This is the leading indicator every one wants right now. I typically use CoinMarketCap. But filtering for hourly (or even 5m) surges is better.

Add a Metamask button next to each token and you've got yourself an instant trading platform...

If any one is interested in some deep background concerning the illiquid and unregulated tokenomics behind meme coins, Bloomberg has a nice expose

Of course, you don't need to spend a dime if you can get in on the drops. Most are happening on private Telegram channels. A bot that can collect drops cross chain would surely be a marvel.

Best of Luck (and to the moon) ;)

Thanks for the kind words. I think there is probably potential to do more here, but I don't know if I will. It takes a lot of work to get things off the ground, and I really only made this because it gave me lots of dopamine. Meme coins are fascinating and potentially lucrative, but not how I see myself spending much of my life

A feeling we've all had with our side-projects at one time or the other, I'm sure...

Ha, I recently asked one such question & did not expect to see this so soon: "Ask HN: How do you spot trends in Crypto before it blows up?" → https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27219070

How does this work in theory?

A coincidence! Hadn't seen that, but wish I had.

I run a cron job every minute that pulls in the latest trades from the Binance Smart Chain, and calculate the price of the token on every trade. If the coin posts two consecutive hours of > 10% price rise (and meets a certain volatility threshold), then I consider it trending.

Once it falls below certain price/volume thresholds, I assume it's passed it's best and it moves into 'recently trending'.

Looks good, but to be honest it could have come at a better time. Not at the potential end of this bull run, haha.

How could there be an end when new coins pop up daily?

See 2017 charts

Doge peaked but it can still go up when there's Elon Musk behind it. That man can move markets with his 55 million Twitter followers.

There's all kinds of coins blowing up. These are mostly shitcoins but they do provide 100x returns for some.

I recently read a thread when someone turned their $2k investment into $1m in 1 month by investing in SafeMoon.

Coins like this are popping up everyday. There's also a burst of revenge coins like https://www.fckyousarah.com/ when someone's GF cheated on him so he made a revenge coin dedicated to her. And people are loving it as it's really stupid & hilarious.

Haha, yes, it was unfortunate. Perhaps meme coins become the best means of making a good return during this bear era? I'm not holding my breath, we'll see :)

You might want to call out that your utility is limited to Binance tokens.
