Memecoins remain down in the market as investors’ sentiment dwindled due to macroeconomic factors a few days after the Bitcoin halving. Generally, the crypto market sell-off has taken a toll on assets decentralized finance numbers, and memecoin.&nbsp;
This year, the <a href="https://coingape.com/blog/memecoin-craze-what-meme-coins-are-rallying-today/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">memecoin frenzy</a> pushed tokens over the roof with a wider rally from the community. This was spurred by the approval and inflow of funds to Bitcoin ETFs that led to all-time highs for the asset. Traders looked towards the halving for more gains as memecoins often bounced with the general market sentiment.&nbsp;
With the halving two days away and reduced consistent outflows from crypto assets, memecoins continue to lose ground.

Dogecoin (<a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/dogecoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DOGE</a>) is down 5% in the last 24 hours and 25% this week. The memecoin giant also records plummeting trading volumes as market sentiment shifts. Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $2.26 billion with a market capitalization of $21 billion.

With widespread outflows over the last for memecoins, sentiments remain low days before the halving. However, previous Bitcoin halvings have ushered in a bull run leading to price surges.&nbsp;
