The crypto market has taken a beating in the past few days, with Bitcoin and major altcoins shedding double-digit percentages.

However, one sector that has shown resilience amidst the carnage is the meme coin space.

Dogecoin and other top joke tokens have managed to bounce back quicker than most – leading investors to debate whether now is the right time to buy the dip.  

Bitcoin & Ethereum Lead Crypto Market Crash

It’s been a brutal few days for crypto investors, with prices plummeting across the board.

Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, has shed over 11% of its value in the past four days.

Ethereum has fared even worse, with the second-largest crypto sinking by 13%.

In total, the entire crypto market cap took a nosedive of $300 billion as several bearish catalysts dominated the headlines.

Geopolitical turmoil reared its head after Iran launched drone strikes against Israel, shaking investor confidence.

The tax deadline for Americans also triggered sell-offs as traders cashed out their crypto holdings to cover their bills.

Perhaps most crucially, talk of pre-halving profit-taking has spooked the market.

With Bitcoin’s next major supply squeeze just days away, some investors may have decided to de-risk and lock in gains ahead of the potentially volatile post-halving period.

Whatever the reason for crypto’s current bearishness, the downturn has been severe and indiscriminate.

Dog-Themed Meme Coins Defy Bearishness with Massive Rebounds

While the sell-off has ravaged some investors’ portfolios, one area emerged relatively unscathed – dog-themed meme coins.

Rather than crashing alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and dogwifhat have shown remarkable resilience.

For example, DOGE has already recouped much of its weekend losses.

After bottoming out around $0.131 on Saturday, it has since rebounded by 19% to trade at $0.155 at the time of writing.

SHIB has displayed even more impressive form, bouncing over 23% from local lows.

But the real standout has been WIF, which has risen over 32% since the weekend’s crash.

Seemingly unfazed by the market’s turmoil, WIF has experienced a massive relief rally – and attracted over $800 million in spot volume since yesterday.

Causing additional FOMO in the “dog coin” universe is the new Dogeverse (DOGEVERSE) project.

This ambitious multi-chain token has continued raising funds despite the broader market’s bearishness.

Popular influencers like TodayTrader have only boosted the hype – declaring in a viral video that Dogeverse could “explode on launch.”

Early investors can buy DOGEVERSE tokens through the ongoing presale for just $0.000296, with over $5.4 million in funding raised already.

New Tokens DOGE20 & SLOTH Attract Huge Degen Hype

Another dog-themed meme coin evading the market chaos is Dogecoin20 (DOGE20).

This reinvention of the Doge meme has shown no signs of slowing despite the weekend’s volatility.

In fact, Dogecoin20’s presale has remained a blazing success.

Over $10 million has been raised from retail investors licking their lips at the prospect of another explosive meme coin launch.

With its Uniswap debut slated for April 18, the hype for DOGE20 is ramping up across Twitter and Telegram.

The same can be said about Slothana (SLOTH), a new Solana-based meme coin that doesn’t have an association with dogs.

SLOTH has also raised over $10 million in its wildly successful presale and is gearing up for an airdrop distribution on April 29.

Popular YouTubers like Cilinix Crypto have been fanning the flames further by speculating about Slothana’s chances of being the next meme coin star on Solana.

While still high-risk options, both Dogecoin20 and Slothana demonstrate that demand for new meme coin launches remains as high as ever – even while the broader market is in a tailspin.

In that regard, they could represent possible “buy the dip” opportunities for thrill-seeking investors bullish on the meme coin space.
