When a token surges dramatically but still has 10% of its total supply sitting around the sub-$5K zone, that's usually a red flag. Why? Because it means the project's upside potential might already be priced in. The sheer availability of coins at those lower price levels creates a massive supply wall—essentially, it becomes a ceiling for future growth. Holders who got in early will likely take profits, and new buyers face resistance. That's when you know the momentum's running on fumes. A healthy token typically tightens its lower-tier supply as it climbs. If it doesn't, it often signals the party's over.

It's the same old trick, a bunch of chips at low levels. No matter how sharply it rises, it's all just hype.

I'm too familiar with this trick; a bunch of low-priced chips are really a death trap.

Wow, this supply structure is really amazing. With so many low-priced chips, can it still go up? It'll crash sooner or later.

Damn, it's another supply trap. Early retail investors have already given up.

Basically, it's just that there are too many low-position chips, and early players are all waiting to harvest the leek.

Wow, this supply wall is really incredible. Those who entered early are definitely going to get chopped up.
