In the past few days, Meme coins have experienced a collective surge, with mainstream altcoins like PEPE, DOGE, FLOKI, and others advancing together, igniting market sentiment. Many investors are beginning to speculate: Is the Meme bull market really here?

To be honest, this wave of increase seems sudden, but the underlying logic is quite clear. The core remains the change in capital flow. After Bitcoin stabilizes, idle funds from institutions and retail investors start seeking high-volatility assets as an emotional outlet. Due to their inherent community attributes and speculative nature, Meme coins become the best vehicles for this. As a result, PEPE leads the charge, followed by SHIB, NEIRO, PNUT, WIF, and others, creating a sector-wide rally.

This is a typical "risk sentiment release" phase. The logic of capital can be divided into two parts: one is to add positions in those leading Meme coins that experienced significant declines earlier; the other is to preemptively position in newer projects that haven't risen much yet. The result is a market-wide ignition.

But there's a key understanding to clarify here: the main driving force behind this rally is emotion, not fundamental improvement. The characteristics are threefold—rapid gains, exploding trading volume, and emotion-driven sentiment. This type of market is suitable for trading but not for long-term holding.

For different participants, strategies should also differ: those already holding positions can continue to hold but must closely monitor volume changes; those who haven't entered yet might wait for a pullback to buy in at lower prices; those looking to open new positions should choose today’s strong performers rather than chase the winners from two days ago.

Honestly, this market cycle tests trading discipline. The real profit-makers are often not those who have been optimistic from the start, but those who can remain rational when the market is crazy. Whether there will be a second chance to enter depends largely on whether trading volume can continue to support the rally.

MEME-3.07%

Trading volume is not enough, any further rise is pointless The emotional market is like this, don't forget to cut losses while making quick money PEPE's recent surge is a bit fierce, but I still wait for a pullback before entering If the volume can't support it, it's doomed. I've learned my lesson from past losses Chasing the rise and getting cut has happened before, now I’ve learned to be smarter That's right, holding positions depends on trading volume, otherwise you'll get trapped sooner or later Who can hold on through this round will make money, but I don't have that kind of patience MEME coins are hot, but don't go all in, everyone Watching PNUT surge wildly makes me a bit itchy, but I still have to hold back I bought some NEIRO early this morning, let's see if I can catch the bottom

Trading volume is the real daddy, emotions are just smoke and mirrors --- PEPE is leading again, which is honestly a bit disgusting, but definitely worth chasing --- I think this wave is just funds finding an outlet, don’t overestimate your cleverness --- Coins that rely on emotions to survive, when the tide turns, they’ll crash hard, be cautious --- Wait for a pullback before entering, those rushing to the top are just catching the bag --- Those holding positions, don’t be greedy, if the volume suddenly drops, you’ll have to run --- Ultimately, it’s about who reacts fastest; slow responses turn you into a leek (loser) --- Why chase the biggest gains from the past two days? Isn’t that just asking for trouble? --- Meme coins are just gambling, don’t treat them as investments --- If the trading volume can’t support it, it’s just an air castle, be aware --- I really don’t understand how some people dare to hold heavy positions in this stuff --- Emotional markets test discipline the most, most people lose because of greed --- DOGE is acting up again, can it really last this time? --- The best time to buy low is the hardest to judge, better wait for clear signals --- The market can turn at any moment, stay alert

If the trading volume can't hold up, this wave will be another feast of cutting leeks. Wait for the pullback before getting in again; don't let emotions drive your decisions. Is PEPE still around? I already sold early; now those chasing are just bagholders. The ones truly making money are the sellers, not the miners. When trading volume skyrockets, be cautious—it's probably a sign of distribution. Only move after a breakout; entering now is just giving away your money. History repeats itself—this time, is it really different? LOL. Sticking to discipline is much harder than just predicting the right direction.

Emotional market trends are like this; quick in and out is the way to go. When trading volume reverses, I’ll exit. Don’t talk to me about fundamentals. PEPE has been really fierce this round, but those chasing quick profits often die just as fast. Brothers holding positions should pay attention to trading volume; this is the line of life and death. Friends who haven't entered the market yet, don’t rush. The best part is yet to come. Chasing gains and selling on dips is the graveyard for retail investors. Wake up, everyone. Trading discipline is above all. When the market is crazy, staying calm is actually an opportunity.

Market sentiment tests your mentality the most, got it --- PEPE is really fierce this time, but when the volume drops, it's time to run --- Wait for a pullback before going in again, don't get caught up in emotions --- I've said it before, memes are just about the hype, fundamentals are nonsense --- Holdings need to be watched; when trading volume shrinks, they slip away immediately --- This is just a game of musical chairs; who gets the chair depends on the volume --- Chasing strength rather than the previous champion—I agree with this approach --- If the volume can't support it, everything is just an illusion; I've seen too much of this --- Those who truly make money are the ones who don't greed; I am disciplined this time --- PEPE leading the pack doesn't mean others can catch up; choosing the wrong asset is a death sentence
