Meme market: which moves first, the leaders or the small caps?

If the leader doesn’t bring volume, I won’t listen to the stories of any small coins.

First, check whether the meme leader has volume; then see whether the small caps are brave enough to follow.

BONK 0.00000376 (+5.92%), WIF 0.2432 (+2.92%), PEPE 0.00000427 (+1.43%), SHIB 0.00000573 (+0.70%)

For comparison: BTC 83040 (24h -1.09%).

BONK’s 24h +5.92% is clearly stronger than BTC’s -1.09%, with independent buy pressure. But DOGE is only -1.64%; the sector isn’t syncing. Focus on the leader only—don’t dream about laggards playing catch-up.

BTC is still at 83040 (-1.09%). If BTC can’t reclaim 83,704, then on my end the right-side meme moves are just noise.

If the gap between the leader and the weakest one narrows to within 2 percentage points—once the independent buy pressure disappears, I’ll clear the position.
