August 2025 Crypto Rollercoaster: M, CFX, BONK, and FARTCOIN Battle for Dominance

Crypto markets never sleep—this week’s wild ride saw M, CFX, BONK, and yes, even FARTCOIN, jostling for supremacy. Here’s who soared and who faceplanted.

M’s Meteoric Rise: Defying bearish whispers, M carved a 30% weekly gain—proof that even in a skeptical market, fundamentals (or hype) still matter.

CFX’s Comeback Kid Act: After months of sideways action, CFX woke up with a 22% surge. Traders called it ‘overdue,’ skeptics called it ‘pump before the dump.’

BONK’s Reality Check: The meme coin darling bled 15%, reminding everyone that ‘community vibes’ don’t pay the bills—unless you’re a VC cashing out.

FARTCOIN’s Flatulence: Down 40% and smelling worse, this ‘utility token’ proved once again that crypto’s appetite for nonsense remains… impressively robust.

Closing Thought: While TradFi bros fret over ‘risk management,’ crypto’s weekly circus delivers more drama than a Netflix binge—with better ROI potential (and worse jokes).

Key Takeaways

MemeCore [M], Four [FORM], and CONFLUX [CFX] led the week with sharp price surges. In contrast, Fartcoin [FARTCOIN], Bonk [BONK], and Virtuals Protocol [VIRTUAL] saw significant decline.

This week in crypto saw a sharp market pullback. 

Bitcoin [BTC] dipped below $113,700 and ethereum [ETH] slipped over 5%, driven by weak U.S. jobs data and rising recession fears.

Meanwhile, ETFs saw major outflows, ending a strong inflow streak. In policy, the U.S. unveiled a 160-page crypto report.

And yet, the standout volatility came from the memecoin sector, underscoring its high-beta, speculative character.

Weekly winners

Memecore [M] — Memecoin blockchain posted a sharp bullish reversal 

MemeCore [M] dominated the charts this week with a clean 35%+ MOVE off its $0.32 base. In fact, it snapped a two-week bleed where it dumped over 50% from its $0.07 ICO level.

The week kicked off with a textbook retest of the $0.30 support after a brutal 29% drawdown the week prior. 

From there, bulls stepped in hard. M saw a 42% intraday rip on the 2nd of August that sent it smashing through the $0.45 resistance. Despite the surge, RSI stayed below overheated territory.

But things cooled quickly NEAR $0.70.

That level acted like a supply wall, triggering sell pressure and trimming gains into the weekly close.

Still, M made back nearly all of its recent losses and reclaimed bullish structure, definitely one to watch if it consolidates above $0.45.

Four [FORM] — Community-governed asset repeated a key pattern

Four [FORM] wrapped the week as the second-highest gainer, notching a clean 20% move and printing a high wick up to $4. 

While it’s since pulled back to around $3.70, it’s still holding above the key $3.60 level which is a spot that acted as stiff resistance for the past two weeks.

This kind of S/R flip suggests solid bid support underneath. Bulls are clearly defending that level, and if this zone continues to hold, it could set the stage for a proper breakout setup. 

Technically speaking, if FORM can build acceptance above $3.80 on strong volume, it opens the door for a breakout toward new local high, making it the altcoin to monitor going into next week.

Conflux [CFX] —  Public Layer-1 blockchain attracted strong bid support

Conflux [CFX] is gaining ground fast, clocking a 15% weekly move off its $0.18 open, landing it back in the top gainers for the second week straight.

Interestingly, CFX was last week’s breakout leader but ended up closing down nearly 15% at $0.15, as spot demand didn’t follow through and longs got wiped out hard.

This week looks stronger. The daily chart is flashing solid demand, with CFX breaking the $0.20 resistance at press time. But bulls still need a clean break above the $0.25 mark to lock in the breakout.

Until then, it’s at a make-or-break level. Keep an eye — CFX is coiling at a key inflection zone.

Other notable winners

Outside the majors, altcoin rockets stole the spotlight this week.

TROLL [TROLL] led the charge with a staggering 228% rally, fueling an explosive memecoin breakout. League of Kingdoms [LOKA] followed with a 127% gain, while Pepe Bundle [PUNDLE] surged 73%, respectively.

Weekly losers

Fartcoin [FARTCOIN] —  Memecoin extended its weekly decline

Fartcoin [FARTCOIN] printed its worst weekly close since March. It has slipped 29% off its $1.30 open and ended the week around $0.93. That makes it the biggest loser on the board.

In fact, the move nuked all the progress it had made clawing out of its months-long range. The $1.60 rejection level from late May is now looking like a firm ceiling.

To make matters worse, Fartcoin flipped its weekly MACD bearish for the first time, signaling that downside momentum could linger heading into next week.

In that case, a retest of the $0.75 demand zone is back on the radar. That level acted as a springboard in the June–July run, lining up with a bullish MACD flip back then.

This time, though, the setup looks weaker.

With MACD crossing bearish and momentum fading, a breakdown below $0.75 wouldn’t be a shock. And as it stands, a clean bounce from here feels unlikely unless fresh bids show up fast.

Bonk [BONK] — Meme asset posted its worst weekly close of the quarter

Bonk [BONK] pulled back 24.6% this week from its $0.000033 open, making it the second-biggest loser. 

After a strong Q2 run, this is BONK’s first red weekly candle, snapping a five-week streak of higher highs that finally saw it break through the $0.000040 mark.

Technically, the structure isn’t broken. 

The broader market flipping risk-off dragged BONK with it, but the trend still holds for now. The last three daily candles are showing signs of range-building around the $0.000025 level.

If this base holds and flows return, BONK might be setting up for a re-entry, especially if we see volume pick up near that support.

Virtuals Protocol [VIRTUAL] — Digital layer failed to hold key support 

Virtuals Protocol [VIRTUAL] wrapped the week with a rough 24% drop from its $1.60 open, landing it among the top weekly losers. 

While it’s seen sharp pullbacks before, this one hit harder. It broke clean below the $1.70-$2.00 range it had been holding for weeks.

The breakdown dragged VIRTUAL all the way to $1.12 which flips the chart structure decisively bearish. This move invalidates the prior range and confirms sellers are in control.

Even though it saw a brief 4.54% intraday pop, price is struggling to get traction above the $1.20 zone. Without clear demand, that bounce looks more like relief than any kind of trend reversal.

Other notable losers

In the broader market, downside volatility hit hard.

Radix [XRD] led the losers with a 38% drop, followed by Graphite Protocol [GP], down 36.7%, and Tokenize Xchange [TKZ], which slipped 36.6% as momentum sharply cooled.

Conclusion

This week was a rollercoaster. Big pumps, sharp dips, and nonstop action. As always, stay sharp, do your own research, and trade smart.
