Here’s what happened when Elon Musk posted a raccoon video and a tiny Solana memecoin suddenly became the trade of the weekend.
For traders, this is the uncomfortable part of memecoins: the move often happens before most people even understand why. By the time FOMO hits, the clean entry may already be gone.
$JIMOTHY, a #Solana-based memecoin, jumped 331% after Musk shared the raccoon clip on Saturday. No protocol upgrade. No major exchange news. Just attention moving faster than liquidity.
Then it cooled off. That’s the part most people miss. These spikes can look like momentum, but they’re often attention-driven reflex moves where late buyers are effectively providing exit liquidity for early holders.
The lesson isn’t “avoid every meme trade.” It’s that $JIMOTHY and similar $SOL memes can move violently on social triggers, but the same catalyst that sends them up can disappear just as fast. If your plan depends on being earlier than everyone else, you need to know what “late” looks like.
