【Crypto Rhythm】Bitcoin briefly broke above $97,000 on January 14th, but has been steadily declining in recent days, accelerating this morning. This correction has directly impacted previously surging Meme coins, with many high-profile tokens unable to withstand the pressure.

The performance of leading Meme coins clearly illustrates the situation. PEPE dropped 9.84% within 24 hours, down 28% from its peak on January 4th; BONK fell 10.42%, halving from its all-time high on January 6th by 30%; FLOKI also performed poorly, with an 8.85% decline in 24 hours, shrinking 27.6% from its high on January 6th.

But the most tragic are the emerging Meme coins. WhiteWhale plummeted 32.3% in 24 hours, collapsing from its high on January 10th to just 25%; RALPH was even worse, dropping 22.1% in 24 hours, losing 60% from its peak; the coin fish is outrageous, falling 53.9% in 24 hours, and from its high on January 8th, it has only 6% left, a complete bloodbath.

The days are also tough for Chinese concept coins. “I’m coming” fell 8.1% in 24 hours, down 65% from its high; “Laozi” declined 24.4%, off 86%; “Life K-line” dropped 17.8%, also down 85% from its peak. However, “An” managed to hold steady, rising 7.26% in 24 hours, but still down 41% from the high on January 14th; “Cry Cry Horse” fell 9.89% in 24 hours, down 58% from its peak.

Overall, this correction has affected the entire Meme coin ecosystem, from major coins to small tokens. Those that surged during the rebound are now collectively giving back gains, and investors should be cautious of risks.

BTC-1,98%

PEPE-8,4%

BONK-10,4%

FLOKI-8,6%

Damn, it's the same old trick again. Those who buy in at a higher point will have to take the loss again.

Damn, it's the same old story... Those following meme coins always end up losing. I've said it before. --- New coins crash the hardest, serves them right... Why did you have to chase the highs? --- 94%? How much can you gamble... My friend lost everything, now he doesn't even dare to look at his wallet. --- When BTC fluctuates, meme coins are doomed—remember this rule. --- White Whale dropped 25% directly... lost everything, even his underwear. This is gambling. --- Chasing new coins every day, no wonder you always lose. --- Pepe dropped 28%, what more is there to say? This is the fate of meme coins.

Bro, it's the same old story. Those who buy at high prices are going to get burned again. It's that old saying, HODL for the long term and all that. WhiteWhale dropped to 25%, how much mental resilience does that require? Bitcoin sneezes, and Meme coins all collapse—so true. New coins are always like this: rushing in at high prices, while at low prices, everyone is crying. RALPH was directly cut in half; luckily, I didn't touch it. Cold sweat. Someone will say it's time to buy the dip again, but a week later, it keeps falling. That's why I only dare to play with top-tier coins; the risk is a bit lower. Wait, does WhiteWhale still have a chance to turn around? If you want to buy the dip, Don't ask me. With my FOMO personality, I just want to stay away from this mess right now. Everyone has greed, but it's excessive to go bankrupt over it. The correction is normal, but the intensity is indeed a bit fierce. Such a big drop proves how crazy the previous rise was.

Damn, it's another round of cutting leeks... These new coins are getting worse and worse. When BTC drops, the entire market gets sacrificed, it's really incredible. PEPE, BONK—these top projects can't even hold up, let alone new coins. WhiteWhale was cut by 75%? Still waiting for the next hot trend. Happy New Year... and may your wallet stay happy too. This move reminded me of the last Luna incident; history always repeats itself. If I had known, I would have sold off on January 4th. Now I can only accept the loss. It feels like the Meme coin boom has just passed. What's next?

94%? Oh my god, what kind of divine coin is this? It’s dropping faster than my mood. Another round of chopping the leeks, BTC isn’t even stable yet and they dare to chase Meme coins. No wonder. BONK has been halved, oh my goodness, these new coins are really a bunch of birds scattering. WhiteWhale is only 25% of its high? Might as well just go to zero directly. How many people’s dreams have been shattered this time? Every time they say they’re going to buy the dip, they end up buying halfway up the mountain. This is how Meme coins are—when they rise, gods descend; when they fall, rats cross the street. No wonder some say this is gambling. A 94% drop—how does the coin owner still have the nerve to stay alive? Wait, who is that 94% coin in the title? Why isn’t it mentioned in the article?

Here comes the harvest again, this time it's meme coins Are those who bought the new coins at high prices doing okay? 94%? That's hilarious, this is the real Web3 experience When BTC moves, the entire army is defeated, indicating that only a few truly understand WhiteWhale's trend is really incredible, evaporating 75% in ten days Those who followed the trend and bought at the worst times are probably wanting to cry now Short-term surge and crash, this is the fate of meme coins Friends who bought at high prices, condolences, see you in the next bull market
