What to do when you spot a new launch with promising early demand
A practical playbook for one of the situations every memecoin trader eventually faces: when you spot a new launch with promising early demand.
How to read the situation
Early, broadening demand on a fresh launch can be a real opportunity — but launches are maximum-variance, and "promising" early action is exactly what snipers and bundlers manufacture.
Screen hard and fast: concentration first, then authorities and LP, then demand quality. Engage only small if it passes.
What to do right now
- Check first-block holder concentration and bundling.
- Verify authorities and (if graduated) LP status.
- Confirm unique buyers are genuinely broadening.
- Size very small given launch variance.
- Pre-set a tight exit before entering.
What not to do
- ✗ Aping on "promising" action without screening.
- ✗ Ignoring heavy early concentration.
- ✗ Sizing a launch like an established coin.
- ✗ Entering with no exit plan.
Knowing the theory is great. Catching it live is better.
