Popular Solana meme coin DogWifHat ($WIF) is recovering today after plunging below the crucial $2 psychological support level yesterday.
The token bottomed at $1.93 yesterday evening UTC before rising to its current level of $2.04. Today’s price reflects a 24-hour depreciation of 3.6%, and a seven-day drop of around 22.6%.
Of the five largest canine-themed meme coins, DogWifHat was the only one to post overnight losses. By contrast, market leader and original meme coin Dogecoin ($DOGE) grew 3% over the last 24 hours, but fell 11% over the last seven days.
The other popular dog coins—Shiba Inu ($SHIB), Bonk ($BONK), and Floki ($FLOKI)—all rose in tandem with Dogecoin overnight, although all of them posted heavier seven-day losses than the OG meme coin DOGE.
Floki crashed hardest, falling a staggering 29% over the week to hit $0.0001718 as of this writing.
Crypto market leader Bitcoin ($BTC), which generally sets the tone for the rest of the market, remains at roughly the same price it was 24 hours ago: $65,314. This represents a 3.4% fall over the week.
