Before we jump in, make sure to check out the Meal Deal:

To navigate crypto bull markets correctly, one needs to have a crew with which to bounce ideas.

That’s why we created the Meal Deal—a lifeline for the professional degen and a gateway to an active crew grinding every day to make it in crypto.

GM to everyone who enjoys a proper brainrot.

So, here we are—the moment has arrived. Just as the prophecy foretold, an army of retail, made up of Zoomers and Millennial TikTokers, is flooding the memecoin markets, rallying behind our newfound crypto Lisan al Gaib, appearing in the form of a chubby kid who successfully dumped his ChillGuy memecoin for twenty bands (and then again shortly after).

Let`s continue this topic in the memecoin corner below (along with some brainrot coin picks). 

Now, serious talk. ETFs are absolutely cooking, especially on the BTC side, with a staggering $816.4 million in inflows. While BTC is still edging just above 94K, the likelihood of this price action resolving into six figures remains. Also, another solid mint of USDT worth $1b will surely help here. 

That said, bulls need to flex their strength soon—otherwise, this consolidation could easily turn into a dip. Anyways: not overtrading and staying patient is the safest way forward.

If you need more proof that we’re in a real bull run, look no further than the fact that multiple sectors are running—not just one. Right now, there`s a quiet DeFi renaissance happening.

The good old infamous CRV is suddenly around 2x off the lows, while its brother CVX pumps above all major long-term resistances. Maybe it`s the rumors about the potential Convex and Yearn Finance merge? Let`s see.

AI16Z/SOL Raydium 4H Log Chart

AI16Z is another AI meme to consider accumulating during this pullback. Bitcoin heading for $100k is sucking liquidity, but one thing we’ve learned about memes this cycle is that you can’t count them out for long. This one ran up hard from 0.02c to over $0.50c in the last week or so.

Now we have the first big pullback, triggered by an adjacent project, Eliza, with two tokens, one of which is rugged. So yes, you have controversy, and maybe this is a bit of a degen pick, but I’m betting it gets resolved pretty quickly. This whale clipping in over 30 x 100 Sol buys seems to think so, too, not to mention all the smart followers Kaito has identified. 

Come by the Lucky Luke Discord channel for comments, to roast my picks or to pump your own bags. All banter is welcome any time!

Tik Tok Brainrot Meta

When we, as everyday crypto degenerates, say “retail,” I think we mean exactly the late-phase bull-run horde of people who pile in after completely ignoring crypto for the past two years. This time, as explained above, it comes in the form of brain-rotted (no offense; that`s literally what the style is called) TikTokers.

The great thing about this is that the memecoin sector was preparing for this moment this whole time.

The market is ready, and these established names are the ones to benefit:

• Mog

• Aura

• Based

• Lock-in

• Sigma

• Skibidi Toilet

• Winter Arc

• Griddy

• Huzz
