The widespread rise of Meme coins in this round is no coincidence. To understand what is happening behind the scenes, we need to start from the micro-level market sentiment.

$PEPE led the rebound, which is actually testing investors' risk tolerance. When this signaling occurs, established Meme coins also follow suit, indicating what? The market is gradually accepting a "high volatility" trading environment.

From another perspective, when daily gains of 15%~30% become "commonplace" again, you can feel the shift in market risk appetite. This is not just a numbers game—it reflects a deep change in trader mentality.

Meme coins themselves are never the driving force; they are more like a thermometer of market sentiment. Novice traders may not see the pattern, but seasoned traders understand at a glance: the fluctuations of these tokens are direct signals of risk sentiment warming up. The performance of assets like $FLOKI, $BONK, and others all confirm the same conclusion—market risk-averse sentiment is gradually dissipating.

PEPE6,94%

FLOKI0,53%

BONK8,17%

Really, meme coins' rises and falls are just a thermometer of emotions. Just by watching PEPE's every move, you can tell what’s coming next. I just can't understand those who say meme coins have no value. A thermometer is the most useful tool, after all. NGL, this wave is indeed a bit something. A 15% daily increase has become routine, and market sentiment has changed. Wait, FLOKI and BONK are taking off together? How many institutions are secretly building positions? Risk aversion dissipates? It feels like another crazy wave is coming. Are we ready to catch the falling knives?

Thermometers are fine, but I see this as just a show of funds chasing hot spots. PEPE leads the way, and it's always like this—beginners follow the trend and keep buying in the most.

Thermometer says it well, but the real question is—are we still alive to see that day? --- I've long said that PEPE's exploration is just a matter of who dares to follow. --- A 15% increase is just average? Bro, you're lost in the thrill of risking it all on the edge. --- Is the risk aversion sentiment dissipating? I think those cutting losses finally ran out of money. --- Seasoned traders see it at a glance... I laughed, the veterans already ran at the top. --- I've heard this emotional theory too many times, each time claiming "signals are warming up," then another wave of halving. --- The performance of FLOKI and BONK indeed indicates a problem, but the issue is—people are no longer afraid of losing money. --- Market sentiment thermometer? Then the temperature we're measuring now is "the retail investors haven't lost hope yet."

Oh no, it's the same old theory again. Basically, it's just the gambler's mentality coming back. No matter how fancy the packaging, the essence doesn't change. --- Thermometer? I think it's more like a speedometer for the leek harvesters. --- I've seen it coming for a long time. As soon as risk appetite warms up, they rush into meme coins. Many people are definitely going to lose out this time. --- A 15-30% daily fluctuation is quite common... How much gambling spirit does it take to throw retirement money in? --- $PEPE exploration? Clearly a manipulator testing the waters, seeing how much blood the leeks still have. --- Finally understanding that meme coins are just a barometer of market excitement, but I won't follow this madness. --- What’s there to dissipate? Greed is back. Just wait for the crash. --- I understand, but I truly admire those who dare to chase this wave. --- Risk appetite shift sounds high-end, but it's really just gambling again, just a cycle.

Are you trying to scam me into playing meme again? Last time PEPE directly hit me with half, why should I trust you this time?
