The market share of meme coins has once again fallen to a historic low.

Looking back, I made a similar observation on December 23rd. At that time, I pointed out that such lows also occurred in 2024, which then led to what? FLOKI, WIF, and PEPE surged by 440% to 2500% respectively. History is very easy to repeat.

After entering January, the meme coin sector indeed did not disappoint — in just one week, coins like USELESS, PEPE, BONK, and FARTCOIN all soared by 50% to 120%, and the overall market capitalization increased by over $10 billion. That momentum was truly fierce.

So, what is the current situation? BTC has broken through a key level, and mainstream cryptocurrencies are showing genuine appeal for the first time in months. The overall market sentiment is also starting to warm up. This is a good sign.

But what's interesting here is — the influence of meme coins has now returned to the levels seen on December 23rd and last February. And right after those two points in time, the entire industry experienced a wave of crazy thousand-fold gains. Several top meme coins have charted parabolas exceeding 1000%.

Therefore, my judgment is that this wave of market activity appears to be "building momentum."

I currently hold these coins, for a very simple reason — I believe they will significantly outperform in the upcoming rally:

- USELESS
- BONK
- FLOKI
- FARTCOIN

Which others will you add? Are there any meme coins you are bullish on?

FLOKI-4,27%

WIF-4,57%

PEPE-8,64%

USELESS-7,09%

No, does history really rhyme this much... I didn't bottom out during that wave in February last year, and now it's happening again? I'm also watching BONK and FLOKI, but I always feel this time isn't that simple.

Here comes the same old story of history repeating itself... Last time I heard you say PEPE rose over 2000 points, is it really happening this time or are you about to dump again? FARTCOIN, I have a feeling that thing is a bit shady. Why is the holding ratio so bizarre? Are you sure you're not the bagholder? That January surge was indeed fierce, but now with BTC acting up, I remain cautious. I do like BONK, but as for the others, just haha. A thousandfold? Friend, that's a pretty harsh term. The people who said last year that it would multiply a thousand times are still stuck holding. USELESS, that name really fits. I'm feeling pretty down.

Is history repeating? Then I'll go all in on these few. I've already gone all-in once, so doing it again isn't a big deal.

Damn, is it that node again? Last time I was like this, I made a killing, PEPE skyrocketed by 2500% I've been lurking for BONK and FLOKI for a while, just waiting for this wave Historical cycles are really amazing, meme coins at this position are just a ticking time bomb I haven't really paid attention to USELESS, are you sure? I'm still optimistic about DOGE, why isn't it on your list? Is it too late to get in now? Feeling a bit anxious Hearing you say that, I need to add more to my position... my wallet is about to take another hit Meme coins will never truly die, that's the first lesson I learned FARTCOIN is a great name, but the chart isn't bad at all I bet this time it will rise at least three to five times, everyone pessimistic, get out now

History is really repeating itself, and I now regret not adding more BONK earlier.

Damn, history is really repeating itself. I can't believe I missed the 2500% wave... --- FARTCOIN is an awesome name, just for that I have to get on board --- I was drooling over the 10 billion increase in January, is it happening again now? --- Wait, can USELESS really be used, or does it feel like a trap? --- BTC's move is really aggressive, is it time for meme coins to take the stage? --- A thousandfold madness sounds unbelievable, but it has indeed happened... I'm a bit tempted --- Are the four coins you picked already taking off? Is it still possible to get on now? --- Meme coins only have this breath, if there's no momentum, they fall really fast --- Who the hell followed PEPE's 2500% wave? They just won by default --- This judgment seems a bit too optimistic, the market isn't that simple

Damn, history really repeats itself. I watched the December wave pass me by, and this time I have to copy the homework.
