Snipers, bundlers, and why you bought the top

Sniper bots are built to buy a fresh launch in the very first blocks — sometimes the very first one — before a human could ever click that fast, then dump those bags onto everyone who buys after. That first green candle you see minting? Often it's insiders and bots already sitting on profit, not organic demand.

Bundling hides the same problem differently: a dev spins up dozens of wallets before launch and spreads supply across them, so no single wallet looks alarming, but together they control a huge slice of the token and can dump in coordination. Checker tools exist to estimate sniper share and bundled-wallet concentration on a given launch — run one before you ape, not after.

If you're up three times in four minutes on a token that launched four minutes ago, resist the urge to feel like a genius. Statistically, you're standing inside someone else's exit plan. Take profit or tighten your stop, fast.
