3 memecoins expected to pump this bull cycle

DOGE jumps 23%, sparking interest in Little Pepe, Dogwifhat, and Bonk as analysts eye 25x potential gains.

The memecoin market is heating up again. In the past week, Dogecoin (DOGE), the first and leading meme token, has increased by 23%. This surge has sparked interest from traders seeking community-run, high-potential assets.

In the past, large movements from DOGE have often come before larger meme token rallies, with newer and smaller market cap coins giving even higher percentage returns.

Now, analysts are spotlighting three memecoins they believe could post 25x returns in the coming months: Little Pepe (LILPEPE), Dogwifhat (WIF), and Bonk (BONK). Each project combines viral community appeal with technical setups that suggest significant upside potential.

1. Little Pepe – a memecoin layer-2 challenger

Little Pepe has emerged as one of the most ambitious meme projects of 2025 — not just aiming for viral status, but building a dedicated Layer-2 blockchain ecosystem for memecoins.

While most meme tokens exist as ERC-20s reliant on Ethereum’s network, Little Pepe’s Layer-2 promises ultra-low fees, lightning-fast transactions, and anti-bot trading protections.

Key features include:

• No Sniper Bots: Fair launch environment for retail traders.
• Meme Launchpad: Enabling new tokens to deploy directly on the network.
• Low-Cost Transactions: Fractions-of-a-cent gas fees.

The project has also prioritized trust and transparency, achieving a 95.49% security score from CertiK, one of the industry’s most respected auditors.

Presale performance

Little Pepe’s presale is now in Stage 11, over 93% sold out, with $20.57m raised toward a $22.3m target. The current token price is $0.0020, with the next stage bumping it to $0.0021. Analysts see a near-term post-listing target of $0.05–$0.088, representing around 25–44x upside from today’s price.

Why it could pump:

• Strong presale momentum
• Dual top-tier exchange listings at launch
• Dedicated Layer-2 utility
• Large, growing community

If DOGE continues to rally, spillover demand for emerging meme projects could push LILPEPE into rapid price discovery mode.

2. Dogwifhat – approaching breakout levels

Dogwifhat has been on trader watchlists for months, with technical analysts like Chris and Atlas pointing to a setup that could trigger a breakout run. Currently trading at $1.066, WIF has key support levels at $0.786 and $0.910, which have held during recent pullbacks.

Recent price action:

• Quick rise to $1.10, then drop to $0.94, bringing it to a 9.61% drop for the day.
• Trading volume dropped from $484M to $413m indicating some profit-taking.
• Despite the pullback, higher lows are forming — a bullish structural sign.

Resistance to watch

The critical breakout zone is near $1.20. According to Atlas’s charts, clearing this level could open the path toward $2.60, highlighting consistent uptrend momentum.

Bullish case:

• A series of higher lows suggests strong buyer support.
• Price is near the lower range, offering a favorable entry zone.
• Historical behavior shows rallies often follow successful range reclaims.

Suppose WIF can hold above $0.90 and break $1.20 decisively. Analysts believe it could post a strong rally, with the $2.60 level representing roughly 145% upside from current prices — before considering the broader 25x potential if momentum snowballs.

3. Bonk – from sideways trading to breakout mode

Launched in late 2022, Bonk was initially a community airdrop to Solana developers, arriving when the ecosystem was struggling post-FTX collapse. Its mission was simple: inject energy and liquidity back into the Solana space.

After weeks of consolidation, BONK has again broken the crucial $0.000025 resistance level. A 12% rally in the past 24 hours has set BONK up for another important level. This move has turned resistance into support, bringing us closer to the long-expected $0.000050 in the following weeks.

Technical Indicators:

• Broke out of a descending wedge pattern, a bullish reversal signal.
• RSI has exited oversold territory, pointing to growing buying pressure.
• MACD crossed into positive territory, reinforcing the bullish case.

Institutional Interest

Adding fuel to the rally, NASDAQ-listed beverage company Safety Shot Inc. recently bought $25m worth of BONK, planning to acquire 4–5% of the total supply. While Safety Shot’s own stock price fell on the news, the purchase signaled rising institutional attention toward memecoins.

Support and resistance:

• Support: $0.000023
• Mid-term Resistance: $0.000030
• Major Resistance: $0.000050

Continuing on this trajectory, BONK could hit reasonably $0.000050 by late August. Depending on market adoption and sentiment, long-term projections for 2025 vary from $0.000026 to $0.000059.

Why DOGE’s rally matters for these picks

Dogecoin’s 23% surge this week isn’t just a win for DOGE holders — it’s a bullish signal for the entire memecoin sector. Historically, strong moves from DOGE have sparked speculative waves into smaller caps, as traders look to replicate high-multiple returns.

During past memecoin seasons:

• DOGE rallies often preceded alt-meme explosions.
• SHIB, FLOKI, and PEPE all saw outsized gains in the months following major DOGE runs.
• Market sentiment shifts rapidly from blue-chip memes to “next big thing” plays.

If DOGE maintains upward momentum, projects like Little Pepe, WIF, and BONK could benefit disproportionately as capital rotates into lower market-cap assets with higher potential multipliers.

Final takeaway

The memecoin market remains one of crypto’s most volatile and speculative segments — but also one of its most lucrative for well-timed entries. Little Pepe combines meme culture with real Layer-2 infrastructure and is still in presale under $0.0025. Dogwifhat is pressing against a key breakout zone at $1.20, with a chart setup that mirrors previous rally patterns.

Bonk is already looking to break out of consolidation and aims to reach $0.000050 in the near future, a target that represents a near-term doubling. As the entire market shifts bullish, these three tokens, alongside the market-leading DOGE, can net 25x returns thanks to their community support, structural setups, and the momentum driving them.
