  • WIF, PEPE, and SEI were among top performing altcoins as Bitcoin surged to above $63,800 on September 19
  • These gains followed the US Federal Reserve’s 0.5% interest rate cut
  • Analyst says WIF could outpace the market in coming weeks

Meme coins dogwifhat (WIF), Pepe (PEPE), and layer 1 blockchain Sei (SEI) are among the top gainers in the past 24 hours as several altcoins record their best performances.

SEI was up 19%, WIF 17%, and PEPE 12% as crypto rose amid Bitcoin’s surge to above $63,000 on Thursday.

According to data from CoinGecko, SEI’s price reached highs of $0.35 as its volume jumped 224% to over $345 million. Meanwhile, WIF traded to $1.81 across major exchanges, notching an intraday volume of over $717 million with a 24-hour increase of 109% at the time of writing.

Popcat (POPCAT), which has rallied since Kraken announced spot trading support, continued to outpace all other top 100 coins by market cap. However, meme coin Pepe also recorded decent gains to rank among best performers on the day. PEPE’s price jumped more than 12% to hit levels last seen on August 28.

According to crypto analyst RookieXBT, dogwifhat’s price has the potential to pare losses seen during its recent downtrend within weeks. Notably, the analyst also sees further gains for POPCAT.

Crypto spikes after Fed interest rate cut

Most of the coins seeing significant gains in the past 24 hours are registering the upside after the market reacted upward to the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut on September 18. After four years, the Fed slashed interest rates by 50 basis points on Wednesday.

Bitcoin’s price rocketed after the decision, with BTC first breaking above $60k to bolster overall sentiment. Prices retested resistance around $62.2k before a slight dip &- then roared back to above $63.8k.

Solana (SOL) broke above $143 with over 10% gains, while altcoins such as Sui, Aptos, Bittensor, and Avalanche recorded more than 12% respectively.
