A lot of hyped projects just pushed their launches to 2026, and it’s a good time to repeat my personal strategy:
- Never buy on launch You’re competing with snipers, MEVs, whales and super experiencd traders. They’re faster and better capitalized. You lose that game.
- Sit back and watch presalers / public raise traders behavior Did they get their tokens already? Are they selling or holding? In what size and how often?
- Watch socials carefully Any early FUD? Bad comms? Is the team answering questions? Are members complaining non stop? So many things can go wrong on big raises and/or hyped projects. You must watch it.
- Wait for the first red candles.. It almost always comes. Snipers, MEV, presalers - no exceptions, no matter how good the project looks.
Once the dust settles, you see the real picture.
That’s when you take decisions without the pressure of “being first” - NO FOMO.
Patience is the edge when trading hyped projects.
