How to Find Good Narratives

To do well in memecoins, you need to be early. Early to narratives, and early to trends.

Most big runners are not random. They are usually tied to bigger sources of attention, like:

  • Viral memes

  • Growing online cults

  • Popular tweets and social moments

Memecoins are basically tokenized attention. The more attention something gets, the more people notice, talk, and buy.

Your goal is to recognize attention before the majority does.


A simple framework to find strong narratives

Use this step by step approach when hunting for the next strong coin.

1

Watch socials

Keep an eye on:

  • Twitter / X

  • TikTok

  • Trending meme pages

  • Big news outlets

Anything viral can turn into a coin within seconds.

2

Look for catalysts

Catalysts are events that create momentum.

Ask yourself:

  • Did something surprising happen?

  • Did a big account post something?

  • Did a clip, meme, or topic blow up fast?

Catalysts bring traders together around one story.

3

Check market cap and age

Focus on coins that:

  • Have launched and bonded

  • Still have active chatter hours or days later

If the coin still has real community discussion after time passes, it may have room to grow.

4

Scan the community

Look at replies, quote tweets, memes, and conversation quality.

You want to see:

  • Genuine comments (not bots)

  • Organic memes

  • Real enthusiasm

Avoid coins with scripted comments or obvious bot spam.

5

Track volume

Volume tells you whether capital is participating.

If volume builds steadily instead of spiking randomly, the narrative may be gaining traction.

Money follows attention.

6

Use tools to spot things early

Wallet trackers and scanning tools can help show:

  • Early buyers

  • Repeat buyers

  • Movement from known wallets

They do not replace intuition, they enhance it.

7

Manage risk properly

Catching something early does not mean going all in.

Smart narrative traders:

  • Start small

  • Let the narrative prove itself

  • Add only if strength continues

8

Take profits along the way

Do not wait for the exact top.

Scaling out gradually protects you from roundtrips while still benefiting if momentum continues.

Advanced insight

Professionals do not ask if a narrative is good. They ask whether attention is still accelerating or already crowded.
