DON’T CHASE THE GREEN: Why Beginners Get Reckt on #memecoin🚀🚀🚀 Pumps!

✍ ​We’ve all been there. You open the "Gainers" list, see $BONK ,$FLOKI and $PEPE up by 30%+, and think: "If I just put $100 in now, I'll double it by tonight!"

✍ ​Stop Right There. ✋

​As someone who was once a beginner, let me tell you my story:

I bought into a meme pump exactly like this. The market dumped shortly after, and I spent over a year underwater.

I watched my portfolio bleed daily, and the price didn't return to my entry for a very long time.

​🚩 The "Top Gainer" Reality Check

​When you see a meme coin up 20%–40% in 24 hours;

✔ ​Whales are exiting: The people who bought early are now using your buy orders to sell their bags (exit liquidity).

✔ ​Gravity is real: What goes up fast, comes down faster. Memes have no "fundamental value" to hold them up when the hype fades.

✔ ​The Year-Long Trap: If you buy at the peak (ATH), you might be holding those coins for months or years before they ever recover—if they recover at all.

​📉 A Word to #Futuretraders (Longs vs. Shorts)

✔ ​If you are trading these on Futures, be even more careful:

✔ ​Stop Chasing Longs: "Longing" a token that is already up 30% is high-risk. The "funding rate" will eat your profits, and a small 5% correction can liquidate you instantly.

✔ ​SCALP, Don't Marry: If you must trade, scalp (quick in and out). Use tight stop-losses.

DON'T GET GREEDY

​Look for the Shift: When the momentum slows down on these memes, the trend often flips. It is often wiser to wait for a confirmed reversal and SHORT the market once the "dump" begins, rather than trying to catch the very last bit of the pump.

​💡 My Advice

​Don't buy the green candles. Buy when the market is "boring" and red.

​Risk Management: Never put more than 1–5% of your portfolio into high-risk memes.

​Patience: There will always be another pump. Don't let FOMO ruin your account.

​Stay safe out there, and don't let the "Gainers" list tempt you into a bad decision!
