What a Price Surges alert means
A Price Surges alert means price moved sharply inside a short window.
As a rule, price and volume spikes are common on Robinhood Chain. Most fade within hours. Legion keeps the Price Surges feed open to measure how many do not.
Momentum alerts show that something is moving, not why. Legion reads Price Surges on Robinhood Chain as a question: who is driving the move, and can the pool absorb it?
Start here: Check whether the move started before or after the first public call. Divide 24-hour volume by liquidity. A very high ratio can mean churn between a few wallets.

Our method
The routine Legion uses before trusting any Robinhood Chain alert.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is. |
| 2 | Open the deployer wallet and read its earlier launches. |
| 3 | Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet. |
| 4 | Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast. |
| 5 | Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size. |
