I believe the core rhythm of the 2026 market can already be seen.
January marks the official launch of Meme coins. The two veteran tokens, PEPE and DOGE, are showing clear signs of recovery, and this time they have directly taken the lead in the Chinese Meme coin scene. The fact that exchanges are willing to list new Meme projects at this stage indicates what? It shows that the liquidity foundation is still not deep enough, and consensus is still being built. However, those who dare to be the first to deploy are often the most敏锐 ones.
Starting in February, technical indicators will show a turning point. The anticipated upgrade of ETH is expected to reignite market enthusiasm, shifting from purely Meme sentiment narratives to a more technical-driven approach. This is a crucial emotional transition point.
March will truly kick off the clone season. Once BNB breaks through certain volume thresholds, smaller and mid-cap coins will follow suit — that’s the pattern.
In April, watch BTC’s performance. The market generally expects it to surge toward around $180,000. But this is not the end; once a psychological barrier is broken, it signals that more incremental funds will follow.
In May, be cautious. This month, the entire market is in FOMO mode, with the highest risk levels. Any pullback could trigger a chain reaction, so risk exposure needs to be controlled.
If we can get through June, Meme coins and mainstream tokens will form a kind of dance, marking the climax of this wave.
From a data perspective, changes in whale addresses often reflect the next phase of capital flow. Some large holders’ adjustments in holdings are already hinting at a new trend. This is not just market fluctuation; it’s a precise reflection of market participants’ emotional cycles and capital allocation. All the previous accumulation is preparing for this upcoming heat-up.
Are you a pure believer in Meme coins, or do you trust the technical logic more? Leave a comment and share your position strategy. Looking back at this analysis five months from now will make things even clearer.

That risk warning in May was really intense; I've seen a few cases last year where FOMO buyers got burned.

nah man, whale address transitions are literally just market entropy dressed up in quantitative drag. the real alpha leak happens three blocks before the mempool fills but sure, let's pretend bnb volume breaks mean something deterministic lmao

That May, I was really scared of the FOMO, and controlling risk is absolutely right.

That May FOMO wave is probably going to cut a lot of people's leeks.

May's Nabo FOMO really can't be contained; those who sell off will all be the bagholders.

We really have to hold the line in May, or all the gains made earlier will be for nothing.

I was really afraid of the FOMO wave in May; I got caught off guard just like that last time.
