Amid Bitcoin-Led Volatility, AMBCrypto Sees a Pattern Where Traders Might Be Shifting to Memecoins
Oct 10, 2024 at 09:00 pm
Typically, a good trading strategy involves entering positions at lower prices, allowing traders to maximize gains when the market recovers
In a bid to maximize gains, traders are shifting toward memecoins amid Bitcoin-led volatility and crashes in high-cap tokens, AMBCrypto observed.
As opposed to focusing on timing the market top, a sound trading strategy usually involves entering positions at lower prices.
With Bitcoin facing turbulence in the past week, bulls struggled to defend the $62K support level, ultimately leading to a drop to nearly $60K.
Currently, BTC trades at $60,820, with the $61K mark facing scrutiny as the next potential support. However, holding it may prove challenging.
In contrast, seven out of the top 10 memecoins by market cap ended in the green during this period, with NEIRO leading the pack.
The token boasted an impressive surge of around 100%. This leg up suggests that memecoins may be allowing traders to maximize gains in a risk-on environment, as confirmed by the chart below.

Furthermore, PEPE, the third-largest meme token by market cap, has been flowing back into holder wallets, indicating a potential market bottom.
Historically, significant buyouts of PEPE have coincided with its price hitting a floor, often resulting in a surge the following day. If this trend holds, PEPE could be primed for a correction.
This pattern isn’t exclusive to PEPE; it applies to other meme tokens as well. Traders buy low-cap assets when market sentiment is uncertain, allowing them to sell when high-potential tokens begin to recover.
Therefore, if BTC manages to hold its support without any bearish pressure, these memecoins might see a wave of profit-taking. Conversely, a rising dominance in memecoins could indicate that Bitcoin isn’t close to breaking out just yet.
Investors might be looking for short-term opportunities
While selective memecoins are gaining independence from Bitcoin’s volatility, their initial momentum often spikes during BTC’s bull rallies.
During each bull cycle, memecoins tend to mirror Bitcoin’s dominance, achieving similar daily gains. However, as the cycle progresses, memecoins often see their daily gains double those of BTC, primarily due to BTC’s extreme volatility.
As fears of a reversal rise, traders often move their capital from Bitcoin to memecoins for better returns.
Therefore, last week, as BTC retested the $63K ceiling, many traders exited, fearing a retracement. Meanwhile, memecoins experienced significant surges, highlighting short-term opportunities for traders.

According to AMBCrypto, memecoins also influence BTC’s price action, particularly toward the end of a cycle. As a result, the next “memecoin cycle” may align with BTC hitting a key resistance level around $66K.
Until then, investors are likely to engage in speculative trading for short-term gains.
