On the first trading day of 2026, just as the morning session was about to close, the market experienced an interesting shift.

Altcoins collectively gained momentum, with products from a certain leading exchange performing well on the gainers list, though the overall increase was moderate. What truly surprised everyone was the MEME sector, as the long-lost profit-making effect made a comeback. NEIRO, PEPE, DOGE, USELESS—these are rushing forward one after another, with fierce competition for the top spots.

Staking and DeFi are also not to be outdone, with SSV and AERO leading the charge, indicating high enthusiasm. In comparison, AI proxy tokens currently haven't gained much momentum.

The performance of established mainstream coins has been somewhat polarized. FIL, DOT, and APT are attracting attention, while ICP, NEAR, and AVAX are performing more steadily.

These are my actual observations while watching the market. Will the US stock market's evening opening continue to rally and fully ignite the 2026 market trend? Honestly, no one can say for sure. I still stick to my approach—seeking steady progress, aiming to make money, and not chasing quick gains.

MEME12,72%

NEIRO21,67%

PEPE36,28%

DOGE8,98%

MEME is starting to explode again, this is true quick money, steady progress is probably just something you tell others People following AI代理 are probably feeling very overwhelmed right now Staking and DeFi suddenly gaining momentum, someone is quietly布局ing If the US stock market doesn't perform well tonight, this wave of热度 probably won't last until tomorrow DOT and APT are rising, my ICP is still sleeping, incredible DOGE surging in rankings is very normal, the key is whether NEIRO can catch this wave The profit-making effect has returned, but so have the risks, don't get caught off guard Those who坚持稳中求进 are definitely people who have already lost money

Damn, the MEME section is alive again. It should have been like this a long time ago. --- NEIRO and PEPE, let's go all in. This is the crypto world I know. --- The saying "seek progress while maintaining stability" is well put, but it's easier said than done. --- Watch the US stock market open. It seems we still have to wait. --- Staking is hot, DeFi is also booming, but AI is still sleeping? --- Mainstream coins polarize; these days are the hardest to endure. --- The profit-making effect is indeed back, but how long it can last is hard to say.

meme velocity is absolutely unhinged rn. neiro & pepe printing like someone flipped the sentiment switch back on. classic pre-euphoria positioning tbh
