Meme coins have taken a heavy hit since their post-election peak, with the sector’s total market cap plunging 37% in the past 30 days to $72.2 billion.
At its December high, the figure stood at $130 billion—meaning nearly $60 billion in value has vanished in under three months.
Some of the worst declines have come from Pepe (-51%), Shiba Inu (-33.2%), and dogwifhat (-61.7%) over the past month.
The only top 10 meme coin to show gains is Official Trump ($TRUMP), largely because it launched at a low price. However, even it now trades 75.6% below its all-time high.
That said, technical indicators suggest a potential turnaround may be on the horizon.
Dogecoin Chart Shows that Meme Coins Could Make a Comeback if This Happens
Dogecoin (DOGE) is often regarded as the Bitcoin (BTC) of meme coins, making its price action a key indicator for the broader meme coin market.
Since hitting a local top in January, DOGE has been on a steady downtrend, with last weekend’s drop pushing it below a key support level.
The decline accelerated after Trump announced plans to raise tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, sparking further uncertainty in risk assets.
DOGE briefly dipped below the critical $0.26 support level, with bulls and bears locked in a battle to reclaim it.
A sustained break below this level could trigger a deeper decline, potentially erasing all gains from the post-election rally.
However, if bulls hold the line above $0.26, a strong recovery may be on the horizon.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching oversold territory, while the MACD histogram indicates slowing bearish momentum.
A confirmed RSI crossover above the signal line could see DOGE reclaim $0.26 and push toward the $0.30 resistance. While this wouldn’t erase last month’s losses, it could mark the beginning of a turnaround.
