The presence of Dogecoin paved the way for the rise of meme coins, followed by SHIB and other similar tokens. In mid-2023, the emergence of PEPE signaled the beginning of a new meme coin frenzy. However, as we enter 2024, the Solana network has shifted the dynamics. One standout project during this period is WIF, which has solidified its position among the top five meme coins, even briefly overtaking PEPE to claim the third spot. Today, analysts hold diverse views on WIF.
WIF and Analyst Opinions
While analysts’ insights continue to carry significant weight in the market, as of this writing, WIF, currently ranked fourth among meme coins, has elicited mixed reactions. Previously, the meme coin surged to $4.85, and its future trajectory remains a topic of interest. First, it is worth considering the remarks made by Altcoin Sherpa regarding X. Altcoin Sherpa, a well-known market analyst, has sparked some unease with his comments. Highlighting the substantial impact of BTC price fluctuations on WIF and the broader market, the analyst noted:
“Don’t expect coins like WIF to surge significantly anytime soon; as long as BTC remains stable, I foresee a continued decline. In my view, this isn’t an ideal point for long-term leverage. I prefer dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and scaling in only when you’re confident this coin will lead later on.” Following Sherpa, another market analyst, TheoTrader, offered a more optimistic outlook on X.
TheoTrader’s Comment: “While the rest of the market is bleeding, $WIF is holding strong here. A breakout could trigger a solid rebound. This is my perspective.”
What is WIF worth?
On the day Bitcoin reached $56,828.91, WIF’s price rose to $1.6. Aside from today’s gain, the past 7 days have shown slight price increases. However, WIF is still 70% below its all-time high (ATH). Following recent price fluctuations, WIF’s market capitalization has stabilized at $1.5 billion, while its 24-hour trading volume has dropped 35% to just $170 million, indicating waning investor interest.
