its answer

The relevant token is Ethereum [PEPE](https://app.nansen.ai/token-god-mode?tokenAddress=0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933&chain=ethereum), not the Hyperliquid perp or similarly named tokens. Smart Money is **not aping PEPE hard today**: smart-trader/fund netflow was **$0 over 24h** and only **+$4.6K over 7 days**. The stronger signal is distribution risk—exchange wallets received **$1.5M over 1 day** (2.2× average), while fresh wallets received **$1.4M**. Price rose **12.44% over 7 days**, with RSI at **55.9**, but the onchain data does not confirm aggressive smart-money accumulation.

    → the primary signal: Smart Money / Whale net flow vs the threshold

  3. 3tgm/who-bought-sold1 cr × 2

    buyers and sellers filtered to Smart Money labels, by USD

    → who exactly bought and sold in the last 24 h

  4. 4smart-money/netflow5 cr

    the Smart Money table filtered to the token

    → is it on Nansen's Smart Money screen at all

  5. 5tgm/token-ohlcv1 cr

    24 hourly candles

    → did the price already move (the claim is late)

  6. 6tgm/holders5 cr · whale / holding claims

    → whale claims: are the whales' balances actually growing
