Hi trader,
Two things often move price before the chart shows it: who is buying or selling, and how much new supply is about to hit the market.
We track both in two weekly the reports. For the next 48 hours these are free for everyone.
Smart money: follow the wallets
We track the net buying and selling of proven traders and funds (aka “smart money”).
Price up + smart money buying = real demand behind the move
Price up + smart money selling = they're exiting into the rally
A flip from buying to selling = an early warning
This week, SI rose +89.6% while smart money sold −$1.8M. CARDS rose +27.0% with +$251K of buying from 120 traders, the cleanest build. PAID was a top buy two weeks ago, flipped to selling, then fell −82.2%.
Token unlocks: supply shocks you can see coming
This week (Oct 5–12) we're tracking 18 unlocks:
NAME, Oct 9: ~74% of market cap (~$56.7M). This is the week's real dilution event.
NRS, Oct 11: 29% of market cap. The dollar amount is small, but the float is thin.
others mentioned in this free Token Unlocks report
The lesson: small-caps with big unlocks into thin liquidity get hit hardest. Large headline numbers aren't always the danger.
The edge: combine them
A big unlock while smart money is selling is the highest-risk setup. A big unlock while smart money is buying may already be priced in.
How to trade smart money + unlocks: 5 steps
Check the unlock report. Which tokens have a big unlock coming?
Check the Smart Money report. Is smart money selling that token?
Both say yes? Stay away.
Wait until the unlock is over. Don't buy before it.
Buy only when the chart turns up. Check it in the Screener.
Example: NAME unlocks ~74% of its market cap on Oct 9. That's a big risk, so wait.
What does a good setup look like?
All three should be true:
Smart money is buying the token
No big unlock is coming soon
Price has bullish momentum (rising)
Example from this week: CARDS. 120 smart money traders bought +$251K, price rose +27.0%, and there's no unlock coming.

From next week, both reports return to members only, plus a Smart Money update every second day in VIP Telegram.
