The Feds Are Buying
The Feds Are Buying tracks Price Surges alerts on Solana, measures how they played out, and links you to the Telegram channel that posts them first.
What this desk watches
A Price Surges alert means price moved sharply inside a short window.
Momentum alerts show that something is moving, not why. The Feds Are Buying reads Price Surges on Solana as a question: who is driving the move, and can the pool absorb it?
The Feds Are Buying tracks Price Surges because moves show up there first. The desk then compares volume with liquidity, holder count and wallet spread before it treats a move as real.
Start here: Divide 24-hour volume by liquidity. A very high ratio can mean churn between a few wallets. Look at how many distinct buyers joined during the move, not only the volume total.

The checklist
Every Price Surges alert gets the same checks at The Feds Are Buying.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Check the first minutes for same-block buys from linked wallets. |
| 2 | Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window. |
| 3 | Look at what the creator address launched before and how those ended. |
| 4 | Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast. |
| 5 | Copy the full contract address from the alert, never the ticker. |
What passes here
The Feds Are Buying does not show every Price Surges alert. It applies one fixed screen, and the live board above uses the same rule:
- market cap at least $20.0K
- top-10 wallets holding at most 30 %
Checked against the latest 36 alerts in the lane (about 2 hours): 30 passed. Those that passed had a median market cap of $504.4K, median liquidity of $71.3K and about 1590 holders. 3 out of 36 alerts showed a pool smaller than a tenth of the cap — a warning sign on its own. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 22 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-24 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
