The meme coin market is experiencing a strong comeback, with total market capitalization climbing 12.63% over the last 24 hours to reach $53.95 billion. DogWifHat ($WIF) is leading this resurgence, having surged over 25% in the same timeframe. $WIF Plummeted Post-Coinbase High But Is Now Climbing Back Launched in November 2023, DogWifHat ($WIF) built its identity around meme culture, featuring a Shiba Inu wearing a pink knitted hat. It held the position of the third-largest meme coin by market cap, behind Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, for much of 2024. Despite its meteoric rise, $WIF has since fallen 88.49% from its all-time high of $4.85, reached shortly after a Coinbase listing in December. It now ranks eighth among meme coins by market cap.

Analysts attributed the downturn to post-hype fatigue, profit-taking, and broader market liquidation, including the fallout from the Trump meme coin crash in January, which drained billions in liquidity. $WIF Influencers Under Fire Despite Volume and Open Interest Spike DogWifHat ($WIF) also faced criticism after prominent X (formerly Twitter) influencer Ansem, a well-known Solana and $WIF bull, predicted a $10 price target by Christmas 2024, even suggesting a speculative peak of $100. buying $WIF $2.75-$3.0 $10 by Christmas $100 by top of the market pic.twitter.com/aG5OfoanQO — Ansem (@blknoiz06) November 12, 2024 As of November 2024, the memecoin traded at around $2.75–$3. Contrary to Ansem’s prediction, $WIF nosedived to a low of $0.245 in Q1 2025, only beginning to recover in April. Still, the community continues showing interest, with renewed activity from spot and derivative traders. According to CoinGlass, $WIF’s 24-hour trading volume has surged by 85.38%, now exceeding $1 billion. $WIF Open Interest and Trading Volume Surges in the last 24H/ Source: CoinGlass Meanwhile, open interest has jumped by 30%, indicating a fresh wave of derivative speculation and positioning. Technical Setup: $WIF Bullish Breakout Validates Elliott Wave Structure In the 4-hour timeframe, $WIF/$USDT has broken out of a corrective structure, forming a textbook 5-wave Elliott pattern, a classic indication of buyer dominance. The Wave (5) completed an impulsive structure around the $0.50 level, after which the price dipped slightly before being met with strong buying pressure. $ WIF 4H chart shows a 5-wave Elliott pattern/ Source: TradingView This resulted in a bullish engulfing pattern, a strong reversal supported by high volume, implying that market participants are confident in continuing the uptrend. From a structural standpoint, the previous corrective wave (labeled as (2)) has now clearly acted as a launchpad, supporting the ongoing bullish breakout. The RSI Divergence Indicator (14) is currently at 83.24, placing the market in an overbought zone, typically a precursor to a short-term consolidation. Interestingly, a previous bearish divergence pattern was invalidated as the price powered higher, reinforcing bullish momentum.
