Candles
Each candle is one period: where it opened, its high, its low and its close. Green closed above its open, red below. Long wicks mean the price went there and was rejected: a long upper wick after a run is sellers waiting.
Timeframes
A new coin's whole life can fit in a few minutes, so 1-second and 15-second candles show what a 1-minute chart hides. After the first hour, 1-minute and 5-minute candles show the trend.
Volume
Volume confirms a move only if many different wallets make it. Ten wallets trading back and forth make volume too; check holders and trades, not just the bars.
Who is on the chart
The question a memecoin chart really answers is who bought and who sold. On BLIX the dev, every callout and known traders sit on the candle where they traded, so a big red candle reads as "the dev sold" rather than a mystery.
The chart, with the traders on it
Candles are built from real trades, from 1-second to daily, with the trades list refreshed every two seconds. Known traders' faces sit on the exact candle where they bought and sold, with the dev and every callout, so you see who is in and who left. The header's market cap is always the chart's last close.
Patterns that repeat
- Launch spike, then bleed: snipers and bundles sell into the first buyers.
- Final stretch push: volume rises as the curve nears completion.
- Migration dip: some holders sell the moment it graduates.
- Higher lows after the first run: the shape runners usually show.

Frequently asked questions
Why are memecoin charts in market cap?
Prices have many zeros and supplies differ; market cap is comparable at a glance and is how traders talk about entries and exits.
What timeframe should I use for memecoins?
1-second or 15-second for the first minutes, 1-minute for the first hour, then 5-minute or longer.
How do I see who is buying on a chart?
BLIX puts the dev, callouts and known traders on the candles where they bought and sold.
