dogwifhat Price Puts 25% Downside Risk
The WIF token in the past 24 hours has witnessed a massive crash of 9.85%. Currently, it is trading at $1.86.
The weekly chart reveals a pullback of 11.79% this week. However, the meme coin maintains a sideways shift, ranging between the $1.39 support level and the overhead ceiling at $3.6442.
While the short-term correction hints at a potential pullback to the $1.39, the market crash warns of a nearly 25% downside risk.
Support Trendline Holds Popcat
Over the past 24 hours, the Solana-based meme coin Popcat has fallen by 16.54%. Currently, it is trading at $0.66, with a market cap of $665 million.
In the daily chart, the declining trend has now formed its 5th consecutive bearish candle and is testing a long-coming support trendline. Under the influence of a short-term resistance level, the Popcat meme coin is standing at a crossroads.
However, the bullish divergence in the RSI line hints at a potential bullish reversal. Considering the reversal rally manages to surpass the short-term local resistance, the upside price target stands at the $1 psychological mark followed by $1.52 and $2.10.
Meme Coin Revival?
Despite the ongoing crypto market crash, a whale’s significant buying spree signals confidence in the meme coin market. With over $25 million spent across WIF, POPCAT, FWOG, and MICHI tokens, the whale appears to be capitalizing on discounted prices.
While WIF and POPCAT face sharp declines, technical indicators like bullish RSI divergence in Popcat hint at potential recovery targets. However, the broader market’s volatility keeps downside risks high, making these purchases a bold move in a turbulent market.
