From Memes to Market Structure: Why This Rally Matters
-

The latest memecoin bounce is unfolding alongside improving technical conditions across the broader altcoin market. TOTAL3 — the total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ether — has climbed 22% in just two days, reflecting renewed appetite for risk and dip-buying behavior after December’s pullback.
Sentiment also received a cultural catalyst after Vitalik Buterin switched his profile picture to a meme NFT, briefly igniting enthusiasm across meme-related assets. While this alone doesn’t guarantee a sustained rally, the combination of improving market structure, rising risk tolerance, and speculative energy suggests memecoins could remain volatile focal points as 2026 approaches.
