• All non-stablecoin top 10 cryptocurrencies have experienced growth, some reaching triple digits.
• Meme-based cryptocurrencies have dominated the charts.
• Analysts have warned of a potential market correction despite the bullish sentiment.

The cryptocurrency market has seen significant movement in the top 10 rankings this week, with several newcomers and impressive gains across the board. This follows a period of explosive growth, with all non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies in the top 10 experiencing gains, and some even reaching triple digits.

Shiba Inu Blasts Into the Top 10

Leading the charge is Shiba Inu , a newcomer to the top 10 list. This meme-based cryptocurrency saw a massive 130% gain, surpassing established names like Chainlink , Polkadot , and Tron in market capitalization. Fellow memecoin Dogecoin followed closely behind with a 64% gain.

While the overall sentiment remains optimistic, some analysts are expressing concerns about potential overheating. The fear and greed index, a measure of market sentiment, is currently indicating an overheated market, and some technical indicators also suggest potential for a correction.

Despite these concerns, the majority of the top 10 cryptocurrencies experienced significant growth this week. BNB and Tron exhibited the smallest gains at 7.55% and 2% respectively, while others like Solana , Cardano , and Bitcoin saw gains exceeding 20%.
