In the follow-up of a phenomenal price rally witnessed by <a href="https://coingape.com/gamestop-gme-frenzy-spreads-into-crypto-meme-coins-caution-ahead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GameStop (GME) meme stock</a>, the price has once again returned to a slump, causing a bustle across Wall Street. Similarly, the meme coin season showed signs of a fading momentum recently, piquing global attention.

In an unprecedented move, GameStop recently said that it expects Q1 revenue to be $882 million, down from $1.23 billion in the same quarter last year. This has added a bearish tint to the meme stock’s trading journey.

This has further added to negative investor sentiments orbiting the meme stock.
GameStop (NYSE: GEM) was down 20.24% today and was standing at $22.07 at press time.
Meanwhile, as the abovementioned meme-themed investment product lost traction, the crypto realm’s meme-themed currencies also illustrated turbulent price actions. Let’s take a closer look at these meme tokens.

Following a remarkable buzz curated by meme coins amid the start of this year’s bull cycle, tokens such as DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE have now started a period of sideways trading, keeping crypto market traders and investors on their toes. The sudden rise and fall of meme stocks, as in the one mentioned above, has further sparked concerns over the highly volatile nature of these entertainment-themed investment products, whether in the crypto realm or regular markets.
Nonetheless, meme-based cryptos continue to glimmer hope, as a much-anticipated post-BTC halving rally has yet to kick in.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/pepe-coin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PEPE</a> traded at $0.00001019, up 3.63% in the past 24 hours. <a href="https://coingape.com/price/dogecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dogecoin</a> traded at $0.1528, jumping 1.30% over the past day.
