What to do when the market is euphoric and everything is pumping
A practical playbook for one of the situations every memecoin trader eventually faces: when the market is euphoric and everything is pumping.
How to read the situation
Market-wide euphoria feels like easy money and pulls everyone in — which is exactly when risk is highest. Broad euphoria often marks a local top, and correlated reversals can be violent.
This is a time to take profits on a plan, tighten risk, and resist the urge to size up into the frenzy.
What to do right now
- Take profits on winners into the strength.
- Tighten risk rather than loosening it.
- Resist sizing up into the euphoria.
- Keep SOL ready for the inevitable cooldown.
- Watch for unique-buyer growth stalling broadly.
What not to do
- ✗ Going risk-on harder into peak euphoria.
- ✗ Chasing every pumping coin.
- ✗ Spending your entire SOL buffer.
- ✗ Believing the frenzy will last.
