According to crypto analyst Mihir, the altcoin season has just kicked in as they start to dominate over Bitcoin. According to his analysis, BTC’s dominance has been strong since 2022. However, he notes that the coin has hit its critical dominance resistance and may pull back to a dominance of 62.4%. The start of the altcoin season has started to elevate most of the memecoins in the market, as most of the top ten memecoins are trading in the green zone today with major gains. According to CoinGecko data, the memecoin market is up 8.1% to $71 billion.
Meanwhile, the overall crypto market cap is up today by 1.67% to $3.27 trillion in the past 24 hours. In addition, the trading volume has increased 4.67% to $168.19 billion. The fear and greed index has shifted from the fear zone to the greed zone and stands at an index of 71. Most of the top 10 cryptocurrencies are also trading in the green zone, with Bitcoin hovering above $103,000. The start of the altcoin season is set to benefit the memecoin sector. As investors return to the market, here are the next memecoins to explode.
Next Memecoins to Explode
1. Pepe (PEPE)
The frog-themed memecoin operating on the Ethereum blockchain is trading at $0.00001254, a 14.65% increase in the past day. In addition, the trading volume has increased 52.91% to $3.36 billion.

In addition, the PEPE/Tether daily chart supports the bullish momentum of the memecoin. According to trader CRYPTOzz, PEPE is trading inside a symmetrical triangle. The price is holding above the ascending support line. According to his analysis, the support of the coin lies between 0.00000050 and 0.00000059. A breakout above the triangle would confirm bullish momentum. According to him, if bulls maintain the momentum, PEPE is set to hit $0.00001700 in the near term.
2. FLOKI (FLOKI)
The utility token for the Floki Ecosystem is trading at $0.0001019, representing a 9.41% increase over the last 24 hours. The market cap stands at $981.36 million, and the trading volume has increased by 57.17% to $296.93 million. Moreover, the coin has gained 20.22% in the past week and 92% in the past month, making it one of the next coins to explode.

According to analyst Javon Marks, Floki is responding well to the recent price breakout. He points to a clear bullish trend with repeating falling wedge breakouts. Price broke out of each wedge with strong volume. The current wedge shows a breakout with increasing volume, and historical patterns suggest another potential strong rally. Resistance zones appear near 0.000018000 and 0.000022000. Support zones are near 0.000006000 and 0.000008000. Each breakout followed a tightening wedge structure. The latest breakout follows the same pattern and could lead to a 3x surge of the coin.
