Crypto market feels unpredictable, and the biggest action is coming from meme coins and smaller altcoins rather than Bitcoin. PEPE, BONK, and SHIB are moving fast, and traders are reacting emotionally to every green and red candle.

PEPE surged suddenly this morning, pulling in traders who didn’t want to miss out. Some jumped in thinking it would keep rising, while others sold quickly out of fear. That tug-of-war between hope and panic is driving the price swings we’re seeing now. Liquidations added fuel to the move, making the drop sharper than expected for late buyers.

BONK also caught attention after a few hours of green candles, and that drew in short-term traders chasing quick profits. The moment some start taking gains, others panic, and prices swing hard in both directions. Meme coins like this move on attention, not fundamentals, and today’s moves prove it again.

Meanwhile, older tokens like SHIB are quietly bouncing as traders rotate back into familiar names. That rotation creates extra volatility, because when everyone reacts at once, pumps and dumps happen faster.

Right now, watching the market carefully is more important than chasing hype. Emotional swings are loud, and they tell the story better than any chart.
