Meme Coin Daily (Issue 9 · Week 28, 2026)

01Market trends of popular meme tokens

This week, the Meme sector as a whole faced pressure, with major cryptocurrencies generally seeing pullbacks, except for PEPE, which showed relatively strong resistance to declines.

As of July 12, 2026, the market sentiment index stood at 53/100 (neutral range), but there was significant divergence within the Meme sector. DOGE is trading at $0.07264, with a 7-day decline of 4.1% (reflecting the overall market trend), and its 24-hour trading volume was $412.3M (indicating high liquidity but weak buying interest). SHIB is priced at $0.00000428, down slightly by 1.3% over 7 days. Despite the destruction of 117 million tokens on July 11, 2026, its price remained weak due to the massive circulating supply of 585 trillion tokens. PEPE is trading at $0.00000269, with only a 0.2% decline over 7 days, making it the most resilient asset. This is largely thanks to a Whale address associated with PEPE purchasing tokens worth approximately $3.58 million within 24 hours on July 11, 2026, resulting in a significant increase in on-chain holdings. BONK is priced at $0.00000397, with a sharp 21.3% drop over 7 days (indicating heavy capital outflows), while FLOKI dropped by 3.5% over the same period, and WIF fell by 13.2%, all showing varying degrees of pullback.

• Watch to see if continued buying by PEPE Whales will drive a rebound in the sector. • Be cautious of further breakdown risks for weaker cryptocurrencies like BONK.

02Popular On-Chain Pools and New Cryptocurrencies

As of 2026-07-12, on-chain activities in the Meme sector are characterized by both the empowerment provided by institutional infrastructure and strategic capital maneuvers by Whales.

1. Explosion of the Robinhood Chain ecosystem and upgrades to token issuance mechanisms: On 07-10, the TVL of Robinhood Chain reached $234 million in its first week, with $50 million in stablecoins injected by Ethena. The market value of the Meme token CASHCAT surpassed $100 million, recording a surge of 1,500%. On 07-12, the Meme platform Bags introduced token issuance capabilities on this chain, supporting a Bonding Curve mechanism that allows tokens to automatically migrate to Uniswap v4 once they meet certain criteria.

2. Large-scale accumulation of PEPE by Whales: On 07-11, 11 related addresses purchased a total of 1.299 trillion PEPE tokens within 24 hours, spending approximately $3.58 million. This action indicates that substantial funds are entering the market during periods of price consolidation, leading to a significant increase in on-chain holdings.

3. High activity and associated risks in the Solana Meme market: On 07-08, ANSEM saw a weekly gain of nearly 300%, driving the weekly trading volume of Pump.fun past $5.3 billion. However, issues such as robot-driven trading and fake matching orders are widespread, with retail investors holding tokens for an average of only 100 seconds, raising doubts about the sustainability of market recovery.

4. Price pressure from SHIB dumps: On 07-11, despite the destruction of over 109 million SHIB tokens in a single day, the high circulating supply of 585 trillion kept pushing SHIB’s price down by nearly 9%. On 07-09, bears were focused on the key support level of $0.0000010, increasing downward risks.

04Operation Recommendations and Risk Warnings

Operational Recommendations and Risk Warnings (Benchmark Date: 2026-07-12)

Operational Recommendations

1. Strategy for Tracking Whales’ Movements in PEPE (Time Frame: This Week) Given that data from 07-11 showed associated whale addresses purchasing approximately $3.58 million worth of PEPE tokens within 24 hours, and the current price of PEPE is $0.00000269 [Market Snapshot], it is recommended to closely monitor the impact of these capital inflows on price stability. If PEPE fails to rebound significantly following these whale purchases, instead falling below $0.00000250 with 24-hour trading volume below $100M, it may indicate that the whales’ buying is part of a wash trade or a trap to drive up prices. In such cases, investors should adopt a defensive stance and gradually reduce their holdings. Conversely, if the price holds above $0.00000270 with trading volume rising above $150M, it could signal a short-term bottom, prompting investors to consider building positions in stages.

2. Strategy for Managing Selling Pressure and Support Levels in SHIB (Time Frame: Next 2 Weeks) Despite the destruction of 117 million SHIB tokens in a single day on 07-11, SHIB’s price still dropped by nearly 9% due to its massive circulating supply of 585 trillion tokens, with the current price at $0.00000428 [Market Snapshot]. Additionally, data from 07-08 revealed that 600 billion SHIB tokens were transferred from dormant accounts to forwarding addresses, while exchange holdings exceeded 80 trillion tokens, increasing downward risks. It is advised to use $0.00000400 as a key support level. If SHIB falls below this level accompanied by large-scale transfers to exchanges, investors should immediately implement stop-loss orders or significantly reduce their holdings. If the price manages to stabilize above $0.00000420 along with signs of increased whale holdings, investors can maintain their current positions and observe further developments, avoiding reckless additional investments until selling pressure subsides.

3. Dynamic Adjustment Strategy Based on Market Sentiment and Whale Activity (Time Frame: This Month) The current overall AI sentiment score is 53/100, indicating a neutral state [Digital Anchor Table]. However, sentiment alert systems show a sudden surge in whale activity on the blockchain by 46–60 points [Sentiment Alert], alongside a sharp shift toward bullish sentiment among KOLs (a change of +85.0 percentage points) [Sentiment Alert]. This divergence—neutral sentiment but high whale activity—often precedes market reversals. If the market sentiment index rises further from 53 to above 60, coupled with increased trading volumes in major meme coins such as DOGE and PEPE, investors may consider adding positions to capture potential upward momentum. On the other hand, if the sentiment index drops below 45 while whale activity remains high, investors should be wary of major sellers exiting the market and adopt a defensive strategy to reduce overall exposure.

Key Risk Warnings

1. Risk of Whale Manipulation and Artificial Liquidity Reports from 07-08 highlighted issues of robot-controlled trading and artificial wash trades in the Solana meme market, with retail investors holding positions for an average of only 100 seconds. If target tokens like PEPE or BONK exhibit frequent small-scale transactions but abnormal price fluctuations, or if large-scale blockchain transfers occur without corresponding price increases but rather declines, it may indicate that whales are creating artificial demand through self-trading. Investors are advised to stop buying immediately and assess the risks associated with their current holdings.

2. Risk of Circulating Supply Pressures and Persistent Selling Pressure SHIB faces enormous circulating supply pressures, with data from 07-11 showing a circulating supply of 585 trillion tokens. Additionally, 600 billion tokens were transferred from dormant accounts on 07-08. If exchange holdings of SHIB continue to rise and exceed 85 trillion tokens, or if there are concentrated sell-offs of over 1 billion tokens per day, the price could quickly break below key support levels, leading to significant pullbacks. Investors must set strict stop-loss levels.

3. Risk of Liquidity Crunch Caused by Sudden Shifts in Market Sentiment Sentiment alerts have shown sudden drops in the market sentiment index by 15.6 points (from 51.8 to 36.2) [Sentiment Alert]. If the market sentiment index experiences another similar sharp decline in the future, accompanied by a more than 30% reduction in 24-hour trading volumes for major meme coins, it could lead to a liquidity crunch and panic-driven sell-offs. Investors are advised to reduce their positions in advance to avoid risks associated with irrational price drops.
