Meme keywords predicting the crypto market’s next move

While Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) experienced a decline this week as the recent surge faltered due to uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve and regulatory scrutiny, others tokens labeled meme coins have experienced astonishing results.

Meme coins and tokens have a significant impact on the wider crypto market, as evidenced by their correlation with market tops and falls. In the past week, with the crypto market experiencing a decline, there has been a surge in the use of popular meme keywords. These social media spikes have emerged as dependable signals for predicting market tops. 

Santiment noted on April 22: 

“Crypto markets often top & fall when meme keywords begin to spike. And as crypto markets have slipped this past week, we’ve seen words like #pepe, #babydoge, and #bobo trend at high frequencies. These social spikes are reliable market top signals.”

Meme coin market moves

Now, a newly created meme coin, PEPE, intended to compete with top meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) , has skyrocketed by a staggering 21,000% since its launch just last weekend. As a result, it has already secured a position as the seventh largest meme coin by market capitalization, with a total value of approximately $94.6 million.

The meme coin based on Pepe the Frog has a “self reported” circulation of 420.69 trillion while also carrying an “exercise caution” sign on CoinMarketCap as of April 25.

On April 15, an investor known as SmartMoney purchased 5.9 trillion PEPE coins for 0.125 Ethereum, which subsequently turned him into a millionaire. Based on the current price of the token, this investment is now valued at well over $1.4 million.

Another meme coin that has been recently trending is BOBO, which launched on April 20 and claims to be the next PEPE. Although many are labeled as scams or rug pulls, these infamous tokens can offer investors serious gains.

On the other hand, Baby Doge Coin (BABYDOGE) is a spinoff DogeCoin. It was launched in 2021 and currently holds the sixth ranking of largest meme coins with a market capitalization of $331,276,266.

Despite many meme coins having a bad reputation, they have found their place on the crypto ecosystem, rewarding investors and like Santiment noted, in some cases predicting tops and falls of the general market.
