Memecoin popularity remains high, WIF leads with a 17% increase and a surge in trading volume

2026-01-05 04:20:11

【Crypto World】The popularity of Memecoin has not cooled down despite the New Year. The entire sector’s market cap has increased by 5.72%, now standing at $47.75 billion. Among them, Dogwifhat (WIF) performed the most eye-catching, with a single-day increase of over 17%, and trading volume doubled, soaring to a daily trading scale of $450 million.

In the major memecoin market, Pepe (PEPE) and Bonk (BONK) have become the main characters of this round of market. PEPE rose 17%, BONK followed closely with a 14% increase, and the two brothers have secured the top positions on the leaderboard. Another veteran player, Dogecoin (DOGE), experienced a relatively mild increase, but also turned red by nearly 2%.

Interestingly, Shiba Inu (SHIB) whales’ wallets are continuously sweeping up, and this accumulation momentum has driven SHIB to surge over 8%. It seems that big investors still have confidence in this sector.

WIF-8.42%

PEPE-1.41%

BONK-5.09%

DOGE-2.93%

WIF's recent surge is quite intense, soaring 17% directly... trading volume doubled, this is a big move. PEPE and BONK are really awesome, feeling like they’re moving up together. DOGE remains the steady type, with a small increase but never dropping the ball. Memecoin is a track that never calms down; following the trends and making moves can yield good returns.

WIF has directly taken off this time, 17% is just the appetizer, judging by the doubling of trading volume, the meme track is alive again. PEPE and BONK are really amazing, these two together are surging, it feels like the whole market is getting excited. DOGE's increase is so sluggish, it really feels a bit outdated.

WIF this wave is really a dead end, it surged by 17% directly... The trading volume doubled, what the hell, is someone throwing money? PEPE and BONK are rising together, is this a collective pump? DOGE is still lying flat, hilarious, old dog is still old dog. Who bets that this round of memecoin can last until the Spring Festival? Can WIF break $2... feels like you have to throw in money to make it happen. BONK is growing at a pretty crazy speed, are there too many followers? Such a sharp increase, be careful when you exit, everyone. Another memecoin frenzy, when will it ever calm down... The market is so crazy, it feels like something is going to happen.

WIF is taking off this wave, with a 450 million JPY trading volume directly soaring. The entire memecoin track is still celebrating. PEPE and BONK are rising so strongly together, are they about to surge collectively? DOGE's 2% increase is a bit disappointing; old coins are still old coins.

WIF this wave is really a dead end, doubling trading volume is no joke PEPE and BONK take off together, meme still depends on these two How is DOGE mixing again? Still need new coins to succeed 47.7 billion market cap... this track really burns money WIF's 17% increase really wasn't a free ride, those who bought in at night are all making profits

WIF this wave is really fierce, 17% still doubling trading volume, quite intense... Looks like meme still has vitality PEPE and BONK rise together, while Dogecoin becomes more of a background, interesting I just want to know how long this wave can last, don’t want to return to the starting point again... Oh my, this trading volume, feels like I’m about to get cut again When meme coins go crazy, there's really no humanity, gotta go all in... Why is WIF so strong, honestly I don’t quite understand Wait, is this wave the bottoming out? Or the top escaping? Why is DOGE so weak, or is this round of meme not doing well? Turns out old coins can’t run anymore, what does that mean... really absurd

WIF's recent launch window is really aggressive, the daily RSI is already approaching the overbought zone, be careful of a gravity pullback coming unexpectedly. PEPE and BONK together broke above the upper Bollinger Band, this rhythm... need to quickly calculate the escape velocity, don't get caught in the atmosphere. Trading volume doubled, just double it, see if it can break through the neckline, otherwise it's just a false breakout routine. The memecoin track is on the rise, is it genuine gold and silver or just another round of pump and dump? Keep an eye on liquidity. DOGE only rose 2%, this veteran seems to be falling behind, the trajectory is stable but the momentum is clearly lacking.

WIF is rallying quite aggressively this time, doubling the volume with a 17% increase. The pace is a bit fierce. PEPE and BONK are rising together, it seems the meme army has no intention of calming down this year. DOGE's gains are underwhelming; this old coin king is falling behind a bit. The entire sector has only increased by 5.72%, indicating that funds are still focusing on the top projects, and retail investors are about to get cut again. Wait, why isn't Shiba Inu finished...

WIF this wave is going crazy, 17% and trading volume doubled. This rhythm is really a bit overwhelming. PEPE and BONK are rising together, are the brothers about to take off? DOGE only increased by 2%, a bit disappointing... Looks like the old king coins can't withstand the youthful momentum. Memecoin is just like this, one moment the sky, the next the ground. I think I'll observe first. Is this a bottom-fishing or an exit? Really hard to tell. It feels a bit cautious, after all, memecoin risks are not small.
