Memecoin

According to recent market commentary, several analysts are spotlighting low-cap meme coins such as Bitcoin Hyper, Maxi Doge, Mubarak and Fartcoin as candidates for substantial upside. While one trader reportedly turned $85 into $146,600 and another flipped $19 into $117,000, commentators argue that new meme tokens can more realistically yield 5x–10x returns. These projects range from presale tokens like Bitcoin Hyper and Maxi Doge to established coins like Mubarak and Fartcoin, which some expect could stage significant rebounds from current valuations.

CoinGecko reported 11.6 million cryptocurrency tokens failed in 2025, representing 86.3% of all failures since 2021. Q4 2025 alone saw 7.7 million collapses after the October 10 deleveraging wiped out $19 billion in leveraged positions. Overall, 53.2% of GeckoTerminal listings have gone defunct across the period, with meme coins bearing most of the damage.

On January 11, Shiba Inu (SHIB) slipped 0.31% from the prior day and traded around $0.00000860. Intraday pressure is testing local support near $0.00000862, with a possible move toward $0.00000850 if that level fails. A daily close below $0.00000850 could open a test of $0.0000080, while persistent weakness may put $0.00000750–$0.0000080 in view by month end.

TRUMP memecoin has remained in a descending channel since peaking around $9.5 two months ago, with price recently hovering near $5.4. On-chain and trading data show large holders have stopped accumulating, with one whale selling 437k TRUMP worth $2.35 million on Binance at a loss of about $2.35 million. Technical indicators highlight persistent selling pressure, and analysts outline key EMA levels around $5.2–$5.5 as crucial for either further downside or a trend reversal.

Smart money traders are piling back into meme tokens, with Solana-based White Whale turning a $366 buy into roughly $1.5 million for one early participant.

Bitcoin is trading near $90,635 while ETF products recorded $343.8M in net outflows on Jan. 9, and the market's Fear and Greed index sits at 40 with volatility compressing.

A confirmed break above the upper boundary may open a path toward the $93,000–$94,800 region, while failure of the ascending trendline could expose downside toward $87,900.
