Chart of the day: Dogwifhat (WIF)
Dogwifhat (WIF) is in a multi-month downward trend that started on March 31, 2024. WIF trades at $1.533 at the time of writing. The meme coin could extend its decline and erase another 9.5% from its value by dipping to support at $1.380.
$1.380 represents an important level for WIF, and it is the September 1 low for the asset, as seen in the WIF/USDT daily chart.

The meme coin could rally toward the imbalance zone between $1.659 and $1.764 if WIF closes above the lower boundary at $1.659. A failure to close above this level would imply further correction is likely.
