Skip to main contentThe 10-minute window is not arbitrary. It is chosen based on how price, attention, and liquidity behave in fast crypto markets.
Across high-volatility assets, especially newly launched or socially coordinated tokens, price action follows a repeatable pattern:
- Rapid impulse move
- Short consolidation or retrace
- Either continuation or decay
On-chain data shows that a large fraction of failed retail entries occur before this first consolidation phase completes. By the 10-minute mark, the market has usually revealed one of three truths:
- Continuation – momentum sustains, validating the entry
- Reversion – price retraces, exposing FOMO-driven demand
- Stagnation – liquidity dries up, killing asymmetric upside
Rethink gives traders access to this information without committing capital.
During the buffer:
- Funds are locked, guaranteeing future execution access
- Price updates in real time
- Social momentum either strengthens or collapses
- The trader reassesses with new information, not vibes
From a decision-theory perspective, Rethink increases expected value by conditioning execution on additional signal. It doesn’t predict outcomes. It filters bad entries.
This is the same reason limit orders outperform market orders in volatile conditions. Rethink simply applies that logic to time instead of price.
