If you’re also an ordinary person who only wants to jump in after seeing a new coin surge, you can directly refer to this filtering method. Experts can skip; I’ll only talk about one thing below: fast listings are just an observation window, not a buy signal.
What’s truly worth looking at isn’t how many times it has risen, but whether you can get out smoothly after you enter. For example, $MYX a sharp rise from a low position looks like early-stage dividends on the surface; but its circulation rate is only 9%. Six core addresses control over 70% of the supply, and it also saw a 60% single-day drop. With such concentrated holdings, prices may climb quickly—but pullbacks can also happen with little to no buffer.
When looking at new coins, I only check three numbers.
1. Check the chip concentration
Go to an on-chain explorer and look at the holdings proportion of the top 10 addresses. If the top addresses account for too high a share, first confirm whether they are exchanges, project teams, or locked-up addresses. If you can’t clearly identify them, don’t just focus on the K-line.
2. Check the real liquidity
High trading volume doesn’t necessarily mean easy execution.$COAI There may have been a high share of the network’s trading volume in the past, but when you watch the chart, you still need to check the order book depth, the bid-ask spread, and slippage caused by large orders at the same time. For thin-order-book new coins, the paper profit might just be numbers—when you actually sell, it will get eaten by the spread.
3. Check circulation and unlocks
Low circulating supply can easily manufacture short-term pumps, but it’s also more vulnerable to subsequent unlocks. When watching $M such hot assets, besides price, you should check the current circulating rate, unlock schedule, and newly added supply. If supply suddenly increases, it’s often more directly harmful than the hype cooling off.
The purpose of these 3 steps isn’t to help you find “sure-to-pump coins,” but to first rule out assets that look lively yet are actually hard to exit. Seeing them earlier lets you catch opportunities sooner, but it also exposes you earlier to project hype, manipulation, and technical risks.
If you see a new-coin anomaly today, don’t rush to chase. Spend 10 minutes checking the chips, liquidity, and unlocks; meanwhile, understand local regulatory requirements before deciding whether to keep watching the chart.
