In the midst of a market crash, it’s often a good idea to allocate a small amount of your portfolio towards accumulating the best meme coins. Why? Well, simply because they both crash and rally harder than their fusty and unfunny peers.
That means in times of market unrest, they can often be found trading at a higher discount, while in times of market abundance, they can bring in some of the biggest profits.
That said, here are three meme coins to buy during today’s market dip. Given that many analysts point towards a likely new bull run this year, you’ll want to get in early.
Trump’s Official Meme Coin Outpaces the Top Doges.
Launched just days before Donald Trump took office in January, the official $TRUMP meme coin has surged to become the third-largest cryptocurrency with a $2 billion market cap.
While the broader $49.9 billion meme coin market fell 3% in the past 24 hours, $TRUMP is up 1%, trading at $10.14.
As the meme coin tied to a pro-crypto U.S. President, it’s likely to rally alongside major announcements—particularly the confirmed Strategic Crypto Reserve and the expected crypto regulatory framework.
Both could be major catalysts not only for $TRUMP, but for the wider market.
Technically, $TRUMP has been stabilizing, with its support and resistance lines tightening—a setup that often signals a breakout ahead.
This goes hand in hand with a relative strength index (RSI) that sits around 52. Throughout most of March, $TRUMP’s RSI has stayed well between the bounds of oversold (30) and overbought (70) which indicates balanced buying and selling.
So, despite its meme coin status, $TRUMP is relatively stable right now. That means this could be a strategic time to accumulate ahead of upcoming announcements on crypto regulation and the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve—both of which are likely to trigger renewed interest and price action.
Ultimately, $TRUMP is a bet on whether or not the US President takes a pro-active stance with crypto.
Meme Index ($MEMEX): A Strategic Approach to Investing in Meme Coins
Meme Index ($MEMEX) offers a diversified and structured approach to meme coin investing through a community-driven index fund model.
Rather than speculating on individual meme coins, investors can distribute their capital across multiple meme coin indexes, categorized by varying risk levels.
Additionally, $MEMEX token holders can actively participate in governance decisions that influence which cryptocurrencies go into or leave the baskets.
Meme Index raised around $4.3 million in presale investments, and its presale has just ended today. An announcement on the official website reads that the token claim and trading will begin at 2PM UTC on April 2, so if you missed out a chance to buy in at presale prices, you can wait for exchange listing announcements on Twitter or Telegram to buy in at launch.
With the meme coin market surpassing a collective valuation of $50 billion, Meme Index presents a structured and diversified gateway into this rapidly expanding sector, optimizing investment opportunities in this notoriously volatile subsector.
Dogecoin ($DOGE) – The Founding Meme Coin Still Leads the Pack
Dogecoin ($DOGE), the original meme-based cryptocurrency, remains the dominant force in the sector, with a market cap of $24.3 billion—nearly half of the entire meme coin market’s $49.9 billion valuation.
Launched in 2013 as a parody of the crypto boom, Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, using the iconic Doge meme as its mascot. It quickly evolved from satire to a cornerstone of the meme coin movement.
So far this year, DOGE’s resistance and support levels have dropped from $0.40 to $0.20 and from $0.32 to $0.15, mirroring Bitcoin’s broader downtrend and reflecting a wider risk-off sentiment amid geopolitical instability and rising global inflation.
There are growing signs that a weekend pump may be brewing. Dogecoin was on a steady upward trend since March 11 before falling at the close of March, broadly mirroring the price action of Bitcoin. Over the past seven days, DOGE has shed 5%.
Its relative strength index (RSI) is 49, which could signal a short-term end to the prices losses, but the long term prospects are more ambiguous.
Still, Dogecoin’s appeal comes from the fact that it regularly makes headlines. High-profile endorsements by figures like Elon Musk, Gene Simmons, and Snoop Dogg have all pumped its price before.
Additionally, Dogecoin has the most real-world utility of any meme coin and is accepted by many crypto-friendly vendors—including Tesla’s merch store.
As one of the most accessible meme coins on the market—tradable on top exchanges and supported by platforms like Revolut and PayPal—DOGE is a prime candidate for a strong rebound when sentiment turns bullish.
