What a flag is

A tier tells you the overall read. A flag tells you why, in plain language. Flags are the human-readable layer on top of the score, the specific patterns worth knowing about on a given wallet or token. A flag is directional, not a conviction. Some are a hard warning. Others are just context you should weigh. A flag can show up even on an otherwise reasonable tier, and that combination is often the most useful thing on the read, because it tells you exactly where to look before you commit to anything. The list below covers the common ones. It is not exhaustive, and it grows as new patterns show up in the wild.
Behavior consistent with a token you can buy but cannot sell. This is one of the more serious flags. When you see it, treat the token as a trap until you have proven otherwise yourself.
A wave of wallets buying inside the same window in a way that looks organized rather than organic. It is how fake demand gets manufactured. It does not always mean a scam, but it means the interest you are looking at may not be real.
Holders moving to exit together, in lockstep, the way a group does when it is preparing to dump. A warning that the people closest to the token may be heading for the door.
The holders are mostly fresh, low-trust, or farm-style wallets rather than addresses with real histories. A crowd that looks bigger than it is, made of accounts that do not mean much.
On a wallet, activity whose rhythm reads as scripted rather than human. This is context, not a verdict. Plenty of legitimate automation exists, so weigh it against everything else on the read.
The wallet that launched the token has little or no track record of its own. Not damning on its own, but it means there is no history standing behind the launch yet.
Trading volume that looks padded or recycled rather than genuine. A sign the activity may be there to create an impression rather than reflect real demand.
Flags point you at behavior worth checking. They do not make the decision for you, and the presence or absence of a flag is never a guarantee on its own. Read them together with the tier and your own judgment.
