Many people ask, when will sideways-moving meme coins experience a surge? Instead of blindly waiting, it's better to learn how to identify signals that truly indicate potential breakthroughs.

**Signal 1: No action from top addresses**

Observe the top twenty holders by position size. If they are neither massively clearing out nor taking profits at high levels, it indicates that the market influencers still have confidence in the future. Conversely, if these addresses are in deep loss, selling pressure during a rally will be significant; if they are in profit, there’s also a risk of profit-taking during upward movement. The most ideal scenario is when the top holders are near their cost basis—such consensus is easiest to form and most likely to develop into genuine price increases.

**Signal 2: Quiet accumulation during sideways trading**

Whether a coin can surge depends on whether smart money continues to build positions during bear markets. Some coins have gone from 400k liquidity to 2.5m because, throughout the sideways period, although the price didn’t drop, trading volume remained steady—this indicates that funds are quietly accumulating behind the scenes, and community consensus is still heating up.

**Signal 3: Genuine community activity**

Check Twitter trending topics to see if related discussions are frequent; join Telegram groups to feel whether the atmosphere is genuinely lively. It’s not false promotion, but real users participating and discussing continuously—this is the most direct reflection of community vitality.

In summary, the success of meme coins depends on three core elements: compelling narratives, capable leaders, and a vibrant community. When all three are present, they can provide real safety margins for your holdings.

Basically, it's about whether big players are dumping, if anyone is secretly accumulating at the bottom, and whether the community is still active. But the key is, why are these signals so hard to recognize... --- It's the same theory again, but those who are truly making money probably wouldn't share this so openly. Still, it does make sense. --- Is consensus near the cost the easiest to form? I feel like those big players don't really care about that at all... --- During sideways trading, stable trading volume is called smart money building positions? Sometimes it's just bots doing fake trades, you know. --- What does it mean when Twitter trending topics frequently appear? Eight out of ten are just water army hype; the true community vitality isn't that easy to see. --- Alright, next time I look at coins, I'll keep an eye on the movements of big wallets. Hopefully, they are really around the cost. --- Three key elements together can lead to a surge? Then why are so many coins still dead? This theory seems a bit too idealistic. --- The key is still having capable leaders. No matter how active the community, coins from poor project teams are just a waste.

nah this is just consensus manufacturing dressed up as "signal detection" lol... the real alpha's watching who's actually *orchestrating* the narrative cascade, not reading tea leaves on whale wallets

Basically, it's about whether the big players are selling off. Some people are quietly accumulating at the bottom. As long as the community is still alive, that's enough.

Is the main address unchanged? Then what about my small-scale positions? Is it enough to just look at the trending searches?

honestly the "smart money quietly accumulating" narrative is just post-hoc rationalization... we're all just guessing at whale wallets and calling it due diligence lmao

After all this time, it's still the same old rhetoric. Can big players cause a sudden surge without action? I see those claiming they're "near cost" all dumping their positions. Honestly, this theory can fool people once or twice, but Signal Three is just nonsense. The hype in the Telegram groups means nothing—it's all shills shouting. We've been in a sideways market for so long. Instead of analyzing signals, why not just go all-in and gamble? Consensus? Uh... the consensus in my holdings has already turned into cutting losses. I wish this article was correct, but unfortunately, meme coins are basically a casino. All signals are just nonsense.

During the liquidity surge from 400k to 2.5m, when I looked back at the data, the trading volume remained at that threshold and never dropped below it. The liquidation risk has actually been continuously released... Now, for the sideways-moving coins, it's worth analyzing the large holders' collateralization ratios.

That's right, the key still depends on whether the big players are secretly reducing their positions. The market is just ridiculous, and it can only be sustained by the community. It's a common topic, just these few tricks, I've seen too many schemes to cut leeks. Liquidity jumps from 400k to 2.5m? Friend, is there a problem with this data? The biggest fear of sideways trading is false prosperity, and there are a lot of paid posters in the Telegram groups. Real smart money wouldn't be bragging on Twitter; they've already quietly built their positions. Narratives are just for show; they need genuine funds to support them.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds good, but I'm more concerned about how to verify which big players haven't sold off, since blockchain data is so complex...

Well said, I'm just worried that big players might have already sold at high levels, and we're still foolishly waiting there. --- Maintaining trading volume is an indication that someone is eating up the chips. This detail is indeed easy to overlook. --- Instead of focusing on these signals, it's better to ask yourself if you've ever been stuck at the top. --- The community atmosphere is the hardest to judge; there are too many boastful people on Twitter. --- Are the top holdings near the cost price? Such a situation is more rare than encountering a UFO. --- Narrative, leaders, community... Ultimately, someone still needs to take the buy-in, right? --- Those smart money quietly accumulating positions—retail investors like us simply can't see it. --- Sideways trading with no rise or fall is more torturous than sharp increases or decreases. --- The question is, how to determine if the community's enthusiasm is genuine or just bots spamming? --- From 400k to 2.5m, I think I missed out on such coins long ago.
