- FLOKI seems to be carrying a significant number of holders who are currently in the red
- All eyes are on the whales and whether they’ll help push the price higher
The past week has marked a turning point for the memecoin community, which has struggled to attract investors amid a preference for less volatile, more stable assets lately. FLOKI, in particular, stands out as a prime example of this shift.
With an impressive 22% surge in just seven days, FLOKI is showing signs of life, and its recovery is aligning with a broader shift in the memecoin market. So, as the green shoots of growth begin to emerge, could this mark the beginning of a bigger rally for FLOKI?
FLOKI in a high-stake gamble
The mid-December fallout hit the crypto market hard, with both high and mid-cap assets suffering the brunt of Bitcoin’s [BTC] sharp downturn.
However, just a week before that, the scene was vastly different. As BTC soared to $99k for the first time, altcoins surged, and meme tokens took a backseat.
Fast forward to the final week of Q4, and the memecoin market has made a surprising return, with a bullish green chart and new whispers of a potential ‘supercycle.’ For FLOKI, however, the journey is far from over.
Priced at $0.0001800 at press time, it’s still a long way from its recent highs near $0.000300. While the recent uptick has sparked some optimism, FLOKI needs sustained momentum to rebuild investor confidence and return to profit territory.
The stakes are high – Around 12,000 addresses are holding 307 billion FLOKI tokens, purchased at an average price of $0.000259, and they’re all underwater right now.

Clearly, these holders are watching closely. So, the pressure is on for FLOKI to deliver a significant rebound. In fact, analysts predict a potential 50% upside, which could push FLOKI to $0.00027, but that’s not going to be an easy feat.
High consistency would be required
Looking at FLOKI’s daily price chart, it’s clear that the token has maintained a relatively consistent price action. Nonetheless, when it comes to the memecoin market, market psychology plays a huge role. This space is notorious for its volatile swings, and FLOKI is no exception.
Right now, about 72% of FLOKI’s total supply is held by a small group of large holders, collectively controlling around 7.17 trillion coins. These whales are clearly playing the short-term game, aiming to pocket quick profits.
Realistic or not, here’s FLOKI’s market cap in BTC’s terms
So, while an uninterrupted surge to $0.00030 might sound tempting, it’s likely too optimistic. A more achievable short-term target could be $0.000260, if the right conditions line up.
That said, don’t expect a memecoin rally to happen overnight. Whales are known for swooping in at a discount and then selling at a premium – if that pattern continues, the $0.000260 level could face resistance, triggering a potential sell-off.
With so much at stake, the next few days will be pivotal for FLOKI and the broader memecoin market.
