WIF has jumped by 39% in the past 24 hours, with the DogWifHat price surging to $2.09 on a day when the crypto market gains by a very modest 0.3%.
WIF has been on fire pretty much all week, with the Solana-based meme coin posting a 180% increase in seven days, a 500% rise in a fortnight and an 860% surge in a month.
The coin has also exploded by just over 130,000% since December, making it the best-performing top-100 coin over this period.
And with WIF only gaining more momentum in recent days, it could see further gains in the near term.
WIF has also risen by 2% in the past hour, with its chart signalling some good rising momentum after a pronounced dip earlier in the week.
The coin’s relative strength index (purple) had dropped as low as 45 a few days ago, yet it has now risen back above 60, with more room for further gains.
Similarly, WIF’s 30-day average (yellow) has resumed rising vigorously again after a comparable dip, with its ascent suggesting that the coin remains in a pronounced expansionary phase.
The token’s trading volume also supports this view, given that it remains at around the $1 billion level, up from $130 million a week ago and $25 million a month ago.
It therefore seems that whales have begun buying up the coin in bigger quantities, with the catalyst for this growth being yesterday’s news that Binance will list WIF.
