Dogwifhat ($WIF) Stages 200% Comeback—Proving Memecoins Still Have Nine Lives
After a bloodbath that would make even Bitcoin maximalists wince, Solana’s favorite dog-token mascot defies gravity with a triple-digit rebound. Here’s how the sausage gets made.
From rug pull to moon mission: Traders who bought the dip during last week’s 60% crash are now sitting pretty—assuming they didn’t paperhand at the first sign of green.
Liquidity whiplash: The recovery mirrors classic memecoin volatility, where ’fundamentals’ mean whatever degens screaming ’WAGMI’ in Telegram say they mean. Meanwhile, serious projects keep building through the noise—but who’s counting?
Bottom line: In a market where a dog wearing a hat can outpace institutional ETFs, maybe the real utility was the friends we pumped (and dumped) along the way.

BingX Volume Spikes Hint at Asia-Led $WIF Accumulation
With WIF already listed on major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, OKX, and even Robinhood, short-term targets between $2 and $3 are circulating among bullish traders.
However, technical analysts warn of strong resistance near the $1.50 level, where the price may face short-term selling pressure.

Some believe any pullback from this point is an opportunity to enter before another leg higher.
Optimism in the market has been boosted by the recent U.S.-China agreement to ease tariffs temporarily, which has reignited a risk-on sentiment among speculative traders, particularly in Asia.
Chinese traders have been piling into memecoins like DogWifHat and Dogecoin ($DOGE), signaling a renewed appetite for high-risk assets.
Singapore-based crypto exchange BingX, popular among Chinese users, has reported a 69% increase in $WIF/$USDT trading volume over the past day.

$1.60 Resistance Zone in Focus as $WIF Eyes $2 Target
Technically, $WIF has broken out of a prolonged consolidation range, building a base between $0.35 and $0.45 with resistance near $0.60.
A breakout above a descending trendline, drawn from January’s highs, triggered the current rally.
The price chart now shows a textbook accumulation breakout pattern. Momentum indicators, including the MACD, continue to favor the bulls.
The MACD line is accelerating above the signal line, with an expanding green histogram, a strong sign of upward momentum with no signs of bearish divergence.
$WIF is currently trading within a key resistance zone between $1.30 and $1.60, a range that previously acted as a supply zone earlier this year.
The shaded purple arc suggests a potential area of short-term exhaustion or consolidation before any further MOVE higher.

If it breaks above $1.60, the next significant target lies at the psychological $2.00 level.
In the event of a retracement, $0.90, the prior breakout zone, is likely to offer immediate support, with stronger support at $0.60.
