As momentum builds around memecoins, the community on social media spaces has rallied behind these assets projecting further bullish pressure. Last week, memecoins where witnessed outflows after the wider market traded sideways. 

The reduced frenzy Solana memecoins also contributed to the decline in market capitalization with analysts pointing to further lows.
