Reading the Single Buys lane
A Single Buys alert means a single followed wallet opened a position.
A buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. Bayou’s Journal uses the Single Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.
Bayou’s Journal reads on-chain buying as evidence, with limits. One wallet can split into ten; a fresh wallet can belong to the deployer. The checks below cover both cases.
Quick test: Check whether several buying wallets were funded from one source a few minutes earlier. Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy.

The filter
Every desk in the network filters differently. This is the screen Bayou’s Journal applies to the @empiresolsinglebuys lane:
- market cap at least $50.0K
- at least 100 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %
At build time the lane held 47 recent alerts covering about 1 hours; 1 of them cleared the screen. The passing group sat at a median $490.3K cap with $33.9K in the pool and roughly 148 holders. 9 of the 47 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. Across the whole lane, the ten largest wallets held a median 21 % of supply.
None of the recent alerts passed at build time, so the board may show a wider view until new alerts qualify.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
Before you click buy
Run these on every contract, in this order.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size. |
| 2 | Work from the contract address; tickers repeat across chains and copies. |
| 3 | Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is. |
| 4 | Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window. |
| 5 | Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast. |
| 6 | Size the position so a total loss does not change your week. |

Before you ask
What is Bayou’s Journal?
Bayou’s Journal is a Blackhat Crypto Empire desk that follows the Single Buys channel on Solana and shows the network's live alerts with the checks we use to read them.
How often does a Single Buys alert reach 2x?
Over 7 days of mature data, 20 % reached 2x inside a day. That is a measured past rate, not a forecast.
Is Bayou’s Journal financial advice?
No. The desk shows data and a checking method. It does not recommend buying or selling anything.
Where do the alerts come from?
From the Blackhat Empire alert network: on-chain data, launchpads, screeners and tracked wallets, filtered and posted to Telegram. The live board reads the same feed.
