Step 1: Gauge Social Media Hype

   • Filters:
     • Galaxy Score > 70 (High engagement = strong price action).
     • Social Volume Surge > 200% in 24 hours.
     • Trending Coins with Whale Accumulation.
   • Pro Move: Compare Social Volume vs. Trading Volume. If social mentions spike before price pumps, the hype is real!
2. Santiment:
   • Filters:
     • Twitter Mentions & Social Dominance increasing.
     • Funding Rate on Perpetuals (If negative, shorts are trapped & price can squeeze up).
