This Week in Meme Coins: Double-Digit Losses for PNUT, GOAT, but Not BONK

In this weekly analysis of meme coins, BeInCrypto observed that these tokens experienced mixed results. While some tokens saw gains, others grappled with significant losses.

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) and AI-created Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) were among the week’s underperformers, both experiencing significant price drops. In contrast, Bonk (BONK) defied market trends, securing its place as one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies. Here’s a detailed recap of the week’s developments.

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)

At the beginning of the week, PNUT’s price was $1.94. However, the meme coin’s value has since decreased by 33%. This significant decline could be attributed to selling pressure from those who held the token until it reached an all-time high.

PNUT’s price is currently $1.17. However, the one-hour chart shows that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to 31.66. When the RSI climbs to 70.00, it means that the asset is overbought.

On the other hand, if it is below 30.00, it means that it is oversold. Therefore, while the RSI reading indicates bearish momentum, it indicates that PNUT is oversold.

As such, the meme coin’s price could be in line for a rebound. If validated, then PNUT’s price could bounce toward $1.40. In a highly bullish scenario, the meme coin could rally toward $1.72. However, if selling pressure increases again, the price could decrease below $1.15 when we publish the next meme coins weekly update.

Goatseus Maximus (GOAT)

Similar to PNUT, GOAT, another meme coin, faced a sharp decline this week, with its price dropping by 22%.

The price of GOAT has fallen to $0.87, possibly due to waning interest in AI-themed meme coins. The shifting narrative in the meme coin market suggests that some traders may be moving on from the AI buzz, seeking opportunities elsewhere.

Adding to the bearish sentiment, GOAT’s 4-hour chart has revealed a head and shoulders pattern, a classic bullish-to-bearish reversal indicator. This formation suggests that the meme coin could face further downside.

If the pattern plays out, coupled with the negative Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), GOAT’s price could decrease to $0.66. However, a surge in buying pressure could invalidate this bias. If that happens, the value could jump to $1.37.

Bonk (BONK)

Contrary to GOAT and PNUT’s performance, Bonk’s price experienced a 28% hike. This price increase happened because the project disclosed that it would burn 1 trillion tokens by December 25 at the latest.

As a result, this disclosure sent euphoria around the Solana meme coin’s community, driving demand and a higher value for the token. However, BONK faces resistance at $0.000050, which has made it challenging for the cryptocurrency to rise much higher.

Despite that, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) shows that bears do not still have control. If sustained, then BONK’s price could move toward $0.000060.

On the flip side, if bears outpace bulls’ dominance, that might not happen, as the next meme coins weekly analysis could see it decline to $0.000043.
