The reason meme coins are going down while Bitcoin (BTC) is still strong at $107,000 can be explained by a few key market factors:
✅ 1. Capital Rotation
When BTC pumps, big investors (whales and institutions) move money into BTC because it’s more stable and trusted. Meme coins are riskier, so during uncertain or consolidating times, money flows out of meme coins into BTC or stable assets.
✅ 2. Hype vs. Value
Bitcoin has strong fundamentals, limited supply, institutional adoption, and global recognition.
Meme coins like PEPE, DOGE, BOB, etc., depend heavily on hype, influencers, and short-term trends.
When the hype dies down, these coins crash hard.
✅ 3. Profit-Taking by Early Buyers
Early investors in meme coins may now be selling for profits, especially after big rallies in Q1/Q2 2025. That selling pressure pushes meme coins down even further.
✅ 4. Market Sentiment
Retail investors (small traders) are often the main drivers of meme coins. If retail interest is low or distracted (by BTC, ETH, or AI coins), meme coins suffer from low volume and dumping.
✅ 5. No Utility / Real Use Case
BTC is seen as "digital gold." Meme coins often have no real use case, so when the market becomes more serious or cautious, people leave these high-risk coins.
