The sentiment toward Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin are wildly different following crypto’s impressive 3-week rebound.

Despite the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delaying decisions on various DOGE ETFs (exchange-traded funds), he said investors seem to be in a state of cautious anticipation.Until late April, DOGE had been on a major decline in terms of crowd interest, but its social dominance has since spiked to its highest level in nearly three months, as the conversations and filings surrounding Nasdaq’s ETF listings have risen, Quinlvan said.“Analysts and traders have noticed heavy accumulation by whales, with bullish patterns forming in the charts, which has added to the sense that Dogecoin may be entering a new phase of growth,” he said. ”While the SEC’s delays mean that final decisions are still pending, the buildup has created a more optimistic and energized mood around the coin than we’ve seen in a long time.”Meme Coin Activity Surges On PumpSwap And Pump.FunAlong with the rise in online discussions around meme coins, DefiLlama data shows trading activity on PumpSwap, the decentralized exchange launched by Pump.fun, surged to $11 billion in April from only $1.7 billion a month earlier.Similarly, Pump.fun’s trading activity rose to $3.3 billion in April. This is up from the $2.5 billion trading activity it saw in March.Related Articles:Best Wallet – Diversify Your Crypto Portfolio Easy to Use, Feature-Driven Crypto WalletGet Early Access to Upcoming Token ICOsMulti-Chain, Multi-Wallet, Non-CustodialNow On App Store, Google PlayStake To Earn Native Token $BEST250,000+ Monthly Active Users Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverageSource link

Real Alpha has shifted to harder-to-copy layers like behavioral and on-chain data, execution quality, risk management, and human judgment in extreme markets, where acting differently — or not acting at all—matters more than better predictions.
