The silence of Memecoins may indicate the return of: Santiment
According to crypto sentiment platform Santiment, the reversal of memecoins may come faster than traders expect.
“A ‘nostalgia' narrative is growing with respect to memecoins as many traders consider the sector permanently dead,” Sentiment said in a report on Friday.
“It's a common capital sign of collective acceptance of the ‘end of the meme era,'” said Sentiment, adding that it's often “the opposite time” to start paying attention when a sector of the market completely shuts down.
“Look at the sectors that the public has left for dead; high pain usually shows the bottom,” Santiment said.
The market price of Memecoin fell in the market crash
The total memecoin market capitalization fell 34.04% to $31.02 billion in 30 days Bitcoin (BTC) saw a fall close to $60,000 on February 3, which is a broad crypto market decline, according to CoinMarketCap, the asset's lowest point since October 2024.
Among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, memecoin's gains over the past seven days were mostly modest, with the exception of outlier PIPPIN, which surged 243.17 percent. The next best performers were Official TRUMP (TRUMP), 1.37%, and Shiba Inu (SHIB), 1.11%.
In previous cycles, market participants often expected Bitcoin to reach new all-time highs, after which capital would shift to Ethereum (ETH) and then to higher-risk altcoins.
However, as bitcoin continues to grow and institutional interest grows, some analysts now question whether the conventional rotation method will play out the same way.
The Altcoin Season May Not Be A “Rising Tide Lifts All Ships”
Others have suggested that unlike previous altcoin seasons, when profits were widely spread across the market, the next altcoin season may be more selective, with certain cryptocurrencies showing upward momentum.
Craig Cobb, founder of The Grow Me, told the magazine in August 2025 that the next season of altcoins will be “a rising tide that will lift all ships.”

Santiment pointed to growing fear in the crypto market on social media, with more bearish than bullish comments, which could be a sign that a market recovery is underway.
“Historically, markets move against public expectations. This delayed disbelief, even during a price pump, is a healthy sign for continued recovery,” Sentiment said.
