If you scan the meme coin boards today, you’ll notice two very different stories. While the "Kings" are taking a breather, the new generation is fighting to steal the spotlight.
The Struggle: Dogecoin
The chart doesn't lie: DOGE is having a slow Monday, down roughly 6-7% this week. It’s currently acting like a "mature" asset stable, but missing that explosive spark.
The Silver Lining: Even with the drift near $0.14, on-chain data shows whales are quietly accumulating. They aren't panicked; they are building for the next leg.
The Attention Grabber: Peanut the Squirrel
While DOGE cools off, $PNUT is screaming for attention. It’s trending on Binance Square becuase it’s one of the few coins showing a "bullish divergence" on the 4-hour chart.
The Level to Watch: Price is curently fighting to flip $0.082 into solid support. If it stays above this line, the "squirrel energy" could trigger a much larger breakout.
Why this is happening:
DOGE is "Old Money": Without fresh headlines, DOGE moves like a slow moving giant.
PNUT is "New Heat": In a sideways market, traders hunt for high-volatility "low caps." PNUT as that early stage energy.
The $PEPE Factor: $PEPE is also holding steady (+1%), proving that meme liquidity isn't leaving it’s just rotating.
The Trader’s Takeaway:
In 2026, meme coins are our "risk-on" indicators. When traders move from the big OGs to chase $PNUT, it tells you the market is hungry for higher stakes.
Holding OGs? You need patience. The big moves take time to build.
Chasing Runners? You need tight risk control. Don't buy the top of a volume spike.
