Meme Coin Prices Decline Amid Market Turbulence
Recently, meme coins enjoyed a period of significant profitability, overshadowing other altcoins and leading to what some dubbed a "meme season."
However, this trend appears to be waning, with many meme coins now experiencing a downturn of around 30%.
This decline is part of a broader market trend, with cryptocurrencies overall facing considerable selling pressure. Bitcoin, for instance, has seen a drop to $64,428.90, while Ethereum has fallen to $3335.6, raising concerns following the Ethereum London Upgrade.
Key meme coins, including Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Floki Inu, have seen significant price drops in recent days, with some experiencing declines of over 20%. This trend is not limited to established meme coins, as newer entrants like Pepe and BONK are also struggling.
Despite these setbacks, meme coins have retained prices higher than those observed a month or two ago. Moreover, there are signs of a resurgence in meme coin trading volume, which currently stands at $12,091,292,078 and may increase further with renewed bullish sentiment.

The volatility inherent in meme coins means their survival is contingent upon market trends, with even minor fluctuations potentially impacting prices significantly.
Several factors contribute to the decline in meme coin prices. The ongoing Federal Reserve meeting, set to conclude with a policy statement on March 20, has injected uncertainty into the market, leading to increased selling pressure.
Additionally, a downturn in the Indian stock market has further exacerbated this trend, highlighting the correlation between traditional and crypto markets.
