The popular meme coin and soon-to-be trading bot inspired by Elon Musk’s pet Shiba Inu of the same name, Floki ($FLOKI) appears to be trading against the grain of the market leader today.
In the last 24 hours, Floki added 0.6% to its value to trade at $0.0001491.
This contrasts with Bitcoin ($BTC), the number cryptocurrency and the one that most of the market tends to follow. Bitcoin actually fell 0.5% and currently changes hands at $58,280.

Dogecoin actually grew 0.4% overnight but fell about 2% over the week down to its current price of $0.1092.
Holders of two particular Shiba Inu meme coins are notably in profit since last week. Dogecoin’s number one rival, the Ethereum-based Shiba Inu coin ($SHIB), added 8.2% to trade at $0.00001657, while holders of Solana’s BONK ($BONK) coin saw their bags swell 15.7% to a new price of $0.00002587.
Floki’s price chart shows a token trading at about its current support level, which appears to be between $0.00012 and $0.00014.
Since early June, the token has shed 57% as it spiraled down from an all-time high of $0.0003449, posted on June 5.
