On-chain new coin projects are exploding, but so are pump-and-dump schemes and scams. Truly promising projects are few and far between. Instead of blindly chasing highs, it's better to master a few screening techniques.

My approach is to monitor the top 10 new coins on the leaderboard every day, without rushing to buy. The key is to wait until they stop hitting new lows before entering — this window usually lasts 2 to 6 days. Why? Because good meme coins, even when they decline, tend to maintain a market cap between $20,000 and $250,000 at their lows. The more strategic the project, the higher the market cap at the bottom of its decline.

After entering, see who has gone to zero, and among the remaining, select the top 3 with the highest market caps for deployment. But there's a trap here: never hold a heavy position. Buying too much can annoy the whales, and they might stop pumping. In the jungle law of the market, the weak are preyed upon by the strong. Following the trend and going with the flow are the ways to survive. $ETH $BTC

It sounds like you're teaching people how to be "elegant" when getting cut, haha, but I need to try the 2-6 day window... Really, can a market cap of 20,000 to 250,000 determine a project's pattern? It still feels like mostly luck. I agree not to over-allocate, but the problem is most people can't listen and insist on going all in to be satisfied.

That's a good point, but I still think the 2-6 day window is too tight and I often miss it. The advice to not hold heavy positions again really resonated with me, as I was previously caught due to greed.

Wait a minute, can we see if there's a pattern in 2 to 6 days? I feel like this theory has failed in this round of the market, and a few days ago, several meme coin scams directly dumped the market.

Sounds quite professional, but I still think most people simply can't copy this assignment... Not to mention waiting 2-6 days, most newcomers simply can't control their fingers.

*sigh* empirically speaking, this whole "wait for the dip then spot the survivors" framework is just... governance by survivorship bias. the data suggests you're essentially doing quadratic elimination, which honestly? respectable, but let me share why this lacks clear KPIs for actual protocol health assessment...

Wait until it doesn't hit a new low before jumping in. I've tried this trick too, but it really depends on luck. Sometimes good projects take off before even reaching that level, and you're still waiting.

It sounds like a story, but the ones who truly make it to the end are those who buy quietly. Forget about 2 to 6 days; I just watch market sentiment. There are too many projects that go to zero. Instead of waiting for the rankings, it's better to track on-chain data yourself. It's true not to over-allocate, but most people still go all-in, and then there's no turning back.
