Solana Layer-1’s emerging memecoin Dogwifhat (WIF) has been caught up in the epicenter of the bullish wave since its inception on December 13, 2023. Starting from a humble $0.001555, WIF’s strong price movement since has helped Dogwifhat achieve a new record of $4.83 on March 31, 2024.

Dogwifhat in Consolidation After Claiming Bronze

Closing the most successful month for the memecoin department at just under $5, WIF retraced 19.5% from this price milestone to trade at $3.87 at the time of this publication. Trading in a consolidation phase, WIF now occupies the 35th spot by global market cap, ensuing a massive market cap of $3,863,418,752, according to CoinGecko.

The phased consolidation of Dogwifhat at this price range is also visible on the Spot markets on-chain data, as bids and pending sells for the coin are balanced at approximately $13 million each. The capped supply of 998,926,392 adds to the rising demand for WIF, which is the only memecoin to trade above $3.

The Most Expensive Canine Coin Demystified

WIF emerged as the top-performing altcoin year-to-date (YTD), fetching an increase of 249,611% since December’s inception. Dogwifhat’s status as a top player in the memecurrency department became clear as WIF jumped past Pepe (PEPE) and Bonk (BONK).

Crypto analysts are measuring WIF’s chances of going above and beyond $5, as portrayed in the graphic by crypto analyst Asad. According to him, WIF has “flipped the wick” at $4 while growing to market prominence. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is displayed as the next target, reaching $15.40.

By now flipping Dogecoin (DOGE), WIF’s price could aim for $26.30. However, not all crypto traders believe Dogwifhat’s run will continue. In derivatives markets, WIF encompasses a $1.80 billion volume with a long versus short ratio of 0.9775, according to on-chain data by CoinGlass. Binance users are bullish with a 2.3098 long versus short ratio.
