This Week in Meme Coins: TRUMP, AKUMA Post Rallies While FARTCOIN Falls By 40%
Meme coin action varied this week as AKUMA rallied, MAGA gained from political buzz, and FARTCOIN struggled after a 40% drop.
The past seven days did not prove exceptionally bullish for the crypto market, as Bitcoin continued to hover below the $100,000 mark. Nevertheless, some emerging names took the top spot among the meme coins, with some other familiar names noting a dip.
BeInCrypto has analyzed three such meme coins that triggered varying sentiments among investors this week.
Akuma Inu (AKUMA)
AKUMA has captured attention as a new meme coin, rising by an impressive 183% this week to reach $0.00132. This sharp increase highlights the altcoin’s growing popularity and investor interest despite broader market challenges. Its recent performance highlights its potential in the volatile crypto space.
The altcoin has established a key support level at $0.00106, providing a solid foundation for continued upward movement. With the market attempting recovery, AKUMA is positioned to maintain its bullish momentum.

However, if AKUMA falls through the support level of $0.00106, it could face a significant drop to $0.00085. Such a decline would jeopardize its recent progress and invalidate the bullish outlook, highlighting the importance of maintaining the current support to sustain momentum.
MAGA (TRUMP)
MAGA experienced an impressive 70% rally over the past week, briefly crossing the $3.00 mark before pulling back to $2.78 at the time of writing. This sharp increase in price reflects growing market enthusiasm surrounding the meme coin’s potential as political events continue to draw attention to the asset.
The rally appears driven by anticipation of Donald Trump’s inauguration as US President on January 20, which is generating significant interest among investors.

As the inauguration date approaches, MAGA is expected to maintain its bullish momentum, with the possibility of reaching new highs. The meme coin could climb to $4.44, provided market enthusiasm persists, and external factors continue to fuel optimism around the asset.
Fartcoin (FARTCOIN)
FARTCOIN emerged as one of the worst-performing cryptocurrencies this week, suffering a 40% decline over the last seven days. The meme coin’s price dropped below the critical support level of $1.00, signaling a lack of resilience amid broader market challenges that have left investors searching for signs of recovery.
The correction followed shortly after FARTCOIN achieved its all-time high of $1.61. The absence of bullish momentum in the wider market appears to have fueled the sharp downturn, reflecting the volatility often associated with meme coins.

If FARTCOIN successfully reclaims $0.98 as a support level, the meme coin could see a resurgence. This would position the asset to break back above $1.00, with a possible rally toward its ATH of $1.61, provided the broader market conditions improve and investor confidence returns.

Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.

Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
