Bear markets expose a brutal truth about altcoins and utility tokens—holding through the dip without bleeding value? Nearly impossible. We're talking about 95% taking hits when things go south.

Meme tokens though? Different beast entirely. Whether Bitcoin's riding high at $120k or scraping $60k, you'll spot breakout performers in the meme sector. Last bear cycle proved it—solid runners emerged when everything else was drowning. History doesn't repeat, but it sure rhymes.

The pattern's clear: utility tokens crash with the broader market sentiment. Memes dance to their own rhythm, fueled by community energy and cultural momentum that doesn't always sync with BTC's price action. That asymmetry creates opportunities most traders overlook when they're laser-focused on traditional metrics.
