After nearly three months of continuous correction, the crypto market has finally experienced a decent rebound. What’s particularly interesting about this rally is that it has taken on a clear "stepwise" pattern—starting with the Meme sector, which began to move at the beginning of the month, with an overall market cap increase of about 30%. Although it’s still too early to call it a bull market, this wave of market activity is definitely sending a signal: market risk appetite is rapidly warming up.
Looking closely at this rebound, several noteworthy phenomena can be observed.
First, established Meme coins have become the main drivers of the rebound. It’s not the new small coins that are surging randomly, but rather larger, highly liquid projects like DOGECOIN, SHIBA INU, and PEPE leading the charge. PEPE alone has surged 65% this month, firmly establishing itself as the leader. These coins, backed by years of community accumulation and amplified by social media, quickly caught up after the market stabilized, further driving other tokens like WIF, BONK, BROCCOLI, and PENGU to follow suit.
Second, on-chain activity indicators are also beginning to recover. The surge in blue-chip Meme coins reflects an increase in market participation and capital seeking new hotspots. This shift in sentiment often spills over into other sectors.

Pepe increased by 65%. Why didn't I get on board? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have hesitated.

I like the term "stepwise increase." PEPE 65% directly takes off. Old coins are really resilient.

lol "classic exit pump pattern" incoming... pepe up 65% and everyone suddenly believes the cycle resets. nah actually if you read the vesting schedules these memes just started dumping allocations. watch the liquidations go crazy when sentiment flips, calling it now

The stepwise increase, huh? Let's wait and see. First, see how long PEPE's 65% rise can hold before getting excited.
---
Meme coins leading the charge, it's not new anymore. The consensus among old coins is solid.
---
Talking about risk appetite warming up is just talk. To really be optimistic, other sectors need to catch up as well.
---
On-chain activity recovery? I feel like it's still retail investors trading among themselves.
---
A 30% increase sounds impressive, but compared to the market two years ago, it's still a baby.
---
The "Iron Triangle" of DOGE, SHIBA, and PEPE is back alive. The community foundation is just different.
---
Don't just focus on Meme coins. The real opportunities should be in the overlooked ecosystem coins.
---
A rebound after three months of correction is basic operation. The key is whether it can break through the previous high.
---
Spilling over into other sectors? Just listen. Meme coin hype will last at most another two months.

PEPE up 65%? Got it, it's time to sell again. History always repeats itself, buddy.

Old coins have surged so much, is there still hope for new coins?
PEPE 65% is daring to chase, truly... I admire
Wait, how long can this rebound last? Feels like another round of chopping the leeks
It's just meme hype, no real application, just hype
I only believe when I see on-chain data rebound, which shows genuine funds are entering
Anyway, I’ve been trapped for three months. Once I break even, I’ll sell and never be greedy again
This "stepwise" increase sounds comfortable, but why is it so hard to buy the dip in reality?

PEPE has surged 65%, and it's really hard to hold back now. This move definitely has some substance, but we'll have to see if it can break new highs later on.

When PEPE was up 65%, I was still hesitating. Now seeing the increase, my mindset is shattered...
