The rebound of Meme coins is a signal of market sentiment warming up, but it cannot yet be confirmed as a long-term trend.
In early 2026, the market capitalization of Meme coins rebounded by over 20% within a week, with trading volume nearly tripling, led by DOGE and PEPE. Historically, such combinations are not uncommon. A strong performance of Meme coins usually indicates that market risk appetite is recovering, because only when funds are willing to take on high volatility and high uncertainty will Meme coins attract attention. However, a warming sentiment does not equal a trend reversal. Meme coins are more like a "thermometer" of the market, rather than a steering wheel; they reflect whether funds are willing to take risks, not a decision for long-term entry.
Looking at past market cycles, a true bull market is usually accompanied by stable trends in mainstream coins and improved trading volume structures. Although Meme coins often start early, they also tend to fizzle out early. Therefore, it is reasonable to view this round of Meme coin rebound as a "preliminary signal that the market may strengthen," but directly equating it with the start of a bull market is overly optimistic.
For me, the rise of Meme coins is more like a reminder that the market is beginning to dare to bet, but it’s not yet time to go all-in. #Meme币板块回暖
