In Q1 2025, investors heavily favored artificial intelligence tokens and memecoins like FARTCOIN. Together, these categories captured 62.8% of total market interest, according to a CoinGecko report on April 16.
AI tokens led with 35.7% global attention, surpassing memecoins at 27.1%. Among the top 20 Q1 narratives, six involved memecoins, including FARTCOIN, while five focused on AI. These trends highlight growing retail participation in both sectors.
FARTCOIN Price Action: From Viral Hype to Sharp Sell-Off Journey: From Hype to Sell-Off
$FARTCOIN, inspired by an AI project called “Terminal of Truth” (ToT), launched in October 2024. It quickly gained popularity during the memecoin surge.
The community amplified its growth by posting “fart” memes and jokes on X (formerly Twitter), fueling viral momentum.
Despite a 1% dip recently, $FARTCOIN soared over 225% in the past month. This performance far exceeded broader market trends, which remained mostly negative.
However, the token is still down 66% from its all-time high of $2.61, hit during January’s Solana memecoin boom.
Many traders took profits as the price surged, slashing the market cap from over $2 billion to around $360 million.
One trade tracked by Lookonchain showed a whale converting 12,160 $SOL into 8.15 million $FARTCOIN at $1.29 per token. The trader secured a profit of roughly $2.5 million.
Social Buzz and Futures Market Fuel $FARTCOIN’s Revival
After a deep pullback, $FARTCOIN is showing signs of revival. A sharp rise in social activity and futures data supports this view.
LunarCrush reported a 450% increase in social volume during April, just before the token’s 200% rally this month.
In memecoins, surging community activity often signals fresh speculative interest. $FARTCOIN seems to be following this trend.
According to CoinGlass, open interest in $FARTCOIN futures has climbed nearly 500% since January. Meanwhile, April’s funding rates remained mostly positive, pointing to bullish trader sentiment.
This renewed momentum has led crypto influencers to call for a spot exchange listing. Some compare $FARTCOIN’s staying power to Ethereum-based $PEPE, which hit a $10 billion market cap in 2024.
Despite its performance, $FARTCOIN still lacks listings on major spot exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, and Upbit.
The token trades actively in perpetual futures on Binance, Bybit, and OKX. In terms of volume, it outpaces most memecoins, second only to $DOGE.
On April 10, 2025, analyst Unipcs (“Bonk Guy”) questioned this gap:
“Why isn’t FARTCOIN listed on Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, and Upbit spot?
It’s live on perps across Binance, Bybit, and OKX. It’s outperforming nearly every memecoin in volume except $DOGE.”
Technical Setup: $FARTCOIN Eyes Bullish Reversal
On the one-hour $FARTCOIN/$USDT chart, a harmonic ABCD pattern is forming, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
The price moved from point A to B, then pulled back to C. It now approaches point D between $0.84 and $0.85.
This zone matches a prior demand area, increasing the likelihood of a bounce.
Recent candlesticks show strong selling pressure. Most are long red candles with short upper wicks.
Trader Picasso (@Picasso_Trades) shared a setup on X, outlining entry, execution, and targets using TPO analysis.
As the price nears support, traders are watching for bullish patterns like hammers, engulfing candles, or morning stars.
The MACD histogram remains negative, confirming ongoing bearish pressure. However, a bullish candle near $0.84–$0.85 could trigger a move toward resistance at $0.90–$0.93.
