Dogwifhat leads memecoin rally but holder growth slows
The memecoin market cap is currently up by 6.8% in the past 24 hours, crossing above $51 billion and reclaiming pre-August crash levels. Data from CoinGecko highlights that Dogwifhat remains the fourth-largest memecoin in the industry.
While OG meme tokens like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu remain on top in terms of market cap, it was observed that Solana-based memecoins dominated the 30-day return with POPCAT, WIF demonstrating 52.9% and 24.2% monthly return on investment (ROI) respectively.

Yet, despite being one of the top performers, WIF has not witnessed an influx of new holders in the market.

The latest data from holderscan.com indicates that only 2,322 new WIF holders, i.e. 1.29%, have been added over the past seven days. The total number of holders remains at 182,877, but the top 50 holders represent almost 54.84% of the supply.

A slow holder trend for WIF infers that the futures market is potentially driving the current rally. As reported by Cointelegraph, open interest witnessed a 30% spike to $233 million at the beginning of the week, when WIF breached the $2 range.
Will renewed WIF euphoria push the price to $3?
WIF’s current price rally shows similarities to the memecoin euphoria from early 2024. Q1 rally was strongly represented by WIF 8,000% ROI in less than 3 months, which led to the rise of other memecoins such as POPCAT, BRETT, MEW, etc.
Now, a similar sentiment is brewing as several analysts are flipping bullish. Henrik Zeberg, Head Macro Economist at Swissblock, indicates that WIF is currently “breaking out of a long ABCDE-consolidation” and presents parabolic price targets by Nov. 11, 2024.

Another independent trader, Dentoshi, mentions the immediate price target for WIF at a resistance of $3.
In an X post, the trader explains that WIF has completed a deep retrace from the 0.618-0.707 Fibonacci retracement lines. While the golden zone, or reversal range, lies between 0.5 and 0.618, Dentoshi terms this area the “golden pocket hold.”

The trader highlights that a move above from the golden pocket indicates a trend reversal, considering the previous top at $4.83 is not the trend high. After crossing $2, Dentoshi states,
“Oh, hello there, send it to $3 (and higher).”
Meanwhile, on the one-day chart, WIF has a couple of bullish confirmations. The price broke above a falling wedge pattern and closed strong above key resistance at $1.95. As illustrated below, the resistance at $1.95 also coincides with the 0.618 level, which can act as a point of support going forward.

The immediate price target for WIF currently lies at $2.85-$3.00, with a key reclaim coming at $2.45-$2.50. At this point, WIF may face a strong pullback into support of $2 or continue to retest $3 in the next few days.
