Meme Coins Propel Crypto Market Recovery, Bitcoin Follows Suit
Meme coins have taken center stage in a notable recovery of the crypto market, with Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE), Dogwifhat (WIF), and Bonk (BONK) demonstrating significant price rebounds after experiencing recent downturns that caused over $1 billion in market liquidation.
Dogecoin, the most prominent meme coin, saw a dip on Monday when its price dropped to $0.0856. However, it has since bounced back impressively to approximately $0.1054, marking an 18% increase from its low point.
In a similar fashion, Shiba Inu also experienced a decline this week, hitting $0.00001087 before rebounding by around 30% to $0.000001416 at the time of writing.
Pepe, another popular meme coin, crashed to $0.0000058 on August 5 but has since recovered by about 48% to reach $0.00000863 today. Solana-based meme coins WIF and Bonk have followed similar patterns.
WIF saw a recovery from $1.07 on Monday to around $1.957 today, representing an impressive 82% growth. Likewise, Bonk bounced back from a recent dip of $0.00001554 to $0.00002184, experiencing a substantial 40% increase.
The volatility of meme coins is highlighted by these price movements, which attract investors seeking substantial returns. This surge has pushed the total meme coin market cap above $39.94 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $4.95 billion.
Despite the gains in the past 24 hours, these meme coins still reflect significant losses compared to their value a week ago.
However, the market recovery extends beyond meme coins alone. Bitcoin and major altcoins have also rebounded. Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline earlier this week, dropping to a low of $49,000, along with Ethereum. However, as of now, Bitcoin and Ethereum trade at $60,816 and $2,662, respectively.
Meanwhile, well-known cryptocurrency critic Peter Schiff recently suggested that the recent rise in Bitcoin might be short-lived, likely fueled by political promises from Donald Trump’s camp. Consequently, Schiff advised investors to sell now and capitalize on the recent gains.
