Dogwifhat (WIF) Surges 10.4% Amid Whale Frenzy, New ATH Coming Soon?

Recent Market Pump Fuels Surge in Memecoin Sector

The recent market pump has witnessed a surge in multiple sectors within the cryptocurrency market. Driven by the return of Roaring Kitty, a portion of the memecoin sector has experienced remarkable gains over the past week, with tokens such as Pepe (PEPE), Popcat (POPCAT), and Dogwifhat (WIF) leading the charge.

Whales Load Up on Dogwifhat Amidst Price Fluctuations

Dogwifhat's price soared following Roaring Kitty's comeback, reaching $3.25 and prompting whales to accumulate the token. However, subsequent price fluctuations have led some large investors to sell WIF at a loss.

After WIF's weekend price drop, a whale sold 1.7 million tokens at a loss to acquire BONK and the Donald Trump-inspired memecoin TREMP. The address had initially purchased WIF at $2.94 in March and sold it on Sunday at an average of $2.57.

Despite the price decline, other large-scale investors viewed it as an opportunity. According to Lookonchain, a whale created a new wallet to buy Dogfight. On Monday, the wallet withdrew 1.83 million USDC from Coinbase for the purchase. At the time of reporting, the investor had spent 606,000 USDC to acquire 227,896 WIF at $2.66. The wallet had 1.22 million USDC remaining to continue its buying spree.

Hours later, the whale allocated an additional 400,000 USDC to purchase 145,000 more tokens. At the time of writing, the address holds a total WIF balance of 472,614, valued at approximately $1.28 million.

Similarly, another whale established a new wallet to acquire Dogwifhat. Reports indicate that this whale utilized SOL to purchase 1 million WIF, worth around $2.53 million, on Sunday. Since then, the address has increased its holdings, currently possessing 1.39 million WIF, valued at $3.8 million.

WIF Poised for a New ATH This Month?

The recent whale activity has seemingly fueled a price surge, with WIF rising above $2.7 and hovering between $2.7 and $2.73 in the subsequent hours. This represents a 10.4% increase over the past 24 hours.

Despite the recent performance, the token still exhibits negative returns over longer timeframes. WIF's price has declined by 8.3% and 14.8% in the weekly and bi-weekly timeframes, respectively. Additionally, its daily trading volume has experienced a significant 21.6% decrease over the past 24 hours.

Nevertheless, market observers believe that the memecoin sensation of this cycle is still in its prime. Crypto trader Scient has identified a bullish pennant pattern on WIF's chart.

According to Scient, the token is currently consolidating within the pattern. The token's performance has displayed "another bullish sign indicating that this consolidation is ending soon" after forming a higher high followed by a lower high.

Ansem, a renowned trader and figure in the crypto community, has also suggested that WIF may be preparing for new highs.

Ansem believes that Dogfight could reach a new all-time high (ATH) alongside Solana (SOL) by the end of the month. This breakout would conclude "a 3-month period of bullish consolidation after the last leg up," aligning "with BTC's bullishness."
