Bitcoin is the sole mover of the market and whatever happens to bitcoin it surely affect other coin be it negative or positive other coins follows immediately. For memecoin it is usual for them to moon without even waiting for the market increase, especially they are mostly being hyped over night or when a famous media influencer happen to buy and hold it you would see how he will promote them. I still remember in the time of John Mcafee
meme coin is a coin that waits for hype and is popularized first before its price goes up, meme coin will not wait for bitcoin to move up, it will hype its price up then experience a price drop. because meme coin is suitable for short term, this coin is not suitable for long term, this is according to my analysis.
I won't even encourage someone to venture into investment with memecoin like sincerely because it's hype is much and if such person aren't careful he would end up losing. Of course you are right it doesn't follow the bitcoin price rather being popularized on social media and various places before the price got soared for a only few weeks or months there after then price dump, while the smart people cash out good sum of money.
In a majority of cases, memecoins are affected by new trends, especially on social media; the price rates may sharply rise. Otherwise, investing in them becomes very risky because of the high levels of volatility, and we may end up losing all our cash.
These investments rise and fall extremely in a short span of time thus more advantageous to investors who venture big. In this respect, it concerns us as investors, to keep our investments safe since some of these opportunities are based on quite shaky ground, as we should limit ourselves to assets that present less risk.
