We have seen many times pumping of some coins or tokens which are sitting stable for longer time suddenly peak up and reaches its ATH value within few hours. In this post, I would like to share information about what is crypto pumping, how crypto pumping happens & how to collect news about crypto pumping so that we can take advantage & generate maximum profit out of crypto pumping with trading.

What is Cryptocurrency Pumping?
a) Artificial pumping:- Basically Crypro pumping can be done by the big community of traders in which big traders buy the coin first which is to be pumped before creating fake buzz. After Creating fake buzz they decide the time & announced to the world about coins pumping through their telegram community which have more than 1.5 lacs or 2.5 lacs members, for example, buy "X" coin on BINANCE at 8 PM. After the announcement, these telegram community members buy that "X" coins and we see a sudden spike in that coin in few hours & we see the pump of the coin. In this duration of pumping when that coin reaches its highest peak, big traders start to sale that coin and in few hours we can observe the drastic drop in that coin. This is called artificial pump and dump of coins in which some traders make the huge profit and some make a huge loss. These artificial pumps can be observed generally in the coins which are not good in terms of their technology or not that much famous.

Example : The champion (TCC)

b) Natural Pumping:- Natural pump of the coin takes the shape according to the news and trend on good coins for example there is a news on the development of coins like testnet, mainnet, Node integration or partnerships announcement etc. We can take the big example of VERGECURRENCY which announced in April 2018 about the upcoming partnership on their twitter account. Their community is big everyone was speculating that verge will make the partnership with amazon or Flipkart or apple. In this period Verge reached 500 Satoshi to 1300 Satoshi which means double profit. When they revealed their partnership with pornhub, price of the verge gone down again around 600 Satoshi.

from this example, we can learn people who got information first and took action to invest in VERGE would have really made profit. Take another example of TRON & EOS Mainnet Launch, peoples who have grabbed information first and took advantage of this news and invested made the profit.

Now the point is How to collect these information & upcoming Trends First???
1) Follow Twitter profile of all top 100 to 200 top coins listed on CMC, in this way whenever they will announced any upcoming news like partnership, development, testnet, mainnet & forks you will be the fast to get those news and get time to take action.
2) Follow Coinmarketcal, CoinMarketCal.com is a free and collaborative economic calendar presenting all the upcoming events in the world of cryptomonies. With these site you can track all important events.
3) Follow big websites related to cryptocurrency Like Cointelegraph, bitcoinist, techbullion, bitcoin.com etc and activate push notification,these websites also gives useful news about market trends.

From these post we can learn how to collect the trend and take advantage of these trends. Also keep in mind whenever you enter in market on basis of these trends and invest on particular project lets say example of mainnet, buy coins and sale on right time like 1 week before mainnet date or when you feel you have made sufficient profit. Don't wait till end result of these trend because we cannot predict any coins peak it can go again up after mainnet or go down just make your profit at right time & be satiesfied with whatever profit you will make with these trends.

Thanks for a very informative article.

This can be posted as a blog post too for Noobs.

Also you can read upon the Bitcoin Bravado fiasco to get an inside scoop of artificial pump, BTW I personally feel that all pumps are artificial.

Logically, every coins, in particular and crypto market in general have their own reasons for pumping or dumping and there're few people know it though it's natural or artificial one. For technical traders, they don't care much about the news from dev team or common market because they just believe in their charts which has illustrated all. For FA traders, they follow your 3 points of collecting information and evaluate coins by their own. As, for me, I prefer combining both TA and FA to make a decision myself.

The only way one can benefit from a pump without having a prior knowledge about it is pure coincidence because one can happen to invest based on patterns sighted and nothing else. Pump groups are everywhere now and targets are low market capitalization and unpopular ones which makes it difficult for one to really identify when the pump is going to happen and the duration that it would last. The best would be to get in quickly and exit fast.

Nice information dude. I read to the very end. It will sure help a lot of newbies to ensure they don't pumps and get burnt. I wish I had smerit to give your for this one. The only to profit from pumps to have prior knowledge of it and take position, entering while the pump is one is huge risk.

I love the writings made by op, I hope this knowledge can help and understand everyone, especially beginners.

But sometimes I am sad when many people complain with their disappointment to the pump, because they are people who buy when the price is at its peak and for me they are the most unlucky people, they will be trapped and suffered loss.

Therefore do not trade just follow trends or group signals and if you do not understand then it is better not to follow it.

  Thanks for a very informative tip, it can really help a lot like me that still in the process of learning but in addition to this, buy only when the price at its lowest because it will a good profit when it pumps.

the categorization is good but i don't like the names "Artificial pumping" and "Natural Pumping" because there is nothing natural about a pump to begin with.

they are more like "pump without a reason" and "pump with a reason".
"without reason" means a random coin is selected by the pump group and they pump the shit out of it. it is like all these dead coins worth 1 satoshi and less that get pumped 100x
"with reason" is basically the same thing but they use some arbitrary reason such as that partnership or listing on an exchange or anything random like that!

Or you can get lucky and buy in early. The problem is not getting too greedy and selling for just a slight profit. If you hold too long, the price is going to crash almost instantly and you'll just be holding the coins you bought or selling at a loss.

Great article mate, though i will say that while your advice on how to identify trends for pumps and hype on coins is pretty good, i think more people will always lose money on these sort of pumps when it inevitably dumps, concurrently i would advice that the best way to profit from these sort of crypto pumps is to simply stay away from it.

I do not think to follow Twitter profile of all top 100 to 200 top coins listed on CMC.
Strongly agree with the info you provide.
It is mandatory to follow it:

Thank you

We should always keep us away from these pump and dump group.
Only the big fish makes profit from these  pumps because they know the news before announcement and dumps on innocent people.
News based trading is comparatively less riskier than these pump and dump but in my opinion we should always do research before investing in any coin.

How get read of this condition check out in my next post on upcoming Friday I will be writing one more post about bull run and will explain about how to be safe from the situations you have mentioned.

That is some good information for the people who want to learn about crypto pumps and how to hold at various occasions. I believe such kind of information is hard to find and the post might be little be long but it will be very valuable to the users who want to go in trading. As most of the people just see notice the sudden growth in the price of the coin they are holding, investing or trading nothing else I think we should study the behavior of charts and think deeply before taking any step as it is not as simple as it looks in crypto market.

Thanks for the article. Little investors should stay away from artificial pumps. You will loose %90
I checked the timing of a pump group.

1- pump groups pick a coin with low volume, therefore they can manipulate the price easily
A couple hours before the pump small pumps start to occur. That’s because they are buying piece by piece. Then they tell their paid groups. They also increase the price.

2- the price will be a little pumped before the pump time.
Just 1 minute before the pump the price goes up minimum %20-50.
At the first 3 minutes of the pump the magic happens. If you hop in and out which is really hard you can get a little profit. But if you miss 5 minutes you will loose for sure.

I observed this.
If you are a little player please dont attend these stuff. You will loose your investment

Before buying any coin, make sure you know what is happening to that coin because there might be some news about it in the future or maybe bad news so it is important that research should be done first. Participating in pump and dump is not a good idea because those who bought early would surely dump their coins when the price go up and when you notice the coin when it is already up then better leave it and find another coin. Don't chase the highs because there is a high possibility you will just be dumped on.


That's the reason you should buy a coin when it is still low in price but good fundamentals. There are so many pump and dump groups nowadays and they just choose what exchange they would pump a coin. Studying the price action of the coin would be a good way of spotting some coins that might be pump in the future like increasing volume but still low in price.

Whales specially make this operation to remove more money from a small and cheap coin in its best times. We just have to get at precisely this moment of time and snatch our piece of the pie, that's all the cunning. So here you need knowledge and good luck.

Now a days it can be a good coin also see saga of EOS mannet, it's all about psychology of traders, I will explain in my next post. Whales know how to catch the fish and we all have to learn how to be safe from catching smartly.

That is good share for beginner. For unknown coins artificial pumping is normal. That's why most buy top coins to avoid big loss. But if you are in group operating artificial pumping, that will help you to have profit quickly. on the premise that the group is really good at doing artificial pumping.

For a new member, this article is actually very informative. I especially like the part quoted below:


I would like to note however that you should not follow Bitcoin.com because that is a SCAM website that has many times over caused dips in bitcoin price. Bitcoin.com and BitcoinCash are plagues we should as much as possible try to avoid and ignore.

Good post OP, I agree with statement of being satisfied whatever the amount of profit is. It will be better to set a target price so that you will not regret but you should have strong hands as well. With the artificial pump, honestly I've a lot of that specially in ddex, edelta, and fdelta. Being a trader is hard since you to observe the market every now and then.

I have tried that method. Buying before any announcement or big news that is going to happen and it just given me a huge disappoinment. No one can really predict how things will go all we can is hope for the better.

A bunch of people buying a shitton of the coin to drive up the price. Then a lot of people follow, because 99% of the people buy when it’s high already and sell when they take too much of a loss..

Therefore you can “pump” and “dump” a coin, which usually follows as soon as they can dump all their acquired coins.

Really that it is very profitable for some people because they can get a chance to achieve a huge profit margin. but many people are harmed, those who suffer losses are people who experience dumping and prices do not increase again. they buy at a high price and have not had time to sell it. this is only beneficial for some groups only. honestly that I do not like this because it is what can reduce the public and government trust in digital currencies. the dumping and pumping process is a strategy, but the very fast and big price changes have made the market unrestrained and have a tremendous panic.
