Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), a new meme coin on the block, has taken the crypto community by storm with its aggressive surge since launching earlier this month. In just two weeks, GOAT skyrocketed from virtually zero to over $900 million in market capitalization, drawing comparisons with last year’s memecoin sensation, PEPE. 


This rapid ascent has captivated both analysts and investors, who are beginning to see GOAT as a potential contender for memecoin dominance in the current market cycle. Related Reading Bitcoin Short Positions Face Serious Risk Above $68,500 – Details 1 day ago


Much like PEPE’s explosive rise in 2023, GOAT has defied initial skepticism, proving that meme coins still hold significant sway among crypto enthusiasts and speculative traders. With its rapidly growing community and social media buzz, many are asking if GOAT has what it takes to become this cycle’s meme coin reference point. 


As the excitement builds, the market is closely watching to see if GOAT can maintain its momentum and establish itself as the next big name in the unpredictable world of meme coins. Can GOAT Lead Meme Coins This Cycle?


Top crypto analyst and investor Daan recently shared an insightful comparison on X between the rising meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) and 2023’s sensation, PEPE. In his analysis, Daan noted that while GOAT has surged remarkably since its recent launch, the initial trajectory of PEPE was even faster. 


PEPE reached a market cap of approximately $1.4 billion within 22 days of launching, whereas by day 17, it held around $600 million—close to GOAT’s current standing. Daan emphasized that PEPE’s local peak occurred when Binance listed it for spot and perpetual contracts, sparking a “blow-off top.” This listing and the subsequent price spike marked a turning point, as PEPE didn’t return to those price levels for another 10 months.

Daan also highlighted other quick-surge tokens, such as SLERF and BOME, which ran higher earlier this year during a local market peak. However, he believes GOAT and PEPE stand apart as probable long-term players in the meme coin space, given their roles as sector leaders. By positioning GOAT alongside PEPE, Daan underscored the potential for GOAT to mirror PEPE’s lasting appeal among investors.

As GOAT continues to gain traction, the market remains speculative, and comparisons like Daan’s shed light on how meme coins like GOAT could evolve—either stabilizing as a major player or facing a similar volatility cycle post-peak. With GOAT’s market cap climbing and interest growing, time will tell whether it can follow a similar trajectory to PEPE or carve out a unique legacy within the meme coin sector. Price Action: Technical View


GOAT is currently trading at $0.637 after a retrace from its all-time high of $0.915. While data on GOAT’s price movements remain limited due to its recent launch, the 4-hour chart reveals essential levels that could define near-term demand and supply zones. 


The key demand level to watch is around $0.56—previously a significant resistance since GOAT’s debut, now flipped to act as strong support. If GOAT can hold above this $0.56 mark, it could signal sustained interest from buyers, positioning the token for another upward move.

On the supply side, $0.72 is the next critical zone to test. A push through this level would likely bring new bullish momentum as traders look for higher levels and potential gains above recent highs.  Related Reading Ethereum Whale Activity Spikes To 6-Week High – Smart Money Accumulation? 1 day ago


The $0.72 area will act as short-term resistance, and should GOAT manage to break through it, the price could move toward a fresh all-time high. As GOAT’s momentum develops, these levels offer a framework for monitoring its price action and gauging potential shifts in the market sentiment surrounding this rising meme coin.
