In the fast-paced world of crypto, where prices can swing wildly overnight, it's always refreshing to stumble upon advice that stands the test of time. That's exactly what happened when @ThisIsNuse retweeted a gem from @blknoiz06 (better known as Ansem) back in September 2025. The original post from February analyzed the aftermath of a major market dump, and it was so spot-on that @ThisIsNuse didn't even realize it was an old tweet until the end. As someone who's covered crypto highs and lows, I can tell you this kind of evergreen wisdom is gold for anyone trading meme tokens.

Let's break it down. Ansem starts by highlighting the importance of the upcoming weekly candle close – that's basically the final price snapshot for the week on a crypto chart, which traders use to gauge momentum. He points out two key ranges to watch: the weekly high and low from the recent dump, and the higher timeframe (HTF) range highs and lows.

First off, that weekly range is crucial because it came during the year's biggest liquidation event. Liquidations happen when leveraged positions get force-closed due to insufficient collateral – think of it as the market kicking out overextended traders. For example, a 5x long position (betting on price going up with borrowed money) gets liquidated if the price drops 20%. This creates "forced selling," where positions are automatically sold off, driving prices even lower. Ansem notes that these lows often mark spots where big spot buyers (folks buying outright, no leverage) step in to halt the bleed. So, shorting (betting on further drops) right after isn't smart – on a retest, you won't have that same panic selling pushing prices down.

On the flip side, the weekly highs represent where sellers regained control, overwhelming demand. Traders who didn't sell earlier might be looking to exit at breakeven around there. Ansem suggests we could be stuck in this range for a while, with breakouts signaling strong moves either way. And as we approach those highs, expect the crypto Twitter (CT) hype to ramp up with chants of "we're so back" or "alt season is here."

Shifting to the bigger picture, those HTF ranges show trend changes. Most altcoins – that's alternative cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, including many meme tokens – broke down from their multi-month ranges, signaling a bearish shift. Your default bias should be expecting lower highs after lower lows, and let the market prove otherwise before going bullish. Those old support levels? They're now likely resistance, perfect spots to derisk (sell some holdings to lock in profits or reduce exposure).

Ansem wraps up with a personal take: most alts, including meme tokens, might need a few months to bounce back. He's open to being wrong, but emphasizes doing your own research (DYOR) and not financial advice (NFA).

Why does this matter for meme tokens specifically? Meme coins thrive on hype and community, but they're extra volatile alts, often on chains like Solana. In a post-dump world, as Ansem describes, they could face prolonged sideways action or further dips before recovery. If you're holding something like a dog-themed token or a viral cat meme, watch those ranges closely. A breakout above the weekly high could spark the next frenzy, but until then, patience is key.
