Dogwifhat (WIF) has plummeted 10.22% over the past 24 hours to a level one analyst believes could be “catastrophic” for the meme coin, though traders are hopeful of a quick price rebound.
Currently trading at $3.37, it comes only three days after WIF briefly dipped below crucial support levels at $2.96 on May 27, per CoinMarketCap data.
It is now trading 3.7% below a concerning price benchmark, according to crypto trader Jack Skipp aka “CryptoJack.”
“The price of WIF needs to stay above $3.5 or this could be catastrophic. Traders beware,” he wrote in a May 30 X post to his 319,200 followers just hours before the price decline.
However, the pseudonymous crypto trader “Ponzi Trader” pointed to a reversal pattern forming on the 4-hour price chart, signaling that the price may be due for a quick recovery.
“I’m betting on a WIF bounce here,” he added.

If it revisits that level, CoinGlass data shows that $20 million in long positions will be wiped out.
It comes as futures traders ramp up their positions on WIF, with Open Interest (OI) at a 2-month high of $478.39 million, a level not seen since April 9.
