Most meme coins ranked in the top 10 by market capitalization, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bonk (BONK), have extended their gains from the past 7 days in the past 24 hours.
Several factors have likely influenced the gains in DOGE, SHIB and BONK prices, in addition to GameStop stock rally this week.
Dogecoin, the largest meme coin by market capitalization, has seen accumulation by entities holding between 1 million and 10 million tokens. Data from crypto intelligence tracker Santiment shows that holders added 30 million DOGE to their holdings between May 1 and 16.
Accumulation is typically a bullish sign for an asset.
