From a historical market perspective, there is an interesting phenomenon: whenever a new bull market is about to start, MEME-type assets tend to be the first to move, becoming the "vanguard" of the market, and then driving the entire market to follow suit.

This cycle seems to be repeating itself. Recently, MEME-related cryptocurrencies like PEPE and DOGE have been performing quite strongly, maintaining a robust momentum. Many are wondering if this is a sign that a larger market rally is imminent.

From a technical and market sentiment perspective, there are some clues worth paying attention to. The movements of MEME coins often reflect the market's emotional temperature; when these high-risk assets start to stand out, it usually indicates that market risk appetite is increasing.

Of course, this is just one possible signal in market operation, and how to interpret it depends on your own trading plan. What do you think about the performance of this wave of MEME coins? Between PEPE and DOGE, which one is more worth watching? Feel free to share your thoughts.

MEME-0,43%

PEPE3,19%

DOGE2,43%

Listen, MEME coins are just going up, I’m a DOGE supporter, PEPE flashy and pointless --- Here comes the "Vanguard" again, this spiel happens every round, just depends on who bets right --- I just want to know if this is a real signal or another show to cut the leeks --- PEPE is too hard to understand, better to hop on DOGE, at least it has some historical backing --- Why does it feel like this article is hinting that we should go all in? No way, my wallet says NO --- When MEME coins heat up, it indicates risk appetite is rising; when MEME coins fall, it shows risk aversion is kicking in. Either way, it’s a hat you can wear --- If there’s a bigger trend, I need to act fast; I can’t afford to wait --- DOGE at least has a narrative, PEPE just relies on hype, no need to choose --- Every time it’s "clues worth paying attention to," but after paying attention for a while, it’s still just following the crowd and losing money --- I’m just watching, not chasing this wave. Feels like the whole market is waiting for the main rally, and jumping in now might just be catching the bag

PEPE's recent move is indeed quite aggressive, but I still prefer DOGE's foundation, after all, the ecosystem is definitely there.

PEPE's recent surge is indeed fierce, but saying it's the vanguard team somehow feels a bit like hindsight bias. Holding DOGE feels more stable, maybe I'm just a coward, haha.

MEME coins' rise depends on DOGE. This guy never lets me down. It surged in the morning and got hammered down, but that's the rhythm... The real bull market is here, and all these trash coins are bound to explode. Speaking of history, with so many cycles, it's always the same pattern. Why should I wait for signals? Just go all in.

MEME coins take off, it always feels like they're setting us up Really? Will this time be different? Question mark DOGE is more stable, PEPE is too gambling-oriented History repeats itself but is never exactly the same, still need to be cautious When it rises, everything is good; when it falls, it's all trash—this is the crypto world

I'm tired of MEME coin being the first to activate this logic; every time it's said, it ends up backfiring. It's just gambler's mentality; out of ten people chasing PEPE and DOGE, nine and a half end up losing.
