When the market slows, allocating part of your portfolio to top meme coins can be a smart move. These tokens often fall harder than traditional assets—but they also tend to rebound faster when sentiment shifts.
Their volatility means meme coins frequently become undervalued during dips, offering strong upside as momentum returns.
We’re seeing that now. In the past 24 hours, the overall crypto market fell 2% to $2.83 trillion, while meme coins bucked the trend, rising 2% to $51.8 billion.
With a potential rebound on the horizon, here are three meme coins worth watching as confidence begins to return.
Pepe ($PEPE) – The Iconic Meme Coin Holds Its Ground
Originating from the widely recognized Pepe the Frog character in Matt Furie’s Boy’s Club comics, Pepe ($PEPE) has evolved from an internet phenomenon into a formidable cryptocurrency.
Initially associated with the phrase “feels good, man,” Pepe even played a role in the 2019 Hong Kong protests before transitioning into the blockchain space.
Since its launch in April 2023, $PEPE has ignited a surge of similar projects, including Pepe Coin and the AI-powered MIND of Pepe.
Despite this growing competition, $PEPE continues to dominate, boasting a market capitalization exceeding $3 billion.
In the past 24 hours, $PEPE has dipped 1.6% to trade at $0.0000074 as of this writing. However, after enduring a three-month decline, the token may now be showing signs of recovery, having bounced back from its March 11 low of $0.00000561.
Currently hovering near a crucial support level at $0.00001, which will give it a solid foothold on its way back to recapturing its former all-time high of $0.00002803, posted last December.
$PEPE’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 49 and falling, signaling a sell-off that is likely to discount the asset further by evening UTC.
As anticipation builds over potential regulatory developments under the new U.S. administration, meme coins like $PEPE are gaining traction.
With improving market sentiment and a fresh wave of investor enthusiasm, this weekend could mark the beginning of a broader rally for these high-risk, high-reward assets.
MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – AI-Driven Innovation Captivates Investors
MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is redefining the meme coin ecosystem by incorporating artificial intelligence to offer real-time, data-driven insights for traders.
This platform leverages AI to provide predictive analytics, strategic guidance, and market intelligence, giving investors a competitive edge in the notoriously volatile meme coin sector.
With a strong focus on community engagement, $MIND has built an active presence on X and Telegram.
The project has gained significant traction, securing $500,000 within its initial 24 hours and surpassing $7.8 million in presale contributions.
Offering staking rewards as high as 289% APY, MIND of Pepe is positioning itself as a leader in AI-integrated meme coins.
Investors are encouraged to stay connected through official channels on X and Telegram.
Once the presale concludes, the MIND of Pepe AI Agent will become fully functional across these networks, gathering analytical data, tracking market trends, and delivering exclusive insights to $MIND holders.
Shiba Inu ($SHIB) – The Number One Contender Among Meme Coins
Launched in August 2020 on the Ethereum blockchain, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) followed Dogecoin ($DOGE) by nearly seven years but has quickly ascended to a formidable market position, boasting a capitalization of $7.4 billion.
This makes Shiba Inu the second-largest meme coin by market value, trailing only Dogecoin, which commands over $25.6 billion of the sector.
Recognizing the importance of long-term viability, Shiba Inu’s development team has focused on enhancing its utility.
The project now incorporates advanced privacy features and a proprietary Layer-2 scaling solution, Shibarium, which significantly improves transaction speeds and reduces fees—enhancing processes such as token swaps and smart contract functions.
Recently, Shiba Inu’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) briefly touched 70 before bouncing back down to 30 and rising again in the last 24 hours. It now sits at 44 and rising, indicating the market is pricing it well.
Currently priced at $0.00001235, Shiba Inu is on track to reach its projected 2025 target of $0.000013 in the near future.
With the year still in its early stages and expectations high for the U.S. administration to introduce a regulatory framework, Shiba Inu continues to exceed market expectations while retaining substantial growth potential.
