The price of the popular ERC-20 meme coin FLOKI has taken a hit amidst fierce competition from Solana-based competitors.
FLOKI has nosedived 12% in the last 7 days to trade at $0.0002064, amidst a broader market pullback that has shaved the price of virtually all leading cryptocurrencies.
FLOKI’s descent is matched by a couple of other leading meme coins today.
Shiba Inu (SHIB), PEPE, and BONK all posted similar depreciation over the last seven days, according to CoinGecko.

The largest meme coin by market capitalization, Dogecoin (DOGE), managed to weather the downturn well, and only shed about 5% to trade at $0.18 at the time of writing.

FLOKI’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 37 and climbing. This indicates that the recent selloff has slowed down and traders can expect relative stability in the near term.
FLOKI may have posted some bullish price action recently.
However, it will probably never flip stalwart rivals Dogecoin and Shiba Inu any time soon.
Dogecoin has a first-mover advantage, being over ten years old already, while Shiba
