Week Ahead: Meme coins surge as BTC rally continues
The last few weeks have been nothing short of shocking, with meme coins taking over the 2024 bull run. Here are the year-to-date returns of some popular meme coins.
- Dogwifhat (WIF): 6,843%
- Pepe (PEPE): 348%
- Turbo (TURBO): 190%
- Bonk (BONK): 134%
- Shiba Inu (SHIB): 110%
- Dogecoin (DOGE): 73%
- Wen (WEN): 72%
Dogwifhat (WIF) has soared 6,843% in the last 63 days. It is unlikely to stop here without a major crash in Bitcoin price. Additionally, speculation in the community is that spot trading on WIF could be listed on tier-1 exchanges.

Meme coins might seem like they’ve rallied a lot, but they’re nowhere close to forming a top yet. As an example, between March 2020 and May 2021, Dogecoin price rallied 65,122% in just 420 days.
Bitcoin price sits comfortably above key levels
Bitcoin price ended the previous week after a 22% increase. This development marks a 310% rally from the bottom of $15,479. Furthermore, the recent move seems to be a step in cementing BTC’s position above $60,000. With nearly 10% away from the all-time high of $69,138, investors are waiting with bated breath for BTC to overcome the current ATH and set up a new one.
