On Monday, when the Asia session first opened, the meme coin sector was even more lively than BTC. To be honest, BTC is still stuck at 64586, fighting tooth and nail at 65k, and yet PEPE has already floated up +2.17% in the past 24 hours—pretty surprising.
Why did PEPE rally on Monday? My own take is that over the weekend BTC was grinding and going nowhere, while the main capital went to churn volumes in smaller coins to chase short-term gains. Once BTC direction becomes clear, they’ll switch back. This kind of play is quite common in a low-volume market: when the big coins don’t move, memes often get a premium.
But the sector is clearly split too—take a look:
- PEPE +2.17%—basically the leader in this meme basket
- BONK is roughly flat, stuck at the bottom with nobody lifting it
- WIF +0.13%—so weak it might as well not have risen
- DOGE is actually -0.39%—even the big brother isn’t keeping up
Honestly, this structure says a lot. Capital is picking targets, not doing a broad-based rally—this is precise sniping.
A few risk points from me:
1. A lot of the meme rally on Monday is driven by “no clear main theme, emotion-led momentum.” As soon as BTC breaks out on volume or gets dumped, the funds can leave at any time.
2. Coins like PEPE with high volatility rally fast and crash even faster. If you don’t have a stop-loss habit, don’t touch them.
3. People who can truly hold meme coins long-term are either keeping their position size extremely low (within 5%) or they’re planning to “lie dead” and hold through it—otherwise they won’t survive the pullback.
My own plan for Monday: keep meme exposure under 5%. Only when there’s a volume breakout at the 30-minute timeframe will I test with a small position—no heavy chasing. I’ll also keep an eye on SOL this week, since memes on the SOL chain are the main battlefield for this narrative.
Do you guys mess with memes on Monday? Is it PEPE or WIF? Has BONK already been forgotten by everyone?
