Why Price Surges
A Price Surges alert means price moved sharply inside a short window.
Momentum alerts show that something is moving, not why. LS Trading Journal reads Price Surges on Robinhood Chain as a question: who is driving the move, and can the pool absorb it?
LS Trading Journal 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.
One habit: Look at how many distinct buyers joined during the move, not only the volume total. Check whether the move started before or after the first public call.

Our method
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
Step 1
Decide your exit before you enter, including the price where you are wrong.
Step 2
Check holder concentration after excluding pool and burn wallets.
Step 3
Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is.
Step 4
Look for bundled launch buys: several wallets buying in the same block.
Step 5
Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size.
