*Today's article: Meme coins lead the market and PEPE sets it off - October 28, 2026*

Today, October 28, 2026, the crypto market came roaring back to life. Bitcoin broke the 80,000$ barrier again and reached *80,857$*, up 1,5%, but today's real stars are meme coins.

*1. PEPE: Queen of the day*

PEPE is the number one coin you're following. Its current price is *0,00000495$*, up *+15,41%* in just 24 hours. Its movement is wild:

- Today's low: 0,00000427$
- Today's high: 0,00000505$
- Difference: 18% in a single day!

The reason? Wallets linked to Justin Sun, founder of TRON, bought $51 million worth of PEPE. When a whale buys, the little fish follow. Its volume is $626 million today, meaning lots of people are buying and selling every minute.

PEPE's volatility is *13,95%*, which means it can rise 2% and fall 2% in an hour. That's what makes it suitable for scalping—buy when it dips and sell when it rises a little.

*2. Bitway (BTW): The surprise*

BTW gained *+33,75%* today. It's a new coin with very high volatility, so it's risky. It could earn you 30% in an hour and lose you 30% the next. I wouldn't recommend it if you're trading with small amounts.

*3. MemeCore (M): The competitor*

M gained *+15,50%*, almost the same as PEPE. It's a meme coin too, with low volume, which means it's easy for the price to rise and fall.

*4. The calm giants: DOGE and SHIB*

- DOGE: only +2,99%
- SHIB: only +2,83%

These are older meme coins that have become sluggish and don't move much. They're not suited to your every-hour trading strategy.
