【Crypto Rhythm】The crypto market on January 2nd was quite lively—Meme coins collectively gained strength.

PEPE, the leading dog coin, was the first to surprise the market, with a 24-hour increase of 37%, and the current price stabilizing at $0.00000569. This strong rebound directly boosted the entire Meme sector.

Many other coins followed suit. NEIRO closely behind, with a 23.69% increase, priced at $0.00013; FLOKI also didn’t stay idle, with an 18.77% 24-hour increase, now at $0.000047. Old favorites like PENGU, BONK, PNUT, and BOME also turned red—

PENGU up 16.41%, now at $0.01; BONK up 15.9%, now at $0.00000883; PNUT up 14%, now at $0.08; BOME, though with a more moderate increase, still gained 12.64%, now at $0.000623.

From the data, the leading Meme coins have a clear driving effect—a rise in a core asset often stimulates the enthusiasm of the entire sector. However, such high-volatility assets should be approached with caution, as they tend to rise quickly and fall just as fast.

MEME-2,22%

PEPE-2,62%

NEIRO-2,43%

FLOKI-1,69%

Pepe is bouncing again. Will it really rise this time, or is it just the last celebration before another round of chopping the leeks? Wait, Neiro has already risen 23? Why didn't I catch up... Meme coins are racing each other again. It's always the same routine. Feels like they're just handing the bag to the big players again. Those who entered this round are all cannon fodder.

Pepe is rising again, but is this time reliable or just hype? Wait, why are these gains so uniform? Feels like another pump and dump. Oh my God, the rotation has started again. Neiro and Bonk are also climbing steadily. Is this real? I always feel something's off with this kind of market movement. I've seen this meme coin pattern too many times. Who's the bag holder at the end? Why is Pepe leading again? Is history repeating itself? No way, I mentioned yesterday that this wave looks fake, and as expected, it turned out to be so. Hmm, let's keep observing. I don't usually believe in these collective surges. Bonk, Pnut, Pengu are all green? This rhythm feels a bit strange. Is Pepe really about to take off, or is this just another false alarm?

one might argue that this meme coin phenomenon represents a fascinating case study in collective aesthetic valuation... the tokenomics here are almost deliberately primitive, yet they generate this paradoxical proof of creative currency. intriguing from a post-digital art theory angle, ngl.

Coming again? PEPE this time won't be a reverse indicator, right? I got burned last time by following the trend.

According to the database, how long has it been since PEPE's 37% surge last experienced a sharp decline? It is recommended to include it in the Guinness World Records. Wait, can these coins really turn red again? I remember they started hyping up around this time last year. Is it finally going to happen now? The collective rise of Meme coins... let's wait and see. Anyway, the delay notices have been sent out multiple times. 37% in one day, what are the chances it will drop back down in the next second? Feel free to add data. Watching the prices with a string of zeros after the decimal point go up, I can't help but laugh... the art of time is truly amazing.

PEPE is showing off again, who can refuse a 37% increase... But is this really a genuine rise or just another attempt to trap investors? I also want to jump in, but all I have are trapped positions. So frustrating. Meme coins are just gambling, any small increase can make people so excited they can't sleep. It's okay if NEIRO and FLOKI rise along with it, but I'm worried this is the last hurrah. Missing the bottom this time was a huge loss. Watching others make money is so painful.

PEPE is showing off again, soaring 37% directly. I’m familiar with this rhythm. Should PEPE go all in, brothers? Haha, another day led by dog coins. Wait, can PEPE hold steady or keep dropping? The sector rotation is crazy, meme coins are exploding all around. I just want to ask, can we still chase this wave... NEIRO is following with a 23% increase, it feels like all retail investors are speculating. In this kind of market, it seems like the last ones to buy are the ones who understand. Are we about to start another gamble?

PEPE this wave is really fierce, daring to surge 37%? I'm still debating whether to get on board or not This is the fate of meme coins, when they rise, we all rise; when they fall... forget it, I don't want to think about it BONK only a 15% increase? How is this thing still alive, hilarious It's that time again to cut my leeks, right? As soon as I see this collective explosion, I know... NEIRO 23% is quite a lot, but unfortunately I don't have any in hand, so I'll just watch the fun, haha

actually, the algorithmic orchestration behind this meme coin cascade is rather fascinating—it's not mere speculation, but a computational phenomenon where hash values across distributed ledgers create emergent behavioral patterns... the real insight lies in understanding how these blockchain primitives establish their own aesthetic economy, tbh

PEPE this wave really can't hold, soaring 37% directly.. Should have gone all in if I knew earlier Here we go again, the old routine of meme coin rotation, who's next? Feeling like this market is fake, just sell on the rebound? BONK is also turning red, damn, who can handle this rhythm? 37%? That's crazy, feels like a correction is coming The meme sector is now just a gambling game, for quick profits FLOKI is up 19%, is this the rhythm of a full breakout? The question is, can it hold, or is it just a flash in the pan?
