Santiment предсказывает возможный разворот рынка мем-коинов в условиях ностальгии Translation: Santiment predicts a potential turnaround for the meme coin market amid nostalgia.

A shift in the meme token sector may occur sooner than traders anticipate, as per insights from Santiment.

Analysts have noted that a narrative of «nostalgia» is gaining traction on social media concerning «joke coins.» Many users perceive the sector as permanently defunct.

«This collective acceptance of the ‘end of the meme era’ acts as a classic capitulation signal. When the crowd completely dismisses a sector, it often signals the moment to pay attention to it once again,» the Santiment experts emphasized.

Overall sentiments regarding the digital asset market remain concerning, with negative comments dominating.

«Historically, markets have been known to move against the crowd’s expectations. This persistent skepticism, even amid price increases, is a healthy indicator of a potential sustainable recovery,» analysts added.

According to CoinMarketCap, over the past year, the market capitalization of the meme coin segment has plummeted by 56.5%, down to $31.3 billion. Trading volume during this period has collapsed by 69%.

In January, CoinGecko reported a record «mortality rate» of tokens in 2025, with 11.6 million coins failing. The trend was linked to market volatility and the collapse of the meme coin sector.

After the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released unexpectedly positive consumer inflation data in January, Bitcoin surged past $69,700 during a local rally.

The cooling trend in price growth within the world’s largest economy «has reignited hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut in 2026,» noted Santiment.

«While the immediate reaction may be bullish, macroeconomic reports rarely dictate long-term price trends for cryptocurrencies on their own,» experts stated.

They pointed out that although the momentum appears «promising,» Friday’s fluctuations in response to economic news often require confirmation of the trend at the week’s start.

Santiment specialists highlighted that the drop in trading volumes indicates capitulation and «analysis paralysis» among traders. This could serve as a potential signal that the market is preparing for the next significant movement. However, the ongoing purchases of Bitcoin by retail investors suggest that a bottom has yet to be reached.

CryptoQuant analysts also expressed doubts about whether Bitcoin’s correction is over. They noted that historically, the lower boundary of a bear market is determined by the asset’s realized price, currently at $55,000.

Standard Chartered has suggested that digital gold could decline to $50,000, with an end-of-year forecast for the flagship asset set at $100,000.

Jean-David Piquet, the commercial director of the derivatives exchange Deribit, believes that Bitcoin’s long-term rally has been «interrupted.» A sustainable recovery will not occur until the asset climbs above $85,000, he stated in an interview with CoinDesk.

On February 6, the price of Bitcoin fell to $60,000. This level, along with the 200-week moving average currently at $58,000, is seen as a robust support level, the expert noted. A drop below these values could pave the way for a more profound correction, according to Piquet.

Earlier in February, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone reiterated his prediction of a potential fall of the first cryptocurrency to $10,000 within the current year.

It’s worth mentioning that K33 Research analysts identified $60,000 as a local bottom for Bitcoin.
