Warning signal

High Buy Ratio

Buys outnumber sells by 10x or more - abnormal trading distribution.

Analyzer: Swap Activity
Slug: high_buy_ratio

What it means

Even healthy memecoins settle near a 60/40 or 70/30 buy/sell split within a few hours. A persistent 90%+ buy ratio is anomalous and usually signals either a soft honeypot or coordinated buy-only manipulation.

Why it matters

Sustained buy ratios above 90% mean exits are rare. Either the contract restricts them, or the only sellers so far are insiders. Both are bad for retail.

How RektRadar detects it

Iterate the last 200 Swap events on the pair, classify each as buy or sell using token0/token1 reserves, and compute the ratio. Above 90% buys with at least 50 swaps raises the flag.
