Narrative Holding
Narrative holding is a slower, more patient way to trade memecoins.
Instead of reacting to short-term price movement, you hold through narrative expansion as attention builds over time. You're not trying to capture every move. You're positioning early and staying involved while belief grows.
When it works best
This strategy performs best when:
A clear narrative is forming
Attention is growing steadily, not peaking instantly
The community is active and engaged
Market conditions support risk-taking
It struggles when:
Attention spikes once and disappears
Narratives rotate too quickly
The market is slow or risk-off
Before committing, ask: is this narrative still expanding, or has it already peaked?
What it's not
Narrative holding is not:
Chasing momentum after a big move
Holding blindly without reassessment
Refusing to cut when conditions change
Conviction must be supported by evidence, not hope.
Who it's for
This strategy suits traders who:
Prefer fewer, more deliberate trades
Are comfortable holding through volatility
Want time to think and adjust
Value structure over speed
It's often the best starting point for newer traders, but remains effective at all experience levels.
