New week, new noise. Instead of chasing every pump, reset the watchlist with objective rules that surface leaders early and protect capital when momentum fades. Here’s a simple framework you can reuse every Monday in 10 minutes.
Structure first, story later
Rule: Only include coins above their 20D and 50D moving averages with at least one higher‑low and higher‑high on the daily chart.
Why: Leaders respect structure. If price can’t hold trend, the narrative won’t save it.
Liquidity filter
Rule: 24h spot volume ≥ 1% of market cap or ≥ $100M, whichever is lower.
Why: Liquidity reduces slippage and allows scaling without moving the market.
Breakout readiness
Rule: Price is within 3% below last week’s high or already reclaimed it on a closing basis.
Why: You want names near ignition, not mid‑range chop.
Relative strength vs. ETH
Rule: Coin/ETH pair printing higher‑lows on 4h and daily.
Why: In ETH‑led rotations, the best alts outperform ETH, not just USD.
Catalyst in 14 days
Rule: One concrete event: mainnet/upgrade, incentive epoch, listing, or product release with a date or published window.
Why: Timed catalysts concentrate flows and attention.
On‑chain usage trend (for L1/L2/DeFi)
Rule: 7‑day rise in daily active addresses or DEX volumes; for DeFi, TVL and unique users rising together.
Why: Usage is sticky fuel; price-only rallies fade faster.
Clean risk map
Rule: Obvious invalidation (last 4h/daily higher‑low) within 6–10% for large caps, 10–15% for mid caps.
Why: If risk is undefined, your sizing will be wrong.
How to compile the list (10 minutes)
Step 1: Scan top 50 by market cap; flag those meeting Rules 1–3.
Step 2: From the flagged set, keep only those passing Rules 4–5.
Step 3: Apply Rule 6 for chains/DeFi names; skip if usage is flat or falling.
Step 4: Confirm Rule 7 and write the invalidation level next to each ticker.
Positioning playbook
Core: ETH until ETH/BTC confirms higher‑high and hold; then rotate 10–20% into the strongest large‑caps from the list.
Adds: Buy reclaim‑and‑hold above last week’s high; add on successful retest. If retest fails, exit and re‑alert.
Profit map: Trim 25–30% at first resistance; trail remainder below the latest 4h higher‑low.
