A Survival Guide for the Chronically Online
Let’s face it — we’ve all been there.
You see a cute dog coin pumping 500%, FOMO in at the top, and watch your portfolio turn into a lovely shade of crimson.
If you’re tired of being the person who buys high and sells low, buckle up. This guide is your ticket to slightly less painful meme trading.
Step 1: Understand Market Psychology
Don’t be the one who sees a vertical green candle and thinks, “This is the perfect time to go all in!” Here’s the thing: if your grandmother is talking about a memecoin, you’re probably too late.
Key patterns to observe:
- Study the price appreciation. Is it gradual or exponential?
- Rely on TA to identify key levels
- Your favorite crypto influencer hasn’t tweeted about it… yet
Step 2: Understand Position Sizing
Understanding volatility and adjusting portfolio allocation plays a crucial role in preserving your capital. Consider these observations:
- Newer memecoins are subject to higher volatility
- More established memecoins can be stable over the course of time
Choose your portfolio allocation based on your risk appetite.
Step 3: DYOR
Before aping in, take five minutes to:
- Check rugcheck.xyz for Solana memecoins and check.quillai.network for Base memecoins (because getting rugged isn’t as fun as it sounds)
- Look at holder distribution using gmgn.ai (if one wallet has 95%, they’re not your friend)
- Verify if liquidity is locked
- Check the community vibe
- Monitor TweetScout_io for social signals
Step 4: Market Context
Understand the broader market conditions:
- Small-cap asset behavior
- Correlation with larger market trends
- Check “meme” mindshare on kaito.ai
- What are the emerging narratives? (nostalgia, animals, whatever the cool kids are into)
Don’t get REKT checklist:
- Is the price in a vertical line? Study the price action
- Did you check basic security (rugcheck, liquidity, holders)?
- Do you have clear entry and exit points (both up and down)?
- Is your position size reasonable?
- Is the overall market supportive?
- Does the community seem genuine?
- Have you set stop losses?
