Memecoin market is heating up again.

From PEPE, SHIB to BONK, FLOKI, these tokens that were once marginalized in the market have recently achieved double-digit gains. Even more astonishing is that the total market capitalization of the Memecoin market has surpassed $50 billion, with dominance rebounding strongly from its historical lows.

Throughout last year, Memecoin's share in the altcoin market continued to decline. But starting from the beginning of this year, the situation took a sharp turn. The core indicator measuring Memecoin market influence began to emerge from the trough, and the total market value once again crossed the $50 billion threshold. This is not a minor fluctuation but a significant change in the market landscape.

The question is: what does this really mean?

One interpretation is that this is just a typical surge in speculative sentiment after the holiday — retail investors and institutions are both looking for the next big trend, and Memecoin, due to its low price and high volatility, has become a natural tool for speculation. But a more thought-provoking possibility is that the market's style is shifting. When institutional fund managers start paying attention to this sector, and data shows such a dramatic reversal, it indicates that capital flows and market expectations are being readjusted.

In moments of high risk and high reward, people's true thoughts are always laid bare. Those who choose to chase gains, those who choose to wait and see, and those who choose to short — every decision reflects an assessment of the market's next move. And the data will tell us how far this rebound can go.

PEPE-1,75%

SHIB-2,54%

BONK-5,56%

FLOKI-5,77%

This wave of memecoin is back, and it's time for retail investors to get chopped again --- PEPE doubling? I'll wait and see, I lost everything the last time it happened --- A market cap of 50 billion sounds scary, but have institutions really entered? It still feels like retail investors are pushing each other out --- People chasing the rally should probably be in the hospital now. That's the essence of memecoin --- Low price and high volatility = high returns? Laughable, it's usually just high losses --- I'm tired of hearing that post-holiday emotional outbreak is the reason. It's always the same explanation --- From 50 billion down to what point is the end? Anyway, I won't participate in this game

50 billion, so what? I'm still on the sidelines... --- PEPE this time is really gambling psychology --- Institutions are entering? Then retail investors should probably run away --- Another wave of cutting leeks, no problem --- Low price and high volatility are indeed exciting, but how long this can last is really hard to say --- Last year, I was bearish on memecoin, and now it's time to eat humble pie --- Capital rotation, is it meme's turn? I find it hard to believe --- 50 billion sounds impressive, but what about the actual trading volume?

Here we go again, the memecoin frenzy, is it our turn now? This time is different, big institutions are all here to scoop up the bottom, what does the $50 billion say? I was still sleeping when PEPE doubled, that was truly amazing. Wait, can this rebound last? It feels like it's going to crash again like last year. When retail investors rush in, that's the time to run. I don't believe you, "attention" from institutions is just a facade for bagholders. Double-digit gains? We'll have to see if it can hold steady afterward. Forget it, I'll keep observing. The waters of memecoin are too deep.

It's that time again to cut the leeks My friend said PEPE would double, but I'm still hesitating whether to buy or not... Have the institutions really come in? Or are they just storytelling again? Waking up to 50 billion, retail investors chasing the rise and taking the bait—it's really a bit hard to handle.

Is this another round of cutting leeks? I've seen through it long ago. I didn't move when PEPE was rising. --- 50 billion? Sounds impressive, but retail investors still end up losing everything. --- What does institutional entry indicate? It probably means it's time to escape, haha. --- Low price and high volatility = a dream of getting rich overnight? Wake up, shorting is the real way. --- The watch-and-wait group says: I won't participate this time, go gamble yourselves. --- Post-holiday speculative emotions are useless, history always repeats itself. --- Wait, is this time really different? I can't see it. --- Those chasing the rise are already trapped, this is my prediction.

Here comes the old trick again, changing the soup but not the medicine.

The 50 billion gate has opened, and on-chain data hasn't caught up yet. The eye of the FOMO storm is always the safest; we're all betting on who will be the last. The technical indicators look suspicious, but my finger is already on the buy button. Whale addresses are becoming active again; small investors should prepare for a harvest. Before going all-in, I calculated the liquidation price—so damn exciting. Basically, it's a bet on capital relay, hope you're not the last one to take over. How far can this rebound go? Let's wait for on-chain data to give a signal. The signs of institutional entry are so obvious; retail investors can still profit from following the trend.
