Cryptocurrency Bull Run
The last bull run started in February 2021 and ended in Q1 of 2022. Leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu printed double-digit profits for investors.

However, what goes must always come down and when the party ends, the meme coin might plummet to a new low. Peanut the Squirrel has already peaked in price and another leg-up from here remains questionable. It is already retracing in price as investors are indulging in profit bookings.

Meme coins are usually a hit and a miss, and another bull run from here could come only through luck.
