Memecoin track
The majority of memecoins are currently in a period of market correction. This has led to a rapid rotation of capital within this space, which is subsequently affecting profitability. The presale model on Solana has significantly reduced the time for tokens to peak, now just a few hours compared to 1-3 days. However, persistent FOMO behavior among users increases the risk of losses. Investors are advised to be cautious of risks. Currently, the retracement situations for several leading memes are:
PEPE: Down 40% from its peak, with a 5-day adjustment;
BONK: Down 53% from its peak, with a 5-day adjustment;
FLOKI: Down 41% from its peak, with a 6-day adjustment;
