POPCAT cools, WYAC and PHIL meme coins pump double.digits

As Bitcoin rose above $68,000, meme coins such as Woman Screaming Cat, Established EthXY Token, and Phili Inu rose by double digits.

The global crypto market has slowly recovered following last week’s crash, according to CoinMarketCap. The value of the crypto market has increased from $2.17 trillion at the end of last week to $2.34 trillion.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trending above $68,000 and Ethereum (ETH) is trading around $2,600. However, over the last few hours the market appears to be calming down, with signs of a potential reversal.

Despite this uncertainty, these three meme coins increased by double digits.

Woman Yelling at Cat pumping 80%

The latest data from CoinGecko shows an interesting price trend for the Taylor Armstrong-inspired meme coin.

Woman Yelling Cat (WYAC), named after a meme spoofing an episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” rose from a 24-hour low of $0.02504 to $0.05288.

The exact reason for the price increase is unclear. Still, WYAC’s popularity is growing on social media, including X.

See the table below.

But the volatility now appears to have cooled. The WYAC coin currently has a market cap of $45.5 million. Interestingly enough, meme money hit an all-time high on October 17th.

This latest surge has earned the meme coin its position as the biggest gainer on the CoinGecko list. On-chain data portal Alphanomics also shared that WYAC is one of the top five price gainers in the last 30 days, with a 6200% increase.

SEXY and PHIL are flying

After reviewing CoinGecko’s list of top gainers on Saturday, it is clear that Settled EthXY Token (SEXY) and Phili Inu (PHIL) are up by double digits.

SEXY is up almost 80% from its 24-hour low at $0.2408. Meme coin also retreated after rising to $0.5241.

SEXY was first launched on the Ethereum blockchain in August 2023.

In third place on the winners list is PHIL with an increase of 54%. The meme coin, featured in the 46th issue of SHIB Magazine, has also increased by over 130% in the last 30 days and its price is currently at $0.04.

The rise in these unpopular meme coins occurred as the price action of Popcat (POPCAT) eased. The cat-themed Solana (SOL) memecoin has dropped over 3% in the last 24 hours and over 15% in the last seven days.

However, POPCAT has shown similar pullbacks after major pumps in the past. However, the breast coin’s current trajectory remains unclear.
