Twitter Tracking
Twitter is where most memecoin attention starts.
A single tweet can expose an idea to hundreds of thousands of traders instantly. But not all tweets matter equally, and most of what you see is noise.
Twitter tracking is about spotting where attention concentrates, not reacting to everything.
Why it matters
Memecoins run on attention. Price follows attention. Attention follows reach.
When you're evaluating a tweet, the first question is always: how many eyes just saw this?
A tweet from a 500k follower account can move markets. The same tweet from a 2k account probably won't. Account size doesn't guarantee a reaction, but it sets the ceiling for how big that reaction can be.
Curating your feed
More accounts doesn't mean more signal. It usually means more noise.
Who to track:
Large accounts that consistently trigger market reactions
Well-known traders and CT personalities
Builders with credibility
Accounts that have sparked past runs
Who to cut:
Accounts that post constantly but rarely move anything
Engagement farmers
Anyone you find yourself ignoring
Review your list regularly. If an account never produces reactions, remove it. Twitter tracking improves through subtraction, not accumulation.
You don't need to follow hundreds of accounts. A tight list of 30-50 high-impact accounts is more useful than a cluttered feed of 500.
Setting up your tracking
Most traders don't scroll Twitter manually. They use tools that show tweets alongside new coins so they can see reactions in real time.
Terminal lets you view tweets and new coins together:
This setup lets you:
See tweets as they happen
Immediately judge the source
Watch how the market reacts
Decide whether attention is expanding or fading
What tweets actually matter
Tweets that move markets usually share two traits: meaningful reach and immediate reaction.
High-signal tweets:
Unexpected posts from large accounts
Profile picture or bio changes from known figures
Short, punchy tweets that spark rapid responses
Posts that immediately lead to new pairs launching or volume spiking
Low-signal tweets:
High engagement but no market reaction
Threads and long explanations (too slow)
Anything that feels like paid promo
Posts from accounts with history of farming
Engagement doesn't equal opportunity. What matters is whether the market actually reacts.
Evaluating a tweet
Market conditions change everything
Even large accounts can't move markets when conditions are dead.
Twitter tracking works best when:
Markets are active
Traders are risk-on
Attention is already rotating between coins
In slow conditions, even big tweets can fail. False signals increase and selectivity becomes critical.
Account size sets the potential. Market conditions determine whether that potential plays out.
How this fits your process
Twitter tracking is radar, not a buy signal.
It tells you where attention is forming. You still need to combine it with:
Narrative strength (is this actually interesting?)
Coin fundamentals (is the setup clean?)
Wallet behavior (who's buying?)
Market conditions (is anyone even trading right now?)
Spotting attention early is useful. Acting on it without context is how you become exit liquidity.
Most traders lose money on Twitter tracking by treating every tweet equally and chasing reactions that are already 5 minutes old.

Pros care less about what's tweeted and more about who tweeted it. This attention-focused mindset is explored in: Trading Attention, Not Charts
