🎯 We keep score in public. Last week’s flags, checked against the candles:
PUMPBTC — flagged mid-move at +14.6%/1h → peaked +318.0% after the post · now +189.8% 1000000BOB — flagged mid-move at +26.8%/1h → peaked +50.4% after the post · now -54.4% BTW — flagged mid-move at +9.1%/1h → peaked +32.8% after the post · now +23.5% MOVR — flagged mid-move at +8.3%/1h → peaked +31.0% after the post · now +6.4% GTC — flagged mid-move at +6.7%/1h → peaked +22.2% after the post · now -15.3% EDU — flagged mid-move at +10.1%/1h → peaked +14.7% after the post · now +1.2% AIN — flagged mid-move at +12.4%/1h → peaked +8.4% after the post · now -35.3% LYN — flagged mid-move at +6.1%/1h → peaked +7.8% after the post · now -30.0% MUBARAK — flagged mid-move at +9.2%/1h → peaked +4.9% after the post · now -4.9% TST — flagged mid-move at +6.0%/1h → peaked -1.4% after the post · now -15.9%
Scoreboard: 5/10 truly ran after the flag (peak ≥ +15%), 6/10 have since fallen below the flag price. Momentum is real — and so is the fade. We publish both.
No cherry-picking: if we flagged it, it’s on this list — whichever way it went.
