Recent market data indicates a **revival in meme coin activity**, characterized by a return of investor risk appetite and significant gains for **large-cap tokens** like Dogecoin and Pepe. However…

There is this rigid sequence to how capital flows and it revolves almost entirely around Bitcoin stability.

The order books just dry up.
