Solana’s Fartcoin is Outsmarting Crypto Market Amid Tariff Troubles, Up ~50%

Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), a memecoin functioning atop the Solana blockchain, is defying downturns in the broader crypto market that have wiped nearly $180 billion off its capitalization since April 6.

Solana Memecoin Farts 50% Gains

As of April 8, FARTCOIN was up 22.30% in the past 48 hours, and by circa 50% on a week-to-date basis, suggesting that the root cause of the crypto market’s crash this week—US President Donald Trump’s global tariff war—is clearly not souring traders’ appetite for the memecoin.

There isn’t any strong fundamental backing FARTCOIN’s gains, except that it’s a memecoin that has occasionally withstood crypto market losses. For instance, when Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 6% on April 3—from over $87,000 to around $81,500—FARTCOIN led the recovery, jumping 36% the next day.

On-chain data also shows no signs of price manipulation behind Fartcoin’s rally. In fact, large whale transactions—those involving transfers between $100,000 and $1 million, or more than $1 million—have been minimal over the past seven days.

Instead, most FARTCOIN activity is driven by smaller, retail-level transactions. This suggests that the recent price surge is largely fueled by everyday traders and community hype, rather than coordinated moves by big players or insiders.

Fartcoin Technical Analysis: Price Can Pop Another 50% by May

Fartcoin appears poised for a major breakout after forming a textbook inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on its daily chart. This classic bullish reversal structure suggests a shift in market sentiment, with buyers gaining control after months of downward pressure.

The pattern consists of three distinct troughs. The left shoulder formed in late February, followed by a deeper dip in early March that established the head. The right shoulder took shape through late March and early April. Fartcoin broke above the neckline resistance near $0.59, confirming the pattern.

Traders typically measure the breakout target by adding the distance from the head’s lowest point to the neckline. In Fartcoin’s case, a move toward $1.92 is projected. If momentum holds, the price could reach this level as early as May.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits near 59.7, suggesting growing bullish momentum without overbought conditions.

Double Top Threats Remains Intact

Conversely, a drop below the neckline would invalidate the pattern and dampen short-term bullish expectations, instead setting the stage for a double top pattern.

A closer look reveals a double top threat forming near the inverse head and shoulders neckline at around $0.589.

Fartcoin tapped the $0.589 level twice—first in late March and again in early April, albeit without a convincing breakout. If the price fails to hold above this level and retreats, it could confirm the double top, a bearish reversal signal.

A confirmed double top could invalidate the bullish setup and send Fartcoin back toward the $0.30–$0.35 support range.
