Buys vs sells are counts of trades, not dollars: a few large sells can outweigh hundreds of small buys.

Why this grade

3 wallets bought identical bagsSeveral big wallets bought exactly the same amount right at launch. That usually means one team grabbed lots of the coin early, spread across many wallets.

Liquidity is not lockedLiquidity is the pot of money that lets people swap the coin back for SOL. If it isn't locked, whoever filled the pot can take it away, and then nobody can sell.

Copycat of an older KimchiThis coin uses the same ticker as an older coin. Check you're looking at the one you meant, because copies are an easy trick.
