How to know if a meme coin will pump

How to know if a meme coin will pump? You cannot know it in advance, and neither can anyone else. What you can do is check, before you buy, whether a token is a trap. This guide gives the honest answer, with the data Trnch has on Robinhood Chain.

what makes a meme coin go up

A memecoin goes up when more people want to buy it than sell it, and that is all. Attention, a community around the token and enough liquidity to trade in size all help, but none of them is a rule. Part of the early demand also comes from software. On Robinhood Chain, 81% of entry buys come from 10% of wallets, and those wallets are bots. Another part comes from the token's own crowd: 63% of first buyers buy only one token, so they arrive from the community of that token and not from the market at large.

what makes a memecoin blow up

A memecoin can blow up in two ways: it runs, or it collapses. A run needs new buyers all the time, since the price only holds while demand keeps arriving. A collapse comes when a large holder sells, or when the liquidity is pulled. Between 4,000 and 7,700 tokens launch each day on the chain and about 25% of them are rugs. In 11 days, Trnch judged 59,823 launches and 12,722 were rugs. For a buyer, the collapse is the most common ending.

Trnch tested the idea directly. It followed the Heat, its live list of new tokens screened for traps, as if it were a buying strategy. The median multiple of a buy was between 0.84 and 0.94, which is below 1, and no robust entry rule was found. Following the Heat does not make you win. The Heat is a filter that keeps out known traps, not a forecast.

Trnch also ran a public bot, funded with 50 dollars, that bought the Heat. It lost all of it. A tool that sees launches early and a tool that picks winners are two different things.

what makes a successful meme coin

Looking back, a successful memecoin is one whose holders did not get rugged and whose demand lasted. What you can see before the fact is only the absence of known problems. The token can be sold. The liquidity is real and not held by the deployer. The supply is not concentrated in a few wallets. The deployer has no link to past rugs. A community exists that is not made of bots. A token with all of these can still fall to zero, and it is not a promise of anything. Before you buy, you can check five things.

when does a memecoin graduate

On a launchpad such as Pons or Flap, a new token first trades against a bonding curve. When enough has been bought on the curve, the token graduates: its liquidity moves into a DEX pool, usually Uniswap. On Pons, the pool position goes to the launchpad locker, not to the deployer. Graduation tells you where the token trades from then on. It does not tell you that the price will rise, and many tokens that graduate fall afterwards.

• Can you sell? A honeypot lets you buy and blocks the sell.
• Who controls the contract? Powers to mint, pause, blacklist or change taxes are red flags.
• Where is the liquidity, and can the deployer pull it?
• Who holds the supply? A few wallets holding most of it can sell on everyone else.
• Who deployed it? A deployer linked to past rugs is the strongest warning.
