LP farmers are the reason why the project "mysteriously" gets stuck in the mud.
Sometimes it's accidental, sometimes it's not. But the incentive mechanism is the same: tight ranges generate fee income for LP farmers. They rush in when they see $94,000 in trading volume within 5 minutes... sometimes investing far beyond the token's market cap in a reasonable range. Balanced liquidity looks clean, but in meme coins, it's actually a red flag. 50/50 near-price liquidity in high-risk assets means high friction. The market wants to see clear upward asymmetry, not "perfect balance." The result? Price stagnation, range-bound oscillation, and loss of momentum. The liquidity mechanism traps the price in a cage. Can you tell if the token's stagnation is because the project is dying... or because the liquidity mechanism is pinning the price?
