The market has just started to warm up a bit, and the ones charging at the very front are actually this bunch of “old-school memes.”

After hiding through this long bear market, everyone thought the rebound would start with the major mainstream coins first—turns out this time, the longtime meme crew has all collectively gotten it together.
In the past 24 hours’ gainers leaderboard, let’s just show everyone the numbers:
SHIB: +36% (The king returns—first by a wide margin)
PEOPLE: +19%
ORDI: +13%
FLOKI: +10%
WIF: +9%
PEPE: +8%
PENGU: +7%
BONK: +7%
DOGE: +5%
GIGGLE: +4%
This move is pretty interesting.

1. Old memes are rallying together, not a brand-new narrative
SHIB, DOGE, and PEPE are all familiar faces from “the last cycle.” This time, they’re actually leading the rebound first, which suggests the first wave of money when market sentiment warms up often sprints into the places where “belief is deepest.”

2. SHIB’s 36% gain is downright explosive
It leads by a wide margin in this broad-based rally; volatility is turned all the way up—an archetypal “usually doesn’t move, but when it does, it’s shocking” candidate.

3. ORDI is on the list too—pretty unexpected
As a representative of the inscription track, being able to stand alongside SHIB and DOGE in this meme rebound indicates that the liquidity is indeed following the logic: “the more it drops, the colder sentiment gets for longer, and the stronger the rebound is when it turns.”

In bear markets, meme coins often fall the hardest and see liquidity dry up the fastest. So once sentiment turns around, capital usually rushes back into these “high-beta” tickers first—basically a sentiment-indicator-level signal.
