Bull Run Playbook: Finding Coins Before Everyone Else

Introduction

Every bull run has its heroes โ€” coins that go from whispers on crypto Twitter to headlines on Bloomberg. The million-dollar question is: how do you find them before everyone else does?

Spoiler: itโ€™s not about luck. Itโ€™s about patterns.

Letโ€™s break down the playbook seasoned crypto investors quietly follow before the next wave hits.


1. Start Where Innovation Brews

Every bull run is powered by a new narrative โ€” a breakthrough idea that captures attention and liquidity.

  • 2017:ย ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings)
  • 2020:ย DeFi Summer
  • 2021:ย NFTs and Metaverse
  • 2024โ€“25:ย AI, Restaking, RWAs, and Layer-2 ecosystems

Smart investors watch where builders are going, not where prices already pumped.

If you see dev activity on GitHub rising, projects getting VC funding, or communities forming before hype โ€” thatโ€™s your early signal.

The crowd follows coins.
Pros follow narratives.


2. Research Teams Like Youโ€™re Hiring Them

Behind every moonshot coin is a team that executes.

Before you invest, dig deeper:

  • Who are the founders? Have they built something successful before?
  • Is the project transparent about funding and partnerships?
  • Do they ship updates regularly, or just post memes?

Projects with strong execution tend to survive the bear markets and thrive in the bull ones. Remember โ€” hype can carry you for a few weeks; good teams carry you for years.


3. Follow Liquidity and Ecosystem Growth

Liquidity is the oxygen of crypto. A project might be revolutionary, but if no one can trade it โ€” itโ€™s dead weight.

Check where the coin is being listed:

  • Is it gaining listings on major exchanges or DeFi pools?
  • Are whales accumulating or dumping? (Use tools like Nansen or Lookonchain.)
  • Is total value locked (TVL) or on-chain activity trending up?

When liquidity flows in quietly, price follows loudly.


4. Read Social Sentiment โ€” But Filter the Noise

Crypto is a social market. Narratives move faster than fundamentals sometimes.

Follow X (Twitter), Discords, and Telegrams โ€” but donโ€™t chase every trend.
Instead, use tools like LunarCrush or Santiment to track engagement spikes. When mentions start rising before price does โ€” thatโ€™s your early alpha.


5. Position Early, Exit Wisely

The best investors donโ€™t chase pumps โ€” they plant early and harvest when euphoria peaks.

Accumulate quality projects quietly, set targets, and stick to your exit plan. The hardest part of a bull run isnโ€™t finding good coins โ€” itโ€™s not losing discipline when everything turns green.

Everyone wants to ride the wave.
Few know when to get off the board.


Final Thought

Finding the next big coin isnโ€™t about prediction โ€” itโ€™s about preparation.
If you follow innovation, study teams, track liquidity, and stay patient, you wonโ€™t need luck.

Because when the next bull run hits, youโ€™ll already be holding what everyone else isย just discovering.ย
