'Shiba Inu Killer' Dogwifhat Down 11.5% But 'The Best Active Trade Right Now,' Trader Claims

Pseudonymous cryptocurrency trader Altcoin Sherpa sees Dogwifhat WIF/USD as “the best active trade right now,” despite a dip in cryptocurrency prices.

What Happened: The heavily-followed trader published his analysis on X, listing pros and cons for trading the popular meme coin. As reasons that lead him to believe it is the best active trade, Altcoin Sherpa listed:

• WIF is the “market leader right now in terms of volume.”
• It is the leading Solana SOL/USD meme.
• It has great liquidity, allowing trader to get in “with size.”
• It is in price discovery.

But the trader also lists the following cons:

• Nobody knows when the current uptrend ends.
• Meme coin trading is “like hot potato,” where the capital can rotate to other coins.
• The unit bias might become a problem.
• The risk-to-return is not as good for new investors.

His conclusion is to “continue to buy dips until it doesn’t work anymore” but Altcoin Sherpa would “personally” not buy it “with size” for the long term.

Why It Matters: Dogwifhat’s uptrend has catapulted it into the top 40 cryptocurrencies, with a preliminary all-time high of $4.79 on March 31.

It is up 129% over the past month, far outperforming the 19% gain of Shiba Inu SHIB/USD over the same timeframe. However, Shiba Inu’s market cap of $15 billion dwarfs the $3.8 billion of its rival.

Yet, over the past 24 hours, Dogwifhat has corrected alongside the entire cryptocurrency market and is down 11.5% at the time of writing. Whether that means the end of the trader’s identified uptrend remains to be seen.
