Most deflationary narratives are cope.

Token burns and buybacks don't guarantee price action. I learned this the hard way last year — bought the "fundamental thesis" every time, got rekt every time.

MMs play along with the narrative just enough to farm retail. Your exit is their profit.

What actually matters: volume spikes and holder distribution. When you see abnormal volume + favorable long/short ratios, that's your signal. Everything else is noise.

Stop trading the story. Trade the structure.
