Pump.fun, dogwifhat and Pepe plummeted as memecoins crashed amid fresh turbulence for cryptocurrencies.

Memecoins have come under sharp pressure as Bitcoin’s momentum cools following its surge to fresh highs above $117,000 last week.

The benchmark cryptocurrency has since slipped back toward $112,000, a retreat that has dampened broader market sentiment and triggered profit-taking across altcoins.

Memecoins are some of the big underperformers in the past 24 hours.

PUMP, WIF, and PEPE prices dump 10% or more

While Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Bonk are among the top losers, the downturn has been particularly acute for PUMP and WIF.

Pump.fun (PUMP) reached an all-time high of $0.01214 in July.

However, with profit taking and overall downturn, the token has fallen to lows of $0.0060 following the bearish flip around $0.0089 on Sept. 14.

With a price decline of over 16% in the past 24 hours, Pump.fun mirrors the losses of Pi Network and Conflux among the 100 largest coins by market cap.

The PUMP price is down 25% in the past week, while panic selling has increased trading volume up 24% to over $598 million.

Dogwifhat (WIF), the Solana-based meme, has fared no better.

WIF has tumbled to $0.8010, down 11% in the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, its trading volume has spiked 102% to over $256 million amid the broader altcoin weakness.

Whale sell-offs have aided bears, with the price 83% off its all-time high of $4.85.

Pepe (PEPE), the Ethereum frog-themed memecoin, also continues its slide into bearish territory.

The memecoin is consolidating near $0.0000097 after plummeting 10% over the past day.

Large sellers have pushed daily volume up by 133% to $889 million.

What’s next for memecoins?

Is the crypto market crashing a sign of more pain ahead of Uptober? Analysts say this is likely.

Bitcoin down. Altcoins down more.

Nature is healing.

In the short term, the memecoin rout is symptomatic of a larger crypto market contraction, where total capitalisation has dipped below $4 trillion amid Bitcoin and Ethereum’s price crash.

A confluence of several factors is at play as stocks also shed gains on Monday.

Headwinds impacting the risk asset markets include macroeconomic factors such as Fed policy, trade and inflation dynamics.

The upcoming data release on Friday will be key, as will be the anticipated ETF approvals in the coming weeks.

A market where BTC again rallies will open up a path for memecoins amid crypto’s cyclical outlook.

As Bitcoin attracts headlines with a massive spike to a new all-time high, tokens like Pepe (PEPE) are outpacing peers to lead memecoins higher.

The cryptocurrency market’s bullish flip has also seen Dogwifhat (WIF) and Bonk (BONK) show signs of further gains.

PEPE’s bounce and WIF, BONK’s uptick coincides with Bitcoin breaking above $118,000 and Ethereum’s spike to above $3,000.

Omni Network rose sharply while Sei traded higher as one of the top altcoins under $1.

BTC and ETH recorded huge fund inflows as prices rose.

Analysts say the gains for BTC highlights strong market sentiment and excitement.

“Bitcoin trades at $118,000 this morning, marking a fresh all-time high. The rally reflects both market excitement and a foundation of strong macro drivers beneath the surface. One key catalyst is renewed frontloading by global manufacturers. Tariff threats are driving firms to import early and draw down credit, echoing past cycles of policy uncertainty,” the analysts posted on X.

Pepe surges 15% to lead top memecoins

Pepe (PEPE), a frog-themed memecoin, has emerged as the frontrunner in the current memecoin rally, posting a 15% gain in just 24 hours.

Currently ranked among the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, PEPE’s price has spiked by more than 31% in the past week. The upside sees PEPE break out of a falling wedge pattern, a bullish technical signal that suggests another leg up.

Notably, the memecoin’s trading has surged 70% to $2.35 billion in the past 24 hours. The Pepe price reached $0.000013, about 54% off its all-time high above $0.000028.

Bulls could eye this amid upward momentum. However, profitaking risk means bears might yet revisit support levels.

Dogwifhat price breaks above $1 – a psychological level

Dogwifhat (WIF), a Solana-based memecoin, has broken above the $1 mark. Per CoinMarketCap, WIF reached highs of $1.07, surpassing the key psychological level for the first time since early June.

WIF’s price surged by 8% in the past 24 hours builds on its 20% gain over the week.

The token’s rise aligns with a spike in trading volume. Dogwifhat’s daily volume is up 39% to over $712 million amid broader crypto market optimism.

The memecoin could target higher resistance levels if buying pressure persists. However, its recent dip to $0.85 highlights it as a potential support level.

BONK price extends weekly gains to 41%

Bonk (BONK), another Solana-based memecoin, has gained an impressive 41% over the past week. The token traded to intraday highs of $0.000024 as memecoins mirrored Bitcoin’s rally.

The memecoin is eyeing gains amid the sector’s recent performance that signals possible upward movement.

As Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to drive market sentiment, BONK may look to break to the all-time highs of $0.00005916 seen in November 2024.

As Bitcoin price hits new highs, altcoins and memecoins are benefiting from the spillover effect, with PEPE, WIF, and BONK among top gains

PepeX, a new AI-powered meme coin launchpad on the Solana blockchain, has raised over $1.83 million since its presale began on 24 March.

With a capped supply of 5 billion tokens and strong emphasis on fairness and decentralisation, PepeX is positioning itself as a next-generation alternative in a rapidly evolving memecoin market.

The project arrives as interest in Solana-based memecoins such as Dogwifhat and Bonk continues to surge.

PepeX’s presale structure, featuring dynamic pricing and stage-based increases, has caught investor attention.

It offers early buyers a potential return of over 240% if it lists at its planned $0.085 price.

With the public platform set to launch in Q3 2025, all eyes are on whether PEPX can outperform rivals like Myro and rise beyond its meme status.

PepeX: Why should you invest in this?

PepeX’s presale runs for 90 days, with 50% of the 5 billion token supply allocated to early investors.

By early April, the project had raised more than $1.25 million from the sale of around 62.5 million tokens.

Stage 5 of the presale saw tokens priced at $0.0243, while Stage 6 began on 8 April at $0.0255.

Each presale stage lasts three days, with token prices increasing by roughly 5% per stage.

At this pace, the final presale stage could hit a token price of approximately $0.0823.

If the token lists on exchanges at the projected $0.085, early participants from Stage 5 stand to gain around 240% to 311%, depending on their entry point.

The platform also promises anti-sniping protections, liquidity locks, automated smart contract audits, and a fair launch model where the team holds just 5% of the total supply—an unusually low figure for meme coins.

Dogwifhat and Bonk boost Solana meme sentiment

While PepeX is still in presale, established Solana-based memecoins have been rallying. Bonk saw a 26% rise in the week ending 23 April, while Dogwifhat gained around 30%.

At the end of April, Bonk was trading near $0.0000188 with a market cap of roughly $1.49 billion.

Dogwifhat, priced around $0.616, had a market cap of approximately $620 million.

These surges were supported by a broader altcoin rally driven by Bitcoin nearing $95,000 in early March.

Both Bonk and Dogwifhat have benefited from widespread listings, active community support, and integration into Solana’s DeFi and gaming ecosystems.

This meme-led momentum on Solana has created the perfect launch window for newcomers like PepeX to capitalise on demand for high-upside tokens.

PepeX price forecast

Short-term projections suggest PepeX could reach between $0.09 and $0.14 within one to three months of launch.

Medium-term estimates place the token at $0.15 to $0.25 within six months, and potentially between $0.30 and $0.50 by 2026.

That long-term estimate would translate to gains of over 1,000% for Stage 1 presale investors.

However, analysts caution that short-term pullbacks are possible.

Some expect early investors to take profits at listing, which could push the price temporarily back toward $0.0198—just below its initial $0.02 presale level.

PepeX’s future depends on its ability to deliver a working launchpad and attract meme creators and users to its ecosystem.

With its unique combination of AI tools, tokenomics, and fair launch approach, the token is positioned to capture attention in an increasingly competitive landscape.

According to data from CoinGecko, Dogwifhat (WIF) is outperforming most top meme coins in the market over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, new Solana meme coin Solciety (SLCTY) has reached $550k in presale as interest skyrockets.

Here’s a price forecast for WIF and what that could mean for Solciety.

Dogwifhat surges as meme coins rebound

With nearly 10% gains in the period at the time of writing, WIF is outshining Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, Bonk and Floki.

Dogwifhat is also the top performing meme on Solana in the past 24 hours and its $566 million trading volume exceeds that of top meme coin DOGE.

The surge on WIF price comes as the altcoin market signaled a potential recovery as prices echoed BTC’s upside.

Analysts at market intelligence platform Santiment recently pointed to negative sentiment and Bitcoin’s low RSI as likely indicators of a fresh bounce. While WIF remains negative over the past month, bulls breaking above $2.50 could reignite interest and allow buyers to dominate the market.

WIF price is up 45% in the past week and a similar trajectory in coming weeks could see the meme coin closer to the all-time high of $4.83 reached in March.

Solciety – the new SOL meme eyeing PolitiFi dominance

Solciety is a new meme coin on Solana that’s already creating waves in the PolitiFi space.

After opening its presale on June 18, the project has quickly attracted over $550,000 from early investors eyeing a potential gem.

As the 15-stage presale picks momentum, it’s inevitable the kind of interest Solciety is garnering could see it become the next top Solana meme coin. Dubbed the “political party for degens,” Solciety enters the market as investors eye meme coin summer and as political heat intensifies ahead of US 2024 election.

What sets Solciety apart from  other PolitiFi tokens?

Constitution DAO (PEOPLE), MAGA (TRUMP) and Jeo Boden (BODEN) are currently among the top PolitiFi tokens, which have seen decent gains as investors savour the mix of politics and memes.

While parody, viral moments and satire drive these and other projects, Solciety enters the ecosystem with a novel approach likely to propel it well above the rest.

Meme Campaigner is Solciety’s meme creation tool that allows the community to leverage satire and hype to create memes based on over 200 traits. As the presale gains traction, so will the memes and Solciety’s community.

Solciety price: How high can SLCTY go?

Solciety is for everyone – not aligned with any political divide – and that means the potential to dominate the entire PolitiFi market. The fact is that meme coins are its community, and what Solciety promises suggests the next few months could be huge for its SLCTY token.

Solana’s growth trajectory, cryptocurrency adoption and PolitiFi meme coins are huge trends today and SLCTY will benefit from all.

According to CoinGecko, the meme coins market is $53 billion today, while Solana meme coins market cap is at $7.5 billion.

Meanwhile, the fast-growing PolitiFi sector is just over $1 billion. Growth for the entire market could see Solciety hit and surpass levels that WIF and other top meme coins have reached during the bull market.

A look at MAGA price shows the token is up 585x since its lows of $0.01136 in October, while PEOPLE has soared over 101x. WIF, the breakout Solana meme coin, saw a 1,450x move from $0.001555 in December.

The SLCTY token’s current price of $0.002222 in stage 4 of the presale may therefore offer an opportunity for early birds.
