Meme market: who moves first, the leaders or the small caps?
For sentiment to recover, prices need to rise. Otherwise, it’s just talk.
Gauge sentiment by price moves, not by hype in group chats.
PEPE 0.00000477 (-5.36%), SHIB 0.0000045 (-5.46%), WIF 0.1610 (-6.12%), BONK 0.00000284 (-6.88%)
For comparison: BTC 75460 (24h -6.26%).
Even leader PEPE is only at -5.36%; the weakest, DOGE, is at -7.71%. Memes are bleeding, so talking about a sentiment recovery is self-deception.
The switch for memes is BTC: unless it gets above 80918, I won’t count gains in small caps as a sector-wide move.

Key takeaway: If the leaders have no volume, gains in small caps are mostly wash trading.
Insight: Fear & Greed >75: lively, but don’t add the first tier of leverage.
