What Makes an Extraction Opportunity
The best trades happen before attention becomes obvious.
Once everyone is reacting, risk increases and reward compresses.
This page helps you identify opportunities where attention and volume are about to arrive, not already present.
The trades are anticipatory, not reactive
Professional traders are not chasing attention.
They are positioning ahead of it.
Instead of asking:
Is everyone talking about this?
They ask:
Is this about to be talked about?
That difference defines a good trade.
Early signs of incoming attention
Strong trade opportunities often show subtle early signals, such as:
a few fast traders reacting before the crowd
early chatter starting to form
alignment with the current meta
big / important accounts on twitter talking about the coin
At this stage, attention feels quiet, not loud.
That is where the edge exists.
Conditions that attract attention
This strategy works best when the setup has clear attention potential.
This can include:
a simple, obvious narrative hook
timing aligned with an active market
something traders can react to instantly
relevance to what is already trending
If the idea requires explanation, attention spreads slower.
Speed favors simplicity.
Structure and liquidity matter
Good trade opportunities allow:
fast entry
fast exit
clean execution
Be cautious when:
price is already extended
the trade looks crowded
These trades requires room to move quickly once attention arrives.
Anticipating volume, not waiting for it
Volume confirmation often comes after the best entry.
Professionals look for situations where:
volume is likely to follow attention
traders are positioned to react fast
participation can ramp up quickly
If you wait for obvious volume, you are often late.
Timing relative to the crowd
These trades works best when:
you are early to the idea
attention has not peaked
participation is still forming
If:
the move feels obvious
everyone is already watching
entries feel crowded
The trade window is likely closing.
When an opportunity is not ideal
Avoid trades when:
attention is already widespread
price has moved significantly
the setup feels obvious and crowded
you are reacting instead of anticipating
At that point, conviction or patience may be the better approach.
The qualification question
Before entering, ask:
Am I positioning ahead of attention, or reacting to it?
If you are reacting, the edge is likely gone.
