A few signals before meme coins gain momentum

If the leaders aren't seeing a surge in volume, I'm not listening to any small-cap coin stories.

Measure sentiment by price changes, not by hype in group chats.

PEPE 0.00000529 (+4.54%), BONK 0.00000279 (+1.82%), SHIB 0.00000444 (+0.68%), DOGE 0.0694 (+0.39%)

For comparison: BTC 74251 (24h -0.51%).

PEPE is up +4.54% over 24h, clearly outperforming BTC at -0.51%, which points to independent buying. But WIF is up only +0.38%—there's no sector-wide confirmation. Stick to the leaders; don't fantasize about laggards catching up.

If the gap between the leader and the weakest coin narrows to within 2 percentage points, independent buying has disappeared. Close the position.

Are you currently out of the market waiting for a pullback, or already in?

Takeaway: Hype in a community doesn't equal buying pressure. People can make noise, but they can't shout liquidity back into a pool once it's withdrawn.
Insight: ETH is weaker than BTC: capital is contracting, so pause altcoin entries on the right side of the chart.
