3 Meme Coins to Watch Closely From Their Recent Performance

Jakarta, Pintu News – Risk assets saw massive outflows in January, including meme coins which are at the speculative end of the spectrum. Let’s take a look at how the top meme coins performed over the past 4 weeks.

Dogecoin’s Downward Trend Continues

The Dogecoin (DOGE) price continued to show a downward trend throughout the fourth quarter of 2025, and this trend continued until January 2026. The king of meme coins had started the month with a bullish movement, but unfavorable macroeconomic conditions wiped out the gains.

During January, the Dogecoin price spiked to $0.15, but eventually closed the month at $0.10. This translates to a 55% drop from its highest price in the month, and a drop of about 11.2% from the opening price to the close of the month.

The DOGE price even dropped below $0.10 at its lowest point in January and is in a very oversold state. This also caused the price to retest its 12-month low, which was the area of the previous bounce in the second week of October last year.

SHIB price slumps again

Shiba Inu memecoin (SHIB) also struggled to get a bullish push amid difficult market conditions in January. The dog-themed meme coin had recorded an impressive spike of 45% in the first 5 days of the month.

However, those gains were quickly erased after pressure from the bears returned to dominate the market. SHIB prices slumped nearly 40% from its highest peak in January to its lowest point during the month.

Overall, the price of Shiba Inu fell 1.45% from the opening to closing price in January. In other words, SHIB’s decline was not as severe as Dogecoin’s.

Although Shiba Inu is also pressured by bearish market conditions, its RSI indicator shows that it is not yet oversold, despite having recorded five consecutive months of declines.

However, SHIB’s decline was significant as it hit a multi-year low. Its lowest price on January 31 touched back the price level last seen in June 2023.

Interestingly, this price level is also very close to SHIB’s all-time low, which could be an indication that selling pressure is starting to ease-and may make the current price look attractive to some investors.

Coin PEPE meme ends monthly downtrend

While meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu continued to decline on the monthly time frame, the PEPE coin (PEPE) actually managed to register a slight increase. This frog-themed meme coin rose by almost 3% during January.

However, this does not mean that PEPE is completely immune to bearish pressure. The slight increase is largely due to the strong rally that took place in the first 4 days of January, where the price surged by almost 80%.

The rest of the month was largely spent erasing those gains. PEPE was only able to close the month with a small gain thanks to the mild recovery that occurred on the last day of January.

Previously, this meme coin recorded a monthly price decline trend since August. This means that PEPE managed to break the trend after closing January with a positive performance. It also remains slightly above its February 2024 low.

Pepe Coin’s performance in early January had sparked optimism about the coin’s prospects for the rest of the month, and even the whole year. This indicates that PEPE still has the potential to attract strong demand if market conditions improve.

In conclusion, the major players in the meme coin world have been severely impacted by unfavorable market conditions. Even so, their prices, which are now at heavily discounted levels, have the potential to attract investor interest again if market sentiment shifts to riskier assets.
