MEME coins collectively explode, PEPE surges 22% in one day

Yesterday's market movement was completely unexpected—established MEME coins like PEPE, DOGE, and SHIB experienced a concentrated rally. PEPE was the most aggressive, with a single-day increase of 22%, and the storage and L2 sectors also followed suit. This round of movement seems more like a test run at the beginning of 2026 rather than a normal rebound.

But there's a trap to avoid here: many people stubbornly hold on during deep declines, only to panic and cut losses when the rebound reaches about 20%. This might be one of the most regrettable operations of the year.

To seize this wave, you need to stay calm:

1. Don't be driven by FOMO. Watching the market and participating are two different things.

2. Wait for key technical levels to be confirmed before acting. For example, DOGE near the middle band of the Bollinger Bands is a good reference point.

3. Recognize reality—MEME coins are extremely volatile, and those with weak psychological resilience are not suitable.

In the long term, MEME coins like DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE, which have gone through multiple cycles, remain the core of this track. But for short-term trading? More patience and discipline are required.

MEME8.37%

PEPE26.55%

DOGE11.63%

SHIB11.07%

Here comes the market to cut the leeks again, I’ll just watch without moving --- 22%? Why didn’t I buy the dip yesterday, so regretful --- If the decline is deep and the rebound can’t be held, just cut, no wonder you lose money --- Don’t believe in the rebound of PEPE this time, wait for it to fall again --- Bollinger Band middle line? Don’t give me these, it’s all luck-based --- MEME coins are just gambling, don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s investment --- After losing money once, I’ve learned my lesson, this time I’ll just watch the show honestly --- The promised 2026 market, why do I always feel like I’m getting cut? --- FOMO is the most deadly, I’ve already been scammed enough --- Not touching, my psychological resilience can’t keep up, really --- This wave’s increase is pretty good, but I dare not chase the high

It's the same pattern again: holding on tightly during deep dips and cutting losses during rebounds, essentially working for the big players. PEPE has been really fierce this time, but I believe the real profit-makers are those who can stay calm. Still that saying, MEME coins are gambling by nature. Without a strong and fearless mindset, I advise you not to touch them.

Haha, it's time to cut losses again. Isn't a 22% increase enough to be exciting? PEPE has been really fierce this time, but I'm just worried it might be a flash in the pan. Holding on stubbornly without selling is tough, MEME coin players are always doing this kind of thing. Wait, is this really different this time, or are we going to fall back again? I think DOGE is more stable, PEPE is too crazy, I really can't hold on. I heard that those who sold off the day before yesterday are now regretting it to the point of eating their guts. In the short term, what technical levels should we watch? It's just a gamble on people's sentiment. Bollinger Bands and such, I only rely on my intuition from the candlestick charts. With MEME coins, making money is easy, losing money is even easier, that's true. Could it just be over with one big bullish candle? My DOGE has been holding since the beginning of the year, I'm really about to go crazy. Can this rally reach last year's high? I'm a bit hopeful. Actually, the hardest part is not watching the market; once I do, I want to trade. PEPE's rapid rise makes me a little scared instead. Long term, I also believe in these few old coins, but honestly, it's really exhausting.

This wave of people cutting losses now regret it so much, 22% loss, how could they just not resist? This time is different, I feel like there's really some movement. Should I chase PEPE now? I'm conflicted... Hold tight during deep dips, sell on rebounds, typical rookie move, no mistake. Ladies, stay calm, don't FOMO again, remember the blood lessons from last time? Wait for the Bollinger Band middle line confirmation before entering, can we make some profit this time? MEME coins are really roller coasters, how strong does your heart need to be? Old coins are still old coins, this round probably won't end so quickly, right? Seeing others' rapid gains is really painful, but holding back from chasing might earn even more? DOGE is moving, SHIB is alive too, is this a signal? Psychological resilience is important, everyone, MEME coins are easy to break your mental defenses.

Another day of cutting losses, watching others make money, while I regret late at night. PEPE is really fierce this time, but few dare to go all-in. I've heard the Bollinger middle band strategy too many times; the key is to hold back your hand. MEME coins are like this—hard to make money, but losing money is more fun. If you bounce back 20%, you should look in the mirror. Is this really different this time, or are we just repeating last year's story? Those holding positions are gambling; those without are regretting. Anyway, it's all uncomfortable. I'll just watch quietly, waiting for the technicals to confirm before acting. The diamond hands probably regret their guts out now, for sure. As for DOGE, how long can this wave keep it popular? Who knows.
