizor believes that CATE embodies a “spirit of adventure and innovation”, making it an attractive option for investors looking for the next big thing in memecoins. It currently has a market cap of around $16.2 million. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 8,500% Rally For Cardano To Reach $31 As Indicators Turn Bullish In addition, Neiro (NEIRO) is highlighted as a continuation of the Doge legacy. Associated with Kabosu, the dog behind the iconic Doge meme, Ardizor contended that Neiro captures the “true essence of memecoins and internet culture.” NEIRO currently has a market capitalization of $341 million, with a notable 52% increase in the last 24 hours, resulting in a trading price of $0.0012, and over 2,325% in the last thirty days alone, making it the best performing token on Ardizor’s list. Finally, Ardizor introduces the Turbo token (TURBO), a project that began as a bold experiment in cryptocurrency creation. Inspired by artificial intelligence (AI), Turbo was initiated with a simple challenge to create the next great memecoin starting with just $69. Today, the analyst notes that it thrives as a decentralized, community-led initiative, boasting a market cap of $387 million. Currently, TURBO trades at $0.0062, recording impressive gains of 8,980% year-to-date (YTD). Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

The memecoin FLOKi is leading today’s crypto market with a rally of +12.8% in the last 24 hours, sharing the top spot with Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) which is up +12.2%. The price surge can be several developments and partnerships, most notably involving Binance and the upcoming airdrop of Simon’s Cat (CAT) token. #1 Binance Supports CAT Airdrop To FLOKI Holders Probably the most important factor fueling today’s FLOKI price rally is the announcement that Binance, the leading global crypto exchange, will support the airdrop for Simon’s Cat (CAT). The exchange’s decision to take a snapshot on August 29, 2024, is crucial for the airdrop distribution and has presumably ignited buying pressure from airdrop hunters. According to the official Floki blog: “As initially revealed in our official announcement about Simon’s Cat launch on TokenFi, Simon’s Cat has allocated 20% of the total CAT supply to the Floki community. This strategic move is expected to enhance both the visibility and liquidity of FLOKI tokens across platforms.” Related Reading: End Of The Slump? Floki Eyes A 46% Price Surge — Analyst The upcoming airdrop involves distributing approximately 315 billion CAT tokens, which constitutes 3.5% of the total Simon’s Cat token supply. Eligibility for the airdrop requires holders to maintain a minimum of 400,000 FLOKI tokens, with the distribution proportional to the amount of FLOKI held at the time of the snapshot. #2 FLOKI DAO Approves CAT Reserve Further bolstering FLOKI’s market position is the recent decision by the FLOKI DAO to allocate $200,000 USDT from its treasury for investing in Simon’s Cat Token. This move, approved by 97.72% of voting participants, could enhance the intrinsic value of FLOKI. The official statement released by the FLOKI DAO emphasized: “After a decisive vote by the FLOKI DAO, with 97.72% approval, Floki will allocate $200,000 USDT from the Floki Treasury to invest in the CAT token, which will be held as a strategic asset. This decision highlights our dedication to community-driven governance and decision-making.” #3 Market Sentiment And New Exchange Listing The crypto community has also been abuzz with talks of a new BNB memecoin season, a sentiment that has been supported by FLOKI’s official X account. The team wrote on Wednesday: Related Reading: Floki Inu To Build Schools In India, FLOKI Price Seen Hitting $17 “We’re hearing whispers of BNB season again. Here’s a reminder that FLOKI is the biggest memecoin on the BNB chain by far! Floki is bigger than every other memecoin on the BNB chain COMBINED and is partnered with the BNB chain. We’re excited about the BNB ecosystem and will continue to actively support it!” Additionally, major crypto exchange ByBit added the FLOKI / USDC trading pair yesterday. The exchange revealed the listing in response to strong demand, boosting Floki’s liquidity to over 40 MILLION users. “This addition will make it easier for ByBit’s massive user base to purchase FLOKI and interact with the FLOKI ecosystem,” the memecoin’s team remarked via X. #4 Bullish Chart Setup Technical analysis from popular crypto analyst CRG (@MacroCRG shows a bullish chart setup for FLOKI. The convergence of fundamental developments and technical indicators suggests a strong upward momentum. CRG stated: “FLOKI chart looks fkin delicious. Plus, lots of fundamental tailwinds to ignite momentum: CAT / @SimonsCatMeme launching today (BNB szn loading, FLOKI should be a huge beneficiary as it’s BNB’s flagship meme). Binance also confirmed to be airdropping a big chunk of CAT to FLOKI holders, bullish af. Full send.” At press time, FLOKI traded at $0.00014303.

The crypto ecosystem has seen a surge in memecoins and their popularity over the past year. Still, the craze has ushered in a wave of scams and rug pulls targeting unsuspecting investors. The latest victim of this trend is the Solana-based GRIMACE coin, which was the subject of a rug pull. GRIMACE Surges 400% After McDonald’s Instagram Hack The incident began when hackers accessed the official McDonald’s Instagram account and used the platform to promote the GRIMACE token. The hackers spread misinformation, falsely claiming that McDonald’s had issued the GRIMACE memecoin on the Solana blockchain. Related Reading: Here’s What’s Going On With The Shiba Inu Price This had the desired effect, as investors rapidly piled into the GRIMACE token, driving its market capitalization from a modest $500,000 to a substantial $25 million in 30 minutes. At its peak, the token’s price skyrocketed by nearly 400%, reaching $0.02500 from an initial value of just $0.0005110. However, the euphoria was short-lived. After the token’s rise, the anonymous developers behind GRIMACE executed a classic rug pull, abruptly abandoning the project and absconding with over $700,000 in investor funds. The hackers even posted a message on the McDonald’s Instagram bio, brazenly stating, “Thank you for the $700,000 in Solana.” Solana Price Analysis On the other hand, the Solana price has been relatively stable since Monday, trading within a newly formed range between $138 and $142 after recovering from the drop at the beginning of the month toward the $109 level, which was the lowest point since March this year. Over the past 24 hours, SOL has recorded almost no changes compared to Tuesday’s price, experiencing a slight 0.9% drop despite Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) surging nearly 3% and 2%, respectively. This lack of price movement suggests little demand for the fifth-largest cryptocurrency in the market over the past week, further evidenced by a 14% drop in trading volume to $2.2 million in the last 48 hours, according to CoinGecko data. Related Reading: Tron Rises 24% Amid New Developments – Will The Uptrend Continue? The consolidation in Solana’s price is also concerning for bullish investors, as the token has failed to overcome its key technical indicators. Currently trading at $142, SOL has not breached its 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), which are positioned at $143 and $151, respectively. Overcoming these levels would be crucial for sustained price recovery and provide important support floors in the event of potential corrections. However, it is worth noting that after the broader cryptocurrency market crash on August 5, SOL found significant support at the $129 level, representing a critical near-term defense for Solana’s price action.

Recently, a massive transaction shook the digital currency ecosystem. A prominent whale transferred 400 billion PEPE tokens—worth about $4.22 million—to Binance. Related Reading: GRT Market Signals 12% Drop: Is A Turnaround Possible? Strategically timed among the general negative market mood, this move seems to be a deliberate one for partial profit booking. The whale’s behavior corresponds to the breach of a critical support level around $0.00001075, a key threshold that has lately increased the downward pressure on PEPE’s price. A whale deposited 400B $PEPE($4.22M) to #Binance to take profits in the past hour. The whale withdrew 795.92B $PEPE($2.55M at the time) from #Binance on Mar 1 and currently has 395.93B $PEPE($4.18M) left. His total profit on $PEPE is $5.85M, the ROI is 230%!… pic.twitter.com/o7T1ihjoq9 — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) August 1, 2024 Previously active on March 1st, the whale pulled out 795 billion PEPE tokens from Binance, worth $2.55 million. Even with this big withdrawal, the whale still has a decent 396 billion PEPE, which means it has an unrealized profit of $5.85 million, or a 230% return on investment. This amazing financial dance shows how smart the whale is and how dangerous it is to trade PEPE in a market that is always changing. Pepe Technical Study: Negative PEPE is trading at about $0.00001051 as of the most recent report, a 7.5% decline in price over the last 24 hours. Concurrently, trade volume has jumped by 14%, indicating a change in market involvement and investor participation. Technical study shows a pessimistic view of the cryptocurrency despite this higher activity. With forecasts showing a possible 20% collapse in the short future, the recent violation of the important support level of $0.00001075 is expected to propel further drops. The 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) suggests PEPE may find support around $0.0000852. Despite the gloomy market, this technical indicator suggests price stabilization. Technical indicators and market dynamics challenge PEPE’s prospects. Liquidation Levels And Possible Rebound The latest development also puts into perspective PEPE’s main liquidation thresholds, which lie on the lower end at $0.000010 and on the upper end at $0.0000118. Should the bearish mood persists, the meme coin may experience a downward motion below $0.000010, forcing the liquidation of around $2.04 million in long bets. Conversely, a shift in market sentiment could result in PEPE falling below $0.0000118, which would result in the liquidation of approximately $13.4 million in short positions. Beyond the current volatility, PEPE projections remain somewhat positive, though short-term forecasts show a significant comeback with an expected 249.99% gain over the following three months. Related Reading: Can Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Go Up 680% This Week? This Analyst Believes So With expected rates of 183.50% over six months and 169.42% over one year, the longer horizon seems as bright. These scenarios could be good news for the popular meme coin as it maneuvers its way into the volatile crypto market, but all things considered PEPE could be headed in the right direction. In essence, the larger projection stays robust even if PEPE has major short-term difficulties and liquidation hazards. The direction of the token will be greatly shaped by the combination of whale movements, technical indicators, and market emotion. Featured image from , chart from TradingView
A new dog-themed meme coin has taken the crypto market by storm. Inspired by Kabosu owner’s new dog, Neiro, a new wave of Shiba Inu-themed tokens surged on Solana. However, Its Ethereum-based competitor has stolen the show with its stellar performance in the last four days. Kabosu’s Sister Sparks New Memecoin Wave Kabosu, the dog that inspired the legendary Doge meme, passed away in May. The beloved dog also inspired the flagship memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE), and a plethora of Shiba Inu-themed tokens. Its owner recently announced she had adopted Neiro, a 10-year-old rescued Shiba Inu dog. Related Reading: Ethereum Seeing High Exchange Outflows, But Watch Out For This Bearish Signal Following the announcement, the crypto community saw the launch of several tokens inspired by the dog. Most of these tokens were deployed on Solana, initially pumping to millions in market capitalization. On its first day, the largest Solana-based Neiro meme coin reached a $100 million market cap. However, it has since plummeted over 80% to a market capitalization below $20 million, possibly due to the overabundance of Neiro tokens on the chain. The token was also heavily criticized after online reports called out alleged insider activity from the developers. Blockchain data firm Bubblemaps revealed that the developers of the largest Neiro token deployed on Solana had control of 6% of the token’s supply and eventually sold it for $5.7 million. Since then, the meme coin has seen a massive 84% price drop, going from its all-time high (ATH) of $0.12 to trading at $0.019. Are The Dog Days Back? The Ethereum-based Neiro stole the show from its Solana counterparts. The token has seen remarkable growth in the last four days, hitting a $200 million market cap on August 1. Since its creation on July 27, Neiro has registered a 4,400% surge, shredding two zeros as a result. Additionally, the token reached a new ATH price of $0.20 after soaring 81% from the day before. Nonetheless, the developers of Ethereum’s Neiro have also been accused of insider trading. Following the massive surge, Bubblemaps alerted investors that the token allegedly “is heavily controlled.” According to the report, 78% of the memecoin’s supply was sniped at launch and quickly spread among 400 wallets. The firm revealed that the wallets had sold 12% of their holdings, around $4.5 million, by July 30. Investors seemed unfazed by the reports, with many calling the report “bullish news.” Others expressed excitement by the firm’s “fudding,” stating, “A lot of the most successful memes require supply control.” Related Reading: Solana Looks ‘Ripe To Push Higher’, Is A Mania-Like Rally To $600 Coming? Moreover, many investors consider “the dog days are back” and the “Doge legacy continues” with the Ethereum-based memecoin. To an X user, there are a few reasons why Neiro’s has become an overnight sensation, including its “SHIB-like narrative,” “concentrated attention,” and the “return of dog meta that always dominates Ethereum bull cycles.” As of this writing, Neiro is trading at $0.18, a 63% surge in the last 24 hours.

The Trump-inspired tokens surged around 40% following Donald Trump’s assassination attempt. As a result, PolitiFi tokens closed the week, outperforming most categories in the industry. The remarkable performance earned some crypto whales millions in profits from the MAGA (TRUMP) memecoin. Related Reading: 1,000 Bitcoin On The Move: Satoshi-Era Whale Stirs The Crypto Waters Crypto Whale Profits From TRUMP Memecoin On Sunday, on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain reported that a crypto whale had made millions from a Trump-inspired memecoin. An address deposited all their TRUMP holdings to the crypto exchange BTSE. Per the report, the whale bought 1.08 million TRUMP between November 22 and December 4, 2023. The address acquired the tokens at an average price of $0.5, spending $540,000 for the memecoin. Seemingly, the whale made $8.85 million from the tokens, $8.3 million of which were profits. Per Lookonchain, the wallet was suspected to be owned by renowned crypto trader GCR. However, it was later confirmed the address in question wasn’t related to the crypto trader. Lookonchain also reported another address holding a significant amount of the Trump-inspired memecoin. The second address, also suspected to be linked to the crypto trader, has $6.5 million in unrealized profits from TRUMP. The whale wallet tagged “GCR: Address 1” spent over $700,000 to buy 936,279 TRUMP. The address bought the tokens at an average of $0.75 between December 8, 2023, and January 18, 2024. At the time of the report, the whale’s holdings were worth around $7.23 million. Nonetheless, it hasn’t been confirmed if this address is linked to the renowned crypto trader. PolitiFi And Trump-Inspired Tokens Soar Over the weekend, former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. The Republican Presidential Candidate got shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butner, Pennsylvania. Following the news, PolitiFi tokens soared over 30%. DeFi creator and analyst Jake Pahor shared that the PolitiFi sector outperformed most categories over the weekend. Pahor cited DeFiLlama data, revealing that PolitiFi tokens rose 36.7% last week. The DeFi analyst also noted that “all categories outperformed Bitcoin over the past 7 days, possibly indicating a shift towards a risk-on environment.” Before the failed Trump assassination attempt, Trump-inspired memecoins saw a pump. The tokens surged after the former US President was announced as a keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference on July 27. TRUMP’s price went from $5.74 to $6.54 after the news. This performance represented a 15% and 39.5% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes. Since then, the biggest Trump-themed memecoin has seen a 35% rise, fueled by the most recent incident. Following the assassination attempt, the token went from the $6.3 price range to the $9.51 mark, increasing by over 50% in twelve hours. On Sunday, the memecoin hovered between the $7.3-$7.9 price range, starting the week trading at $7.47.

Polygon (MATIC), which is the Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, is currently experiencing an unusual circumstance. Although there has been a significant increase in the amount of network activity, the price of the cryptocurrency continues to be uncertain. Both a potential technical breakthrough and a persistently negative mindset are preventing it from moving forward. Related Reading: Mass Adoption? NEAR Protocol Sees 17 Million Unique Addresses In 30 Days Polygon: Can Active Addresses Raise The Bar? Polygon’s network was humming on July 8th, with an astounding 1.18 million active addresses. For the same period, this easily outpaced Ethereum (365K) and Bitcoin (594K). The increase in user activity stoked expectations of a positive breakout, especially as MATIC was trading over a crucial $0.50 barrier level. Co-founder of Polygon Mihailo Bjelic excitedly provided this statistics, emphasising the increasing use of the network. Some cryptocurrency fans, meanwhile, were quick to label this as a “vanity metric.” They contended that robust economic fundamentals or important transactions are not always correlated with raw address count. Number of active addresses (24h): Polygon: 1.18M Bitcoin: 594k Ethereum: 365k Not too shabby, I guess.. — Mihailo Bjelic (@MihailoBjelic) July 8, 2024 Although resistance lingers, the falling wedge pattern suggests a breakout. Taking into consideration the technological aspects, it seems that things are getting better for MATIC. As the token has been moving in a falling wedge formation, which is commonly seen as a sign that an upswing in the market is about to occur, the pattern has been observed. In addition, as a result of a recent spike in price, MATIC came dangerously close to crossing the threshold of $0.50 for a brief while. It is probable that this is an indication of a future breakout, particularly if the volume of trade grows. MATIC market cap at nearly $5 billion today. Chart: TradingView.comBut the bulls are up against an unyielding obstacle. As the mark has shown to be a strong resistance level in the past, a clear break above it is essential to the validation of the falling wedge breakout. Moreover, the general mood of the market is still biassed towards the bears. At the time of writing, MATIC was down 10% in the weekly timeframe, data from Coingecko show. Bullish Binance, But Can They Move The Market? Meanwhile, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance offers some optimism. When it comes to MATIC, Binance, users seem to be far more optimistic than the whole market. With a solid long to short position ratio of 3.2052, they appear to have a high conviction in the potential of MATIC going forward. Related Reading: XRP Stages A Comeback: Aims To Reclaim $0.50 After Recent Plunge It’s encouraging to see such strong enthusiasm on a significant exchange.

A falling wedge breakthrough might occur if it can generate enough volume to break over the $0.50 barrier and maintain the momentum. But if the barrier holds and the bearish attitude persists, MATIC can experience more downside pressure. Featured image from cryptodnes.bg, chart from TradingView

Over the weekend, a crypto trader turned 70 SOL into $3 million with a Solana-based token. However, the investor’s success story was overshadowed by the controversial launch of the memecoin that made it possible. Related Reading: Avalanche (AVAX) Price Rallies: Can It Break Through the $30 Barrier? Trader Makes $3 Million In Minutes A crypto trader made millions in 30 minutes after investing $9,923 in Solana-based memecoin BAKED. Lookonchain reported that a sniper spent 70 SOL to buy 81.78 million BAKED. 30 minutes later, the trader sold his holdings for 21,581 SOL, worth around $3.06 million, in 76 transactions. The feat was achieved by a seemingly “lucky” trader who previously invested and lost money in other Solana memecoins. The on-chain analysis platform concluded that the investor was likely not an insider as it had bought the tokens from Raydium’s pool instead of the Degen Fund. However, Lookonchain revealed that BAKED’s team and insiders hold over 70% of the supply. Per the report, the dev wallet spent 11.82 SOL to buy 300.72 million BAKED from the Degen Fund, where the token was launched. The wallet bought the Solana memecoin “while minting tokens and 206.9M $BAKED was added to liquidity.” 19 wallets snatched up the remaining 492.37 million tokens in one second. These wallets were created simultaneously with the dev wallet and were funded by Bitget. 15 out of 19 wallets withdrew SOL from Bitget three days ago and are suspected to be linked to BAKED’s team and insiders. As a result, 78% of the supply, worth around $15.6 million, was held by insider and dev-related wallets. The wallets spent 82.4 SOL, around $11,700, to buy 779.85 million BAKED before selling. At the time of Lookonchain’s report, the insiders had sold a small portion of their tokens and still held 76.36% of the supply. BAKED has plummeted by 58% in the last 24 hours, currently trading for $0.01260. Is The New Solana Token Launch Baked Or Burned? Crypto investors refuted the claims that the “lucky” sniper was not an insider and expressed discontent with the Solana memecoin launch. Additionally, users have called the BAKED token a scam due to an alleged lack of transparency. GUMMY investors were supposed to earn a 15% reward on BAKED tokens for staking their tokens on July 1. However, users reported they did not receive any reward after unstaking their holdings. According to Web3 Forensics, users successfully unstaked their GUMMY tokens but no investor had been able to get BAKED rewards by Monday morning. One investor considers the project’s team “held our $GUMMY hostage so we couldn’t profit off of the $BAKED launch.” Moreover, many users highlighted that GUMMY’s value has significantly decreased since they staked their holdings. Per the reports, every $1,000 staked in the token is now worth around $140. Many believe that the team behind the Solana-based tokens, including Crypto Banter’s founder Ran Neuner, used “every single investor or Community Member who trusted you.” On the official telegram group chat for the token, the team asked investors to “calm down” and “relax.” The team assured the project was not a scam and explained that none of them “got an early entry.” Moreover, the message stated that a higher price for the token meant a “better valuation for your gummy airdrop” and that the airdrop details would be announced soon.

Memecoins are in red this week as most sectors of the crypto market struggle. Dogwifhat (WIF) has not been the exception. The memecoin sensation of Q1 saw a significant price drop following the movements of a whale. Recently, an address transferred millions of WIF to a crypto exchange, which ignited speculation about who was behind the transaction.

Per the report, one of the top dogwifhat holders moved millions to the largest crypto exchange. The whale transferred 5.97 million WIF, worth around $11 million, on June 21. Additionally, the address offloaded 48 million Trump Coin (DJT), approximately $500,000. After the news, the crypto community began speculating who was behind the transfer. Some users claimed the whale was crypto trader Ansem, who was very vocal about WIF. The trader was also part of the Las Vegas Sphere project, where users donated around $700,000 to project the token’s image in the Sphere. Users on X criticized Ansem for the alleged deposit, expressing their disappointment in his “capitulation”. Some investors took the opportunity to express their discontent with the trader for “grifting and dumping on investors.” The discussion sparked an important conversation: should Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) not move their money? One user considers that Ansem, and all KOLs, are free to do what they want with their money. The user argued that KOLs are subjected to criticism regardless of their route. When people sell before you do, they are “jeet”. When KOLs sell some of their holdings or even move it around, they are “pump and dampers”. Several community members agreed and questioned if KOLs are “obligated” to hold a token until investors are happy with their profits. However, others argue that community members are “arbiters” of traders’ reputations. Dogwifhat Take A Blow, But Was It Ansem? Despite the rumors, online reports suggest the wallet is not linked to the crypto trader. After deep-diving into the address, a community member found that the address was not associated with Ansem. The post notes that the only reason it was linked to the trader was the large WIF balance and many Solana memecoins. However, the address has a record of selling their token at a loss “to FOMO into new shiny stuff.” Furthermore, the wallet seems to be linked to a now-deleted X account. At the time of writing, the trader has not acknowledged the rumors. After the reports, WIF’s price dropped from the $1.90 to the $1.80 price range. On the last day, the memecoin plunged from the $2.15 mark, representing a 13% decrease.

Crypto analyst Bluntz forecasted a bearish $1 target for the dog-themed memecoin. Ultimately, the analyst stated that a descent to the $1 support level was “inevitable” before the “next parabolic leg.” As of this writing, WIF is trading at $1.83.

Dogwifhat (WIF), the once-booming memecoin featuring a Shiba Inu sporting a stylish knitted beanie, finds itself in hot dog water. After a meteoric rise earlier this year, WIF has been on a downward spiral, trapped within a descending channel since late May. Analysts are carefully keeping tabs as the canine crypto approaches a critical support level, with its future hinging on a tug-of-war between bullish and bearish forces. Related Reading: Red Alert For Polkadot (DOT): Double-Digit Drop Sparks Investor Fears Descending The Price Ladder: A Sign Of Weakness? Technical analysis paints a worrying picture for WIF. The descending channel pattern, characterized by lower highs and lower lows, indicates sustained selling pressure. The price has plummeted a staggering 30% since the end of May, currently hovering around the crucial $2.44 mark. In the last week, WIF has lost 15% of its value, data from Coingecko shows. This level represents a make-or-break point for WIF. If the bulls – those optimistic investors hoping for a price increase – can’t defend this support line, the price could plunge further, potentially reaching a new low of $1.93. A Technical Tailspin Adding fuel to the bearish fire is the Aroon Down indicator, a technical tool that gauges the strength of a downtrend. WIF’s Aroon Down Line sits at a concerning 100%, signifying a robust downtrend with the most recent low occurring not too long ago. This suggests that selling pressure is overwhelming any potential buying activity among WIF holders. Will The Bulls Rise To The Occasion? A glimmer of hope remains for WIF devotees. If the bulls manage to hold the current support level, a price rebound towards the resistance line at $2.70 is a possibility. This would be a temporary reprieve, but it would offer a chance for the memecoin to regroup and potentially break free from the descending channel. However, breaching the support would be a devastating blow, potentially leading to a domino effect where investors lose confidence and flee the market, sending WIF into a tailspin.

Meanwhile, the current technical analysis for Dogwifhat shows a bearish sentiment, despite a bullish price prediction of a 225% increase to $7.87 by July 15, 2024. The Fear & Greed Index indicates high greed at 74, suggesting potential overvaluation. Over the past 30 days, Dogwifhat has had 30% green days with 11.82% price volatility, reflecting significant price fluctuations. The high volatility and current greed sentiment indicate potential risks, despite the optimistic forecast. Therefore, it may not be the best time to buy Dogwifhat until market conditions stabilize or additional positive indicators emerge. Featured image from Reductress, chart from TradingView
