The 5 simplest signals to determine whether a coin is in a strong trend:

First, the trading volume must be high, which is easy to understand. Just like the PEPE wave, the daily trading volume jumped from tens of millions of dollars to billions, indicating genuine capital entering the market.

Second, the volume should continue to expand. It's not about occasional spikes in volume, but an overall trend where trading volume gradually increases.

Third, the price moves in a long-term single direction. For example, SOL's rally last year was basically a one-sided upward trend with a clear direction. The longer the duration, the more credible the trend.

Fourth, the price structure shows a stair-step upward pattern, climbing step by step. Each upward move is noticeably larger than the retracement.

Fifth, each correction is shallow. During price pullbacks, the counter-trend moves are usually small and quickly absorbed by buying interest.
