Newcomer meme coin Brett ($BRETT), which launched in February this year, has fallen 21% in the last seven days amidst a wider market rout that has shaved double-digit percentages from most leading meme coins.
Brett currently trades at a price of $0.1279, about 7% more than it was this time yesterday.
As usual, it’s the leading cryptocurrency that sets the pace for the rest of the market. The original and largest crypto Bitcoin ($BTC) fell 8% over the seven days, but climbed 1.1% overnight to change hands at $57,315 as of this writing.
Meanwhile, in the meme coin sector, Pepe ($PEPE) followed a similar trajectory to Brett—both memes deriving from Max Furie’s Boy’s Club webcomic—and fell 18% overnight but rose 4% over the last 24 hours to hit $0.059162 as of Tuesday 11 AM UTC.
DogWifHat ($WIF) and Floki ($FLOKI) posted similar intra-week losses of about 20% with very small respective gains 0f 0.3% and 1.6% in the last 24 hours.
Original meme coin Dogecoin ($DOGE) tracked Bitcoin more closely than its sector mates. $DOGE fell 12% over the week but rose 0.3% overnight to land on $0.1082.
As far as meme coins go, Brett has been performing relatively well over the last three months. On June 9 the token rose to an all-time high (ATH) of $0.1933 before coming down to its current price, which represents a pullback of over 30%.
