Dogwifhat Sees Significant Price Increase in One Day

Dogwifhat Experiences Considerable Price Surge in Single Day

The Solana-based memecoin project Dogwifhat (WIF) witnessed a notable 13% surge in its value over the course of a single day, reaching a peak of $1.77 on August 6th. This marks part of a recovery following a 63% decline from its peak of $2.89 two weeks prior. Data from TradingView indicates that WIF ascended from $1.07 on August 6th to a daily high of $1.77 on August 7th, representing a 66% increase.

Current Status of WIF

In contrast, data from CoinMarketCap reveals that the majority of the largest cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization experienced value loss on August 7th, while the memecoin's overall market capitalization rose by 5.3%.

Market Position of Dogwifhat

Dogwifhat maintains its position as the fourth largest memecoin by market cap, falling behind Pepe, which boasts a market cap of $3.13 billion, approximately double that of Dogwifhat. Meanwhile, analyst Kyledoops observed that WIF was trading at $1.74 and, despite facing resistance during its recovery, remains a strong choice within the Solana ecosystem:

"Although a slight pullback is possible with the EMA Ribbon at the top, WIF remains the best choice on Solana."

Technical Analysis

From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin's price is exhibiting a V-shaped recovery pattern on the daily chart, as evidenced by the appearance of two green engulfing candles. This suggests that bulls have assumed control of the price action. The $1.50 level provides immediate support for the memecoin. The relative strength index increased from 27 to 38 between August 5th and August 8th, indicating a resurgence of buyer sentiment.

Resistance and Potential Targets

As a result, increased buying could encounter resistance at the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) of $2.13 and the 100-day EMA of $2.34. At a higher level, WIF's price may reach the neckline of the dominant chart pattern at $2.90, signifying an 80% gain from its current value.

Demand for WIF

Demand for long positions on WIF has been growing, as evidenced by the perpetual funding rate. Data from Coinglass shows that WIF's perpetual funding rate has turned positive after being negative following the market-wide sell-off on August 5th. A positive funding rate indicates that buyers are seeking more leverage, while a negative rate implies that sellers are demanding additional leverage.

It's important to note that the current eight-hour rate of 0.0066% corresponds to a cost of 0.13% over a seven-day period, which is relatively insignificant for investors holding futures positions. In cases of excessive optimism, the rate can rise to over 1% weekly in the future.
