2026 opening market trend, do you clearly feel it?

The Meme season has indeed returned. But this time, it's a bit special — the leaders are not newly launched coins; they are all familiar old faces we have known for a long time. NEIRO, PNUT, PEPE, one after another, taking turns to surge, with daily increases of over 20%. That familiar feeling has completely returned.

Interestingly, mainstream coins like BTC and ETH are still oscillating repeatedly, while these veteran coins with a solid user base have already started to move. It seems it's not just a coincidence but more like testing the market's true sentiment and chip distribution. As long as the consensus is still alive, it’s much easier to push the market up.

Based on this observation, the opportunities in 2026 are likely hidden among those old coins that have experienced deep declines but still retain popularity. This current wave might just be the appetizer.

But the more this happens, the more you need to stay calm:

Don't rush in at the first sign of a rise, as you might get crushed. Don't rush to exit after a 20% rebound either, as you might just miss the main upward phase. Carefully observe key support levels, especially whether the daily chart can hold steady, and then decide what to do based on that.

Will this popularity driven by Dogecoin spread to more Meme coin sectors? It’s definitely worth paying more attention to.

What’s your judgment? How long do you think this Meme market trend will last? Which coin are you currently holding?

MEME7.84%

NEIRO12.85%

PNUT10.16%

PEPE26.03%

I did jump on the PEPE wave, and now I kind of regret not stocking up more.

The old coin rotation pump-and-dump tactic, seen it once last year. Can it really continue?

The old faces are making a comeback, but don't get carried away by the 20% increase.

PEPE's surge back then, I didn't buy the dip, it was truly incredible. Now chasing the high? Don't even think about it. Old coins definitely have their magic, but how long this can last, I really can't say. Consensus is something that can be alive one moment and dead the next. I'll just wait and see. The Meme season will always come back, and I will always be unable to catch up. On the day NEIRO surged, I didn't even look at the market. Truly, life's regrets are like that. Instead of stressing over what to hold, it's better to think about how not to get crushed. It's easier to say that the daily chart stabilizes than to actually make it happen. If this wave is just an appetizer, how fierce must the main course be? Waiting online, can someone tell me where the bottom is? Is the popularity spreading? I think it's more likely just an acceleration of chopping the leeks.
