Where is the meme-coin hype curve today?

For sentiment to be recovering, it needs to show up in price moves. Otherwise, it's just talk.

With meme coins, first check whether the leaders have volume, then see whether the smaller coins dare to follow.

PEPE 0.00000421 (+5.25%), WIF 0.2222 (+3.93%), BONK 0.00000347 (+2.97%), DOGE 0.0868 (+2.01%)

For comparison: BTC 83581 (24h +0.86%).

PEPE is up +5.25% over 24h, clearly outperforming BTC at +0.86%, with independent buying demand. But SHIB is up only +1.85%—there's no sector-wide confirmation. Stick to the leaders; don't fantasize about laggards catching up.

BTC is still at 83581 (+0.86%). Until BTC gets above 84,250, I consider meme coins' right-side action noise.

BTC is the switch for meme coins: unless it gets above 84199, I don't consider gains in smaller coins a sector-wide move.

When meme coins aren't outperforming BTC, are you still holding them?

Useful takeaway: Lower L2 fees don't mean security equivalent to mainnet; exit windows and sequencers are both risks.
Food for thought: VIX <16: You can follow sentiment during a slow grind higher in U.S. stocks; reduce futures positions by one notch first.
