Yunus' Wide Bid-Ask Flip: A Profitable Strategy for Meme Token Liquidity Providers on Solana

Yunus' Wide Bid-Ask Flip: A Profitable Strategy for Meme Token Liquidity Providers on Solana

If you've been scrolling through crypto Twitter—sorry, X—you might have stumbled upon @0xyunss dropping gems on liquidity providing strategies. Recently, Meteora AG spotlighted one of his favorites in their Fee Strategy Friday series: the Wide Bid-Ask Flip Strategy. This approach is tailor-made for the wild world of meme tokens on Solana, where pumps and dumps happen faster than you can say "to the moon." Let's dive into how this setup can turn volatility into your best friend, all while keeping risks in check.

Fee Strategy Friday featuring Yunus' Wide Bid-Ask Flip Strategy

Setting Up for the Inevitable Dump

Meme tokens are notorious for their explosive runs followed by sharp corrections. If you've missed the early pump and spot a token hitting all-time highs (ATH) with fading volume, that's your cue. Instead of shorting or chasing the dip blindly, Yunus recommends deploying liquidity strategically on platforms like Meteora's Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) pools.

Here's the play: Go single-sided with SOL (Solana's native token) using a wide bid-ask spread. Set your lower range to about -60% from the current price, anchoring the bottom at the last major support level. This wide spread helps minimize impermanent loss (IL)—that pesky phenomenon where your pooled assets lose value due to price swings compared to just holding them.

Why does this work for memes? These tokens thrive on hype, but when the rug pull or copycats appear, dumps are brutal. Your position is primed to catch the action without getting wrecked.

Thriving in the Chaos of a Token Dump

When the dump hits—and it will—volume spikes as panic sellers flood the market and dip buyers jump in. This is where traditional traders often bleed out, but liquidity providers (LPs) with wide bid-ask setups feast on fees.

In DLMM pools, fees are generated from every trade that crosses your liquidity range. With low IL thanks to the wide spread, you're positioned right in the volatility sweet spot. Meme tokens amplify this: their communities can turn a dead cat bounce into a frenzy, racking up trades and padding your wallet.

The Flip: Turning Out-of-Range into Opportunity

Eventually, as the price craters, your position might go out-of-range (OOR), meaning your SOL gets swapped for the meme token. Don't panic—this is part of the plan. Yunus outlines two flip options:

  • Option A: Switch to Spot (Token-Side LP)​ – Ideal for "vamped" tokens with hyperactive communities and massive volume. Expect a retrace? This lets you farm even more fees without selling at the bottom.

  • Option B: Revert to Wide Bid-Ask (Token Side)​ – Use this if you're betting on a strong bounce and want to capture deeper fees.

The key is reading the market: Check community sentiment on X or Discord. Is the meme still buzzing, or is it fading? Flipping smartly can turn a potential loss into a +49% win, as Yunus demonstrated.

Knowing When to Exit: Signals and Gut Feel

Riding the retrace is thrilling, but greed can kill. Watch for exit signals like the upper Bollinger Band breaking, RSI hitting over 90, or your profit-and-loss (PnL) turning green. Yunus emphasizes trusting your gut—take profits when it feels right. Fees compound over time, growing your stack without overexposure.

Key Takeaways for Meme Token LPs

From Yunus' breakdown, a few lessons stand out for anyone dipping into Solana's meme ecosystem:

  • Wide bid-ask at ATH shields you from severe IL.
  • The flip mechanic transforms OOR moments into profit engines.
  • Always gauge community vibe—active memes rebound harder.
  • Don't get greedy; compound fees wisely.

This strategy isn't just theory—it's battle-tested on volatile assets like meme tokens. If you're building liquidity on Solana, tools like Meteora's DLMM make it accessible. Check out the full thread on X for more visuals and community reactions.
