Hey guys,
I've checked some intersting altcoins which are pretty cheap now, the projects look promising and legit but I'm still afraid that they could be another pump and dumps (there were so many of them already!). What are the signs or metrics that send alert signals about the projects and I should check deeper or not risk my money? Or is it just impossible to tell if it's another pump and dump scam project.

well, it's hard to tell.
Pump and dumps don't have to be orchestrated by the project team itself.
usually with good projects it's done by 3rd parties, like marketing firms who were paid in these coins, or exchanges.
For example, one project i'm following paid bitcoin.com exchange listing in their coin, and they dumped their bags few days ago and downed the price by 95%.

But is a team usually aware that they are doing just pump and dump project or they just honestly do their job before a 3rd party perform pump and dump and make a coin worthless?

Altcoins are still not showing their performance, so far only Defi altcoins can go up,
top altcoins are still sluggish, even though Bitcoin prices have gone up so high to $ 15000,
hoping altcoins can be at the price level in 2018.

I think altcoins pump and dump are highly seen in newer projects as the team can once in awhile show they are still around, some will only pump once and that's it while in major projects, their developments spikes the pump and the dump is not as bad as those of the newer projects, which is also mostly as a result of market reactions. Now about knowing if a coin will pump and dump, it is always hard to tell because no one can correctly predict anything in the crypto space, hence whatever coin or mostly new coins you are investing in, with the hope of pump, you might only end up risking your money. Lastly, my humble opinion is, check out major coins like Ethereum, ADA and so on.

Congratz ! You found out what a risk is . I would recommend you to not invest the amount of money that you are not available to lose. You better start demo trading and you will find out signs or metrics that you are talking about.

Mention the names of some Altcoins here so everyone can help you in further checking, because every Altcoin that is born from a legitimate project will always be on some Altcoin ranking site, so that everyone can easily check through the site Altcoin ranking.

yeah, I think it's safer to invest in some altcoins that's been around for some time, on the other hand I doubt they will bring X50 or X100...it's dilemma btw fear and greed

Some of them: DeepOnion, Synthetix, Ankr, Tokoin, Fantom, Telcoin, Theta, Tomochain

If you find a good and promising altcoin, I think what you should analyze is whether it has a large daily average volume. Apart from that, I think the small bid and ask difference is an indication that the altcoin price movement is not a pump and dump

If you doubt those projects, you better not choose the project, especially if you know that the projects have a pump and dump. You can search for the other projects to buy and don't touch on those projects.


I am sure the team will be aware of the pump and dump from people, but I don't know how they can anticipate that. Maybe they will figure out that way, so their token/coin will not dump so hard.


In the next bull run, many coins will bring X50 or X100, but we don't know which coin that can get that pump. I don't think that is a dilemma because as long as you can search for the right coin by analyzing the project, you will find that many coins can have a better future.


From that list, I think DeepOnion and Fantom are old coins. But I don't know if that coin can increase again. Maybe you can search for other coins, so you can have the other list of the coin to invest.

it is very difficult to know if the project is good or a scam, but if you want to invest in altcoin then I advise you to invest in altcoin that are in the top 500 coinmarketcap, because the volume of this altcoin must be very high and it proves that many people believe to investing in this altcoin, so maybe you are safer to invest in this altcoin and of course the price will pump, because if many people believe to investing in this altcoin (top 500 on coinmarketcap), then the price of this altcoin will definitely increase very high.

There is away to find a pump and dump coins.

Look at the graph of that currency and check how long it takes for that coins to increase that price. If you can do much deeper research like finding review of traders or discussion about that coins about the project that's better than relying on graph .

Risking your money is always there every time you buy a coins even in stocks or forex trading there is always risk .it can be reduce if you are learning first the coins  you are buying but the risk will not disappear.

yeah, each increase in price, without a meaningful reason is probably close to pump and dump, especially if there is no general movement of the market, if there is a market movement in line with token pump, then it is much tougher to recognize that this token is rising just due to pump and dump schemes
nevertheless, do not invest money without your-own-analysis, there is substantial risk with each advice from the internet

Cheap altcoins doesn't mean that it will gonna have a bright future, usually those cheap altcoins are becoming more cheap as the time passing by so I usually avoid those altcoins because of the risks. I do not like investing in low market cap altcoins because they are the coins that are experiencing dump base on my experiences. I think people will listen to my advice and just buy altcoins that have high market capitalization and also 24 hour volume.

The very first metric you can use to get a list of potential altcoins is https://messari.io/screener

Create a free account and customize the screener with the metric: % down from ATH (all time high). You can add another metric (volume) and get a smaller list. A next thing to do is checking their developer activities and coming plans.

For plans or future events, you can get it with https://coindar.org/

I think it is called FOMO if I'm not mistake where you are entering in the peak of the price because you think that the price will go up more but suddently a huge dump will appear. If there a coin that goes up to 50% more in just 1 day, it doesn't mean that it will gonna be a good coin in the following days. Maybe it is a pump where there are whales who are manipulating that specific token. We should know when to enter and when to exit, avoid also buying at the peak of the price because there is a high chance that the price will go down.

Pump and dump is the natural process of altcoins. If you find proper project and keep update regularly in their telegram and other social medias or website, you can get update message of listing, token burn, update, swap, partnership and many updates. This updates can put positive or negative impact on its coin price. An ideal investor keeps updates regularly after investment. To find out you can check whitepaper, team, website and other details. If you finds any suspicious any information, avoid this project from investment.

If it's a new one, you can clearly tell if those projects are scam or not by checking the website, teams, the community and the coin itself. If you look at Scam accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) thread, you will see the pattern most of the scammers do to scam us. You should check it out and implement it into your case.

Pump and dump emptied my assets in Hotbit exchange. It taught me a scary lesson.
I bought SUSHI at $7 per token but I sold it less than a $1. I bought YFIB $29 per  token but it is less than a $1 now. I can go on and on.
I even invested in some DeFi projects that ran away with our money (investors).
Pump and dump is not nice for the business.

Pump and dump scams involve two groups of people. First, there are the players who artificially increase the price of a coin by promoting or endorsing it. While the modus operandi has changed, pump and dump schemes are alive and kicking in the altcoin market due to its unregulated nature.

If you think it's a pretty good opportunity, I suggest doing research on the project and their team. If the project has a good realistic value and they also have a credible team (it has been on blockchain or crypto for a long time) I think it is worth considering, the key is the realisticity of the project and its team

The previous years had already conditioned our minds not to believe all these prices pump already, I didn't even buy some tokens because I'm seeing this could just be a bull trap once again.  The top altcoins are acting the same way so you might just be buying the top ones just to be safe even if it means holding it for long term.


Today they can just do it using the exchange by biding high price while the number of tokens demanded is just too small. It doesn't need to have hundreds of USD to do it. They can even use the bots and that makes it easy for them to make money out of it.

Why are you afraid of making mistakes? You have to learn to make decisions on your own or else you won't get better at whatever you are doing, find a way that works for you, if you make mistakes just learn from it and continue, people still make money even from pump and dump projects but I'm not advising you to invest on pump and dump project.

Pump and dump is good process how give us much profit later, how come if coin always have pump and when we will entry to get profit. Many investor try to make many way how to see some coin with dump and give bad news to make many people panic for selling, they take chance to buy and invest with altcoin during many people panic for selling, this the moment where many people get chance with our panic moment to get later on higher price after investing. Don't worry if you see some coin have lower price because they will back later to higher price during bitcoin keep touch higher price and give impact for bitcoin raise up. If waiting altcoin always on the top price we can't entry because afraid when altcoin back lower price, so we have waiting when altcoin back to lower price for investing.

I would say to do short term investment, because there are few coins like kava, travila and few more these are fluctuating every week like the price goes up and down again. Buy more quantity and sell for reasonable profit trust me you will get good return.

before the sideways Bitcoin price the altcoin market will continue to be bearish,
especially when the Bitcoin dump, of course the altcoins will follow, and it happened yesterday,
Pump and dump happen continuously, it is very annoying, but it's part of the cycle.

They are really interesting altcoins but you still need proper research about the token so that you can avoid huge loses if ever. Pump and dump in altcoins are usually normal but not all altcoins has a sign of good project that's why need to be careful and do a proper research.

Not going to lie, it is going to hard to say if a project that is doing "good" is going to scam or not. I mean, there are projects that blatantly scream scam. You can see those altcoins price rising like 300x, even 1000x in few days. Those coins get pumped, dumb people fall for those pump, invests good amount of money in those shit coins, and then the developers instantly dump those coins. Only few (like 2/3 people and all the developers) make the profit while others (especially those who joined in late) loses almost everything.
I would say don't waste your time and money investing in those unknown new altcoins. Go for the well established and coins with active community. Lesser risk and more rewarding in the long run.

it's really hard to tell the difference between pumps and dumps token to legit tokens, since you've mentioned that you think they are promising may we ask what coins is it and what came into your mind that saying they are promising?

All are starting with very cheap price for them to make big profit in the end, yes it is promising that they gonna get you a big profit when you buy some. Nah if you are really looking for a good pump you always look for good trading sites that offers legit altcoin which gives you good profit in the end. If they gonna scam it in the end then you should start learning for more about facts, About pumping and dumping the owner can still manipulate it.

The word promising carried a lots of information that will give investors an outlook for future potentials, it's not just because of
how the developers build their whitepaper or something from the groups of people who are pointing to the project but there are
many factors to consider, most invetors and traders look with the usages and addition to the entire industry, if the project have it
then interest will flow around.

promising can be Those coins that promised big returns . that's one indication to tell if the token is legit or a pump and dump  . I will go on the projects that do what they say and not those who only promise like this and that but with no to Less action that are applied .

interesting coins can be different because those coins can be fresh on our eyes and have a smart and meaningful purpose  . He can go on to those interesting coins than to those promising ones .

New crypto coin shows this type of sudden pump and dump most of the time. And it's really hard to know the exact time of this circle before. I have seen few place and group where you may get alert about the pump earlier, but those news have no surety. And there is a high chance to fall in the trap of new altcoins pump and dump circle. So I think you should choose top coins of crypto market. Then analyze and observe the market, and gain profit slowly.

It is indeed very difficult for us to predict how the current crypto alt coin price movement because the slightest negative issue that spreads cryptocurrency will definitely make alt coin prices experience a significant price decline, and vice versa, so we must be observant in seeing how current conditions are so that with, so we can guess a little about where the market will move in the future, like now, one of the major events has happened, namely the election of Biden as the new president of America and I really think it will have a little impact on cryptocurrency in the world.

It would be nice before you want to question coins, let alone planning to invest in them, please state the coins you mean, at least some members can research and advise. If so then it is difficult to investigate, but it is up to you because you know about the coin. a little extra that to minimize the risk of loss, it's better to invest in the top coins only.

There are so many new project these days and it is hard what coin to invest. But usually I prefer the top coins also to minimize the risks. Crypto market is volatile so prior investing it is necessary to research which is good project to invest. We all know there is pump and dump altcoins so better let's due diligence which could help us to decide.

Unfortunately, you cannot determine 100% what will happen to this or that altcoin in which you want to invest. Even having a working product does not give a 100% chance of success for any crypto project. You must understand that if it were easy to determine which project and its cryptocurrency would be successful and which would not, then everyone would be able to make a lot of money. But this cannot be, because someone would make money. the other has to give the money. You will have to try hard to make the best choice. Personally, I have been choosing infrastructure projects lately, since they are launched focusing on the crypto market and its needs, and then one cannot say 100% that all such projects will be successful.

It's too difficult to predict anything when it comes to altcoin as we have not witnessed an appropriate pump when it comes to altcoins, it's bit risky to invest into altcoins at this point. We have already missed the right time to invest into altcoins.

All it will take is hardly few moments to shatter the altcoin market as it doesn't fightback like Bitcoin.

no one can ever tell if an altcoin is just a pump and dump. You have to understand the risk of investing to altcoin but somehow looking into their plan will make it more interesting. Hope well find good ones soon for long term

Stay away from altcoin whose price is pump up and then dump away because that is the hallmark of shitcoin. If you don't want to lose then consider not doing it there. You don't need to do further analysis of an altcoin that has been submerged in the market for a long time, it's much riskier and harder to bounce back. One more thing, don't trust the pump signal anywhere, it will only make you cry once you know it's a group game.

Why are you not interested in other altcoin that are already popular today like the top 10-20 altcoin ?
Despite the risk involved, these altcoin are much better than some of the altcoin you mentioned.

Actually their are lot of low price altcoin is available in the market.But the issue is only few are trusted and some are fake.Before investing in low price coin,you need to check the background of the project.Now lot of project is coming in cyptocurrency world,so it essential to check the background.Don't think about the price and inverse on Ethereum.

You must take into account little money supply, low inflation if it is masternode.

Also a good support from the community and this is seen in the markets.

And finally, to have a complete decentralization ...

This is easy, if you want to distinguish between pump and dump coins and those that have real potential then you need to really look at the project and all the circumstances and people behind it, for the most part pump and dump coins are either bad projects with nothing going on for them but hype or gimmicky coins that try to sell a particular characteristic as innovative when it is just another coin with no future, this year we have DeFi tokens, last year we had tokens that reduced their supply, there is always a new tendency on the market and you must never follow it because even if there could be a chance that you get lucky most likely you will lose whatever you invest in it.

If you are confused about the authenticity and legitimacy of an altcoin why do not you stick to the top alts that have already earned markets trust and have huge volumes with steady natural growth without any fake pump and dumps.

if you don't want to take the risk, thats mean you didn't ready to invest in cryptocurrencies buddy
remember all kind of investments, not only cryptocurrency is risky

Well the days of pump and dump coins are over as i do not see pump and dump groups and channels on telegram any more. Also if you trade at the top, established exchanges you will not find pump and dump coins but yes at low quality exchanges you can still find dozens of such coins so to be safe it is suggested to trade at top platforms only.

Most of the altcoins have the pump and dump nowadays. If you don't want to have the pump and dump, why don't you choose stable coins? Only stable coins which have less change in price, while other altcoins mostly have a significant change in price. We cannot avoid the pump and dump because there are many people who support and do it. They know how to take advantage of the pump and dump. Why you don't try to learn it?

This is a situation mostly everyone went through in the past, i had these bad experiences where the price of the token i am holding goes down and i still kept on holding hoping that it would pump at a later time and most of the coins are still in my possession and there is no use rather than holding those as some of the projects shut their door from further development after the crash. You should be wise enough to understand when to let go of the tokens if not it will be with you forever  :D.

You cannot actually tell. The price is motivated by the demand and the supply of the coin. These are based on how the people  view a project. Any coin can pump when there are a lot of people buying the idea of the project or the product or fomo-ing on the price increase.

Pump and dump are normal for new projects, usually, altcoin price somehow becomes stable once the project becomes established. But take note that even projects that are already established are susceptible to pump and dump not because of manipulation but due to the inherent volatility of the market. There is no specific metric but you can consider the total supply as a good indicator, the lower the supply is the easier the price changes in the market, but it still depends on the market volume.

I agree with you, it happens because liquidity is very small,
to avoid large volatility, liquidity must be increased so that pump and dumps do not occur frequently,
if the occasional pump and dump happens this is normal because usually the chart conditions are in a bearish and oversold state, so without any good news the price will pump due to a reversal.

Honestly, most of them are like that - pump and dump. You have the idea how they move like so this time you're wise to ask question before investing. Always DYOR, this is the most important if you are unsure of what you will be investing.
The possibility to tell a project is just a scam is easy. Fake team, copied whitepaper, fake volume and any other questionable issues that you can found through researching.

That is indeed like that most of the time.
If a project plans to pump and dump in the first place it will be marked as ponzi scheme afterwards I believe.
So its really hard to see which project will be profitable for regular investor beforehand.

To find out something like this, in my opinion, it is very difficult to trade Altcoins at this time, because the current Altcoin price cannot be predicted well, especially now that there are many new Altcoins, but my advice if you want to buy Altcoins on the exchange don't ever buy new Altcoins that are listed on exchanges, it's better to buy Altcoins that have been on the exchange for a long time and look for high volume, because if you buy new Altcoins there will be a big risk and you will experience losses.

This is not a strange thing in the crypto space, there will still be projects that will PUMP and DUMP, if you are lucky you can x x many times your assets, others you can lose everything both. I think this is a game more like a bad luck game than we go to find out and analyze the potential and value of such projects.

Most of the time Altcoin's pump or dump depends on Bitcoin's pump or dump.
 Bitcoin pump or dump is Altcoin dump.
 Altcoin is pumped only when Bitcoin is stable

I know only a potential coin make you beneficiary, the current markets are good, and pretty much just bullish. In crypto industry pump and dump are definite things, just keep buying and trading all these alt coins and convert it btc and eth or fiat, this is the manner by which you keeping up storing all this quick altcoin profits.

Crypto is still in a consolidation phase right now because of the recent voting election. It really affects the market and the pump and dump of altcoins. just DYOR when entering some shady project or just don't just to make sure.

If you buy a coins dump or a fast pump, you have to be careful, don't be greedy, take profits, never wait until the price of the coin rises too high, you will experience a loss, therefore you have to maximize the profit no matter what profit you get. sell it quickly, never wait too long.

If you are afraid then you aren't so sure about your research skills, so why do you want to take risks when you don't even know what you are doing? It's better to develop your research skills first or invest on popular top altcoins, atleast they are more safer than new altcoins

You should analyze the team behind a project. If they have a noce background with legit information, it is a good sign for a project. Also, you need to follow their social media account which give you information daily or weekly. Suddenly changing posting routine or being disappeared is a sign they might exit scam

Low coins are very charismatic but the risk is pretty high. So be careful whenver you want to invest your money to them. Money management is also a factor heping you reduce the danger. More time is needed to check several projects

Thanks for valuable info, yes I know it's better to analyze the project by myself instead of blindly trust the pitch and beautiful presentations.

Thanks for good points, but many projects that turned to be scams had very good social media account and seemed legit too..but I agree that if they deliver information regularly it add credibility.

Fake team and copied whitepaper I understand and it's not that difficult to check but how do you check the volume if it's fake or not?

It is better if you could make the list of these tokens you have found and add it to your post in order for others to help analyze them and give you an insight if you could invest in it or not. However, If they are defi tokens such as YFI and YFII, I am very sure you know the market volume is reducing which shows that the hypes are gone and traders are focusing on other coin especially Bitcoin and Ethereum

I do not recommend spending time on such projects, it will only cost you time and money if you are not awake to realize. So what are those projects? You should equip yourself with the necessary skills to learn about a project, i find you ambiguous in the way of talking about the uncertainty of such projects. But maybe there will be an exception here which is pump and dump, but it's dangerous if you don't try your luck on those projects and need to take it off and warn everyone.

If they know that a coin is a dump or pump, they will always be aware of it. The problem is that it is not easy to define it, the participants are always blind to reality. My experience is to check the trading volume for the most recent month and the liquidity of the exchanges they list.

Let your technical analysis guide you about pump and dump in the market, most often, there is always a sign of such occurrence being happening.

Actually it all depends on how they manage it and the procedures they apply have an influence on the growth of their project, if they are only looking for profit, then their token price will not be long even it will be destroyed, indeed not all projects like that also manage it with good and true even to this day it still survives today ..

Welcome to the world of crypto where coins are pumped and dumped at the same time.
Crypto is volatile. Only those that trade wisely makes It to the top by diversifying their investment.

The altcoin pump and dump can only be differentiated from a development perspective developments that continue to look good will make it an altcoin
will rise high by itself and vice versa if altcoin development of altcoin it stops and there is no update then the altcoins will dump even to ashes
so before investing you must follow the development of it altcoin

We can't 100% rely on technical analysis and we must also take another factor as the reason to determine the trend just like the fundamental thing that came from the news that published by the team before.
As far as i know the dump and pump will be based on the hype and this hype can be gathered by altcoins through publishing a good news to the public.
There will always be a reason for the pump to happen

Being on crypto for few years I could say that most of the new project always ends up like that.
Only few of them could make a come back after being dump for so low most of them would have a good price at the beginning but after a few days or weeks it would start to fall.

What you said is right, that's why it is impossible to keep on trading in the low volume exchanges. It is good to trade the coins in higher volume exchange because based on the company activity every coin will increase its price to the next level if they are actively trading in the market.

Investing in any altcoin hoping to raise prices is another way to get rich but get familiar with capital management. Just spend a small amount of money, compared to other investments so that when losing money, there is no regret.
In 2017, there were countless projects pumped up high and many people got rich from such altcoins.
I support investing in altcoin projects but it is best to invest little and be alert.

What are your bases in saying that those projects look promising and legit? It is hard to tell but a thorough and careful research would tell you whether a project is a scam or not.

Ask yourself in your research some of these important questions. What are their objectives? Why are they pursuing such objectives? Do they have a carefully laid out and practical plan on how to meet their goals? Who are the development team? Do they have a track record in blockchain and crypto? Have they released a working, tested, and used product? Have they created important partnerships?

Many altcoins out there are just pump and dump coins, it's really hard to tell, if a project or a coin is going be good or bad this days since scammers now make their project look very real, and it's always advisable to thread with care when it comes to crypto, just because the coins are cheap now does not mean the price will increase later on it just doesn't work that way, I think its better to invest in reputable altcoinsn like ETH now, after the ETH 2.0 launch the price will definitely skyrocket, investing in new projects are just too risky, you might lose all your capital in the process. Anyway risk is part of the business, you have to deal with it.

Pump and dump is the part of the crypto world and wisely choose top crypto for investment and never panic on dump.
We have seen that where BTC headed months ago and now see where BTC is heading and also other crypto following uptrend, look at LINK.
Always invest when you see panic market, in this way you can get best lowest price.

The fact is that crypto projects cannot constantly show the growth of their cryptocurrency, so the price can also go down. You can see this both on BTC and other top cryptocurrencies. Therefore, it makes no sense to look for crypto projects and altcoins that will only grow, there are simply no such ones. The whole point of the market is to play both up and down. This must be understood and accepted. It is better to learn how to enter and exit the market correctly.

Altcoin pump and dump are risky, these days, the trend for altcoins especially those from the Ethereum blockchain are the Defi projects. Most of the time, technical analysis isn't the basis for the pump and dump to the price of these tokens. It will be based on how good the marketing team and the developer team of the project perform in the market.

There are some instances that big shillers and influencers are targeting a potential altcoin to be pumped so its an advantage if we are also active on social media and messaging channels such as Twitter and telegram.

Altcoin are synonymous to dump and pump even the bigger father called Bitcoin. But the most lessons i have learned from these crops of altcoins is that, they don't have real life case use, this has made them be dumping grounds for investors. The only altcoins we should invest into should be that which has real case use, i mean real world usability. Don't invest into a coin without this ability, please.  

not all analysis techniques can not help because actually with this analysis can determine the steps in the future want to buy or sell even though it can't be accurate, at least it can help a little that is very sufficient.

To define a good project and can develop in the long term is difficult at present. the correct prediction rate cannot be higher than 50%, it is true.
but if you still want to take risk then I can introduce you to some potential projects like Kira Network and Folder Protocol. I have had confidence in them because both projects are actively expanding communities in many countries and their protocols are one level higher than the current new projects.
Besides, Folder Protocol can fix the problem of current Filecoin and it is considered as Big Gem in some big communities in Vietnam. So this is a good opportunity for you to invest in long-term in these projects. The important thing is to consult the project carefully before investing, I only give advice based on my experience.

First, study how scam projects look and behave. The more you study, the more clear the signs of such projects will become for you.
Keep track of how the team delivers on their promises, whether they follow the roadmap. Also, it will not be superfluous to study how the team communicates with its community, whether it answers all technical questions. You can also check the technical documentation for plagiarism.

Some (scammers) are aware, and they do it intentionally.
But a select few have a very good idea and/or project, but don't have any other choice.
It's hard to find funding these days, so they pay in their tokens

currently bitcoin dominates in all exchanges, buying altcoins from now on you have to see the All time low and the All time High, there must be a certain analysis, if you buy directly without analyzing it you could waste your money, think about it carefully

Who plans to invest in new projects should research them, ask about those projects around, and in the end all you can do is to decide to take a risk or not! When taking any kind of risk you need to know what you are doing, anyone can read more about it in many topics here.
I wish to point out one thing, it's when you are making finial decisions, it's you who are doing that and you will be responsible for all the profit and all the loses that comes, never forget that.

 Since covid-19 came to shake the world economy to zero level that is harding the government to grow the economy to normal level. Covid-19 also caused other currency to lose value during the pandemic that gave bitcoin the best among other cryptocurrencies in the market. Even altcoin reduced during the pandemic, that is making some investors wondering why altcoin is dumping by this season of the year, which is very close to 2021 that is making altcoin reduce. Bitcoin is still the best among other cryptocurrencies in terms of pumping in the market without dumping since we enter pandemic.
There are many new project in the market that is making investors doubt if the project are real project that will really bring out a good profit. The year is approaching where trader  will start to they experience fake project in the market which will cause some many people lose their profit.

The pump and dump phenomenon is a type of disease in crypto exchange. where this often makes novice investors give up at the beginning of the battle.
considerable risk in investing in altcoins that are likely to be lasting and profitable. they are novice investors who are trapped just because the price is cheap, so they can have quite a lot of assets. On the other hand there is nothing wrong with it, but what you need to do is not to hold it for too long. because the dump process can be easily done in seconds, and they will panic and hope the price will go up to the original position when they bought, even more dumps. So I recommend avoiding investing under the pretext of big profits in new altcoins.

Agree, because it is better to invest in alt coins that already have the trust of many people nowadays because to invest in a project, of course we must have a broad understanding in determining whether the project is good, it will be very beneficial for us if the project is managed to develop so that it is not uncommon for the token price to be higher than the ICO price, but we must also not forget that if the project fails / scam it will certainly make us lose the money we have, if we do not have sufficient knowledge in researching a project it is certainly better if we choose to invest safely by buying and storing Bitcoin and alt coins which already have a wide market.

You will never know when will a project be a pump and dump scam, but to avoid being scammed, I think you'll be needing to be more cautious and read what their project is all about. And if it's too good to be true, you should start doubting already.

If you already know the characteristics of a new project or new coin then you can reconsider not investing in it. but if you are confident in a project that you may have researched before then invest some of the money you have. see Bitcoin is starting to move significantly, why not take part in BTC?

when there is an product that stands out from the others you have to be careful ,it's different if the product has a future but you've researched project and are you sure it's legit? why are you afraid if you sure ,dont follow the sequence and maybe if you are afraid then you will get lost firend invest your money if you are sure by researching it first

We all have our favorite Altcoins list that we don't want to share, right? History reminds us that cryptocurrency couldn't dump with huge flow. Any altcoins hasn't high probability to dump without new altcoins and big announcement altcoins. Some new altcoins are still on the hype and there is a high chance to dump them.

good advice. If we still lack experience, it's a good idea to follow an analytical project from a skilled person, but make sure the sources are credible and neutral, and not paid for promotion. I often use the Ico analytic channel as a reference https://t.me/ico_analytic, the information is updated and is accompanied by interesting infographics.
and in this forum, there is also a subforum that discusses suspicious projects, which can also be used as a reference so that you don't get caught in a scam.

You are right, new hyped projects, especially Defi projects, will have a bigger chance to have pump-dump tokens. It is normal since people only focus on the hype and not really know what the project is. Most people just buy the tokens because they are hype lately. That's why once the hype disappeared, the price of the tokens are starting to dump. Yes, investing in top coins is safer if don't want to involve in pump-dump tokens.

our experience will help us to identify which project was scam and which is legit. if often be victim from fake project i am sure we could idenitfy from first sight. so joining on as much as group will help us to get information about scam projects.

I'm hoping the community in general has become a little more resistant to pump and dumps. I don't think it's very likely though, crypto is still set up perfectly to trick vulnerable people into thinking they're gonna make huge returns and running off with their money.

Thanks, I have noticed that too.

I agree with you at some point because bitcoin price is going higher, we tend to compare historical values and if we see the price much higher then current price would seem cheap. Maybe it's good time to buy some cheap altcoins and when the price of bitcoin stabilizes they will start moving up too (of course if the projects are legit and promising), like some people invested in LINK when the price was very cheap.

Thank you! I'd love to take a look at them if you really have confidence in them.

But if the tokens are worthless why would anybody accept them as payment?

What do you think is more influential, marketing and promotion or development? I mean as a regular person who would like to invest in some new and intersting project, but I'm not a tech-savvy girl and understand only some basics in IT so what I see mainly is advertising and marketing.

Actually the three things that you mention have an influence on each project, because projects that don't have good marketing will also not progress and projects that don't have good promotions will also not be easily recognized by many people and projects that don't have good development Nor will it progress in the future, so those three things have an influence on each project in my opinion.

Actually, it's very hard to tell because the pump dump of an alt project is not always projected team creation. Sometimes whales manipulate the market heavily and create this situation even the project is very good. But you can identify those types of projects by doing research about the team. If that team already has a past history of this type of activity then you should expect another one from them.

New projects in the Defi category are the most scary,
besides that it is enough to consider, yes from experience in 2018, new projects are always successful at the beginning,
and now almost 80% of new projects die and have no demand in the market, maybe same with new project in 2020.

DEFI pump fraud project, but not all. maybe like the example of YFIB when it was first listed on uniswap had a high selling value or equivalent to $ 28 and now it has dropped to $ 1. And maybe there are many other defi projects that have been pumping up and down to nothing. You need to consider before investing in any project.

almost all projects have experienced pump and dump but what is very important is risk management, there are many aspects that we must pay attention to to get maximum profit when we buy altcoins when ICO / IEO

I think altcoins siphon and dump are profoundly observed in more up to date extends as the group can once in for a spell show they are still near, some will just siphon once and that is it while in significant tasks. I normally maintain a strategic distance from those altcoins in light of the dangers. I don't care for putting resources into low market cap altcoins in light of the fact that they are the coins that are encountering dump base on my encounters.

almost all projects have experienced pump and dump but what is very important is risk management, there are many aspects that we must pay attention to to get maximum profit when we buy altcoins when ICO / IEO

Therefore, proper research and analysis is needed before deciding to invest in altcoins. In my opinion, an effective way to avoid
altcoins pump and dump, never join the trading signal group. Because most of the trading signal group, only use group members
to do pump and dump. Then be careful with coins with a small volume suddenly pump, or avoid buying hype coins. Because hype
coins are usually very close to pump and dump.

do a more in-depth analysis of project that you think is promising in the future. as you say, thousands of crypto projects just do pumps and dumps. there is no real action on their project. And worse their project is a scam. so when you have funds. and have a good project list. Will be better to analyze it, so that you will not lose and make your funds grow.

Pumps and dumps have indeed become part of cryptocurrency,
not just a new project, but everything including bitcoin, of course risk management, financial management, and emotional management must also be important things that you life in the crypto world.

If the market has a big enough attraction then I think it is possible for any coin, even for BTC. There are balances that I think the tremendous growth and growth potential in this market will not appear much, so the pump dump is like a game that people create to lure newcomers into the market and be careful with such projects.

It's impossible to foresee a coming pump or dump.
If it's a relatively new project that you are interested in, it would make sense to check the vesting schedule of the private and seed sale participants.
When there is an upcoming unlock of a big batch of tokens for early investors then it would probably make sense to wait for this unlock date first.
Some of those early investors might sell a chunk of their tokens which should result in a dropping price and therefore a better entry point for you. 

When updates stop coming from a project for a month, then investors get worried and start dumping massively. This is the more reason why team members / developers need to always get in touch with community and ensure community support is maintained. Also, when team sells a lot of tokens, trust is broken leading to massive sell off by investors. Once I invest in an altcoin project, I ensure I follow them on all social media, join the project community, most especially I turn on the tweet notifications. This helps me to know when team has given up on the project or to know if coin is worth holding or selling.

Crypto knowing whether a coin will siphon and dump, it is in every case hard to tell on the grounds that nobody can effectively foresee anything in the crypto space. I normally stay away from those altcoins on account of the dangers. I don't care for putting resources into low market cap altcoins in light of the fact that they are the coins that are encountering dump base on my encounters.

It is very difficult to predict the price of an alt coin in the market accurately because many factors that greatly influence this price movement, even so, at least we must be able to analyze existing information, so that we can make the right decisions when investment the crypto.
Likewise, with the problems you face in choosing a project for investment because now it is very difficult to distinguish between real and fake projects and my advice is better to ask for recommendations from people who are experienced in project investing because of the experience they have can certainly help you to choose a good and potential crypto project.

I have be into Crypto for years and have come to understand something's about trading. Once you arewant to trade, first understand what you are trading and best position to join. You don't have to buy at top knowing the fact it will definitely dump. Always know the best time and position to buy and trade.

Its not a wise decision to buy on top just because of FOMO.

Always check the coins if there's a basis for it to go to the moon in the future.

There are coins existing as pump and dump because it has no main uses that can solve real problem, beware of it.

Bitcoin is the mother of cryptocurrency and altcoin is the child of cryptocurrency.
 All the time the price of altcoin is increasing or decreasing due to the price of Bitcoin.
 Because altcoin always follows Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency market pumps and dumps continue like this all the time. If you invest in good quality coins, there is usually no loss. If you invest in a coin's future plant, you will not lose.

As the crypto market rises and falls so must the pump dump but currencies that are in high demand for investment pump up very quickly due to the rise in the price of bitcoin the demand for other currencies has declined everyone is holding on by investing in bitcoin. Due to which altcoin is being dumped but over time that is likely to change it will also pump up a lot if the demand for altcoin increases like bitcoin but the best currency to invest for the future is bitcoin.

now bitcoin dominates the market making Altcoin a dump and switching to bitcoin, but if you take the opportunity to see ATH and ATL in the altcoin you are monitoring maybe you know it will pump or dump, when I want to buy altcoins I will look at the ATH and ATL dna see the project roadmap schedule

I think altcoin's price goes up or down because Bitcoin's price goes up or down,
 What other reasons could there be?

To an extent, the altcoin prices are dependent on that of Bitcoin. But it should also be remembered that during the last few weeks, there was a sharp increase in Bitcoin dominance. It was around 57% two months back and now the market share has gone up to 65%. Most of the altcoins are declining against Bitcoin, although they seems to be stable against fiat currencies.

Altcoins are much more volatility than bitcoin. That is why they give more opportunities to earn money on pump and dumps. But altcoins do not have liquidity of Bitcoin. It is possible just to buy altcoin and not to sell it because the absence of liquidity. Also altcoin must be secure. This is an article about this https://bamboodefi.medium.com/

There are a lot of scammers so it is very important to be careful.  ???

Pump and dump is only possible with low volume coins and that too on bad quality exchanges like yobit etc where most coins are just for the sake of pump and dump and they provide no real use case. To avoid such coins you should trade only genuine projects.

sadly but some projects don't care about the future, they just want immediate profit

Agree with you and as many folks advise here I must do a thorough research before investing in some project.

I mentioned some in my previous posts but here some more: Theta, Utrust, BAT, ENJ, CRO

You have to be careful with dealing on the pump and dump of coins with less volume because it's very risky that it's possible we would end up as bag holder. of course I'm not saying you can't play with it, it's still up to an investors choice, if he is a risk taker, then maybe he will be playing with the pump and dump game for not so liquid altcoins.

I know about a rather unusual project with its own exchange. it is still at the start but has very ambitious plans also for some time the issue of coins will be in the form of pos mining . It is called Diplex Group

Altcoin that is conceived from an authentic undertaking will consistently be on some Altcoin positioning site, so everybody can without much of a stretch check through the site Altcoin positioning. I encourage you to put resources into altcoin that are in the main 500 coinmarketcap, on the grounds that the volume of this altcoin must be high and it demonstrates that numerous individuals accept to putting resources into this altcoin.

actually, the top 500 altcoin assets are not very secure. but it is good enough when looking at the volume of trades carried out on the exchange. as you say, they have a fairly high demand and are well-positioned. but the altcoin market was very easy to break down when bitcoin started to decline. Currently, altcoins are not in such a bad state because bitcoin is in a safe position. but when bitcoin collapses, it will be very dangerous for the altcoin market.

Many projects gather tens of millions of dollars from investors and they use it for either personal stuff to get paid or they just use it for the company behind the project and not the project itself directly (purchasing tokens back).

I believe if you gather 100 million dollars for a project, you can leave about 20% of that for token buy back for dire conditions, you could have 20 million dollars worth of cash at ready (probably at usdt or btc or eth) and if the price suddenly starts to drop a lot, you could buy it and give confidence to market and not allow it to go down too much, when traders see this they will definitely stop selling and they will even buy it to make it go up, you could sell smaller amounts during this period to gather that 20 million back and even have more tokens.

It's a risk to invest on altcoin even if you've do good analysis on the projects, anything can still happen and nothing is guaranteed, use diversity strategy so that the chances of getting positive results will be high, you can limit risks if you invest on top altcoins, 10 to 20 on coinmarketcap

The most important indicator is volume, a coin like bitcoin that has such a huge volume is almost impossible to pump and only those that have lots of bitcoin can do anything remotely close to that but when it comes to newer coins that have a very low volume and that for the most part a few whales like the developers control a great majority of the coins then those coins become extremely susceptible to being pumped, which is why no one should invest in those coins because just as they can pump they can dump and you can lose a fortune in the process.

On the otherside once your assessment executed correctly the profits are far higher.

It's  worth the risk if you  really prepared yourself to whatever possibilities may take place, doing your research gives you higher chances
of success. just make sure that you are willing to accept whatever happened and always have the patience to allow things to take place, being agrressive will only leads to on losing your entire investment, be calmed to have a good mindsets.

Indeed, it is very risky to invest in some projects that have less volume, you should be careful of what decision you make because one single mistake can lead to loss of profit. There are lots of projects out there and it is normal to them when it pumps or dumps since it is the nature of cryptocurrency itself, the volatility is normal as long as there are some uyers and holders of that particular token.

Pump and dump can be with all coins except for a few powerful top coins. The groups involved in this pump and dump are not all small, there are many large groups. These groups can play pump and dump games with any coin they want. There is no guarantee that big exchanges will not be pump and dump, now most of the large exchanges are involved in pump and dump. So in all cases investors and traders need to be a little more careful.

Basically no one will know for sure whether the project will be a big pump or a dump. But if the project's popularity is very high I think that is another signal that might make your investment safe but still, we can't expect much for the same selling price because the market situation itself will always be changing.

I wouldn't worry about pumps and dumps if you just invest in coins that aren't new. As early as of now, its best to grab a bag for the old coins we knew are likely going to blowup.

There are also coins with huge daily volume but the price still is less than $0.25, lots of them in the list on CMC.  It can only mean these projects has genuine traders there with millions of volume like the ADA, NEM, TRX and XLM.

Yes, because of of many speculations the pressure will be better to get investors attentions. There's no assurance or whatever since many project

relied with investors participations, the more it gained interest the more possibilities that the value will be pumped, just needed to be more extra

careful whenever you participate or invest ride safe and always aimed for potential profits and avoid losing more.

Sometimes Bitcoin also shows crazy volatility! And altcoins are still a more dangerous investment for me personally, but you're right, security is very important.

Some people are deliberately creating pump and dump on the coins they hold to make some money.
Even there are some group which is pump and dump the coin what we call trading signal group, usually on telegram.
When people take profit from pump and dump, i think the profit always come from the people who have loss.

If you still consider investing in Altcoins dangerous, then stay away from all Altcoins and always keep better than that, because every investment is purely from the heart and is voluntary according to what we have personally analyzed.

Yes this is the usual scheme for the altcoins and that has been observed to other altcoins like those with low supply in the market. YFI coin was one of the biggest pump of market that had happen. It even surpasses bitcoin market price per coin reaching up to 30K $. That is literally a good pump.and if you were able to hold the coin before the pump scheme then you have definitely high profit in that coin.

in my technical opinion you must take the risk if you define the token as potential. Pump and dump is always happening what important is your token can handle the dump and return to pump in due time. Also seems the pump and dump is normal in this crypto world. For example bitcoin from 9k few months ago and then now it is going to hit 17k. If the token is %100 potential then you must grab the opportunity.

Actually at some point ,this scheme is beneficial to other trader because the only thing you need is to ride and withdraw when reached the top.
the problem is the timing because in a matter of minute you can lose here.

I have some friends before(specially in 2018 when the altcoin season happens) that they come to invest and succeed in those Pump and Dump currency things that harder to observe now because scammers like them are Good at it and instead of us bagging money what will happen is the other way around.

From what I have seen, for the vast majority of the cryptocurrencies, the pump-and-dump cycle happens only once. If you fail to dump your tokens immediately after the first dump, then it is quite possible that you will remain stuck forever. The problem is that in most cases the promoters show little interest in a project, once they are able to collect as much as they can from the investors and traders. They will move on to another project rather than trying to revive it.

Yes, that's right, but coins like YFI are not suitable to hold for a long time because when a coin can be easily pumped until the price can pass the Bitcoin price in one unit, then the potential for decline is also very large in a matter of days, so caution is needed be careful in holding it.

You Need a Warm welcome to Crypto world specially to Shitcoins.Dont worry there are tons of something like that along the way,the only thng you understand and memorize that never fell in good promises,if its too good to be true surely it is a scam.
Whales are bagging money from manipulating those pump and dump coins so learn from advises here.and continue being observant .

I ordinarily stay away from those altcoins in light of the dangers. I don't care for putting resources into low market cap altcoins in light of the fact that they are the coins that are encountering dump base on my encounters. Altcoins the vast majority of the individuals who dump the cost are whale dealers or short merchants you don't have anything to stress over if hold altcoins have potential and long-term in light of the fact.

Yes. Cryptocurrencies do have ups and downs, but here we are talking about price manipulation on a massive scale, where the prices first get pumped by 10x or 20x in a matter of few days and then go back to the previous level after a few days or weeks. However this is rare among the established coins as it is not easy to manipulate their exchange rates. However, what happened to BSV early this year can be termed as "pump and dump".

In my opinion
 Altcoin pump or dump depends on whether the price of Bitcoin increases or decreases.
 Because Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency.

The pump and dump of altcoins are just normal in the market as we expected. When Bitcoin goes pump very rapidly expect that Altcoins will go dump. When Bitcoin goes dump rapidly still expect the Altcoins to go dump. But when Bitcoin becomes stable in its price then it's time to party for Altcoins hodlers. On the other hand, there are still Altcoins who goes pump depends on the project.

There is obviously a huge risk attached to buying these coins - which is why they are cheap. A rapid price rise followed by a fall doesn't necessarily mean a deliberate pump and dump though - smaller cap coins are prone to huge volatility anyway, and it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between p&d and genuine price movement.

check project's roadmap. is it still ongoing. find out how long this alt on the market and it's behaviour after listing. where was it listed. watch activity in telegram chat. and so on. try to find life in that project.

In my opinion, what is meant by pump and dump is a coin whose price is pumped up high but with a transaction volume that is not too large and usually the price falls quickly after reaching its highest point. I don't think it has anything to do with an increase in the price of Bitcoin because although many altcoins go down when the price of Bitcoin goes up, the fall in the price of legit altcoins is quite slow and not drastic.

This is the thinking of an investor, an investor knows very well which coin is convenient for him to invest in. If you think like an investor, you too can take the right position in the market at the right time. It is important to have a good amount of volume in a coin because without volume it will not be easy to sell later. Good results can be expected from the market if you can find the best coins by investing in the market analysis.

I think Altcoin is waiting to be pumped and dumped. Of course, Altcoin will pump instead of dumping. Altcoin will pump when BTC takes its place. At this time you can buy some coins like BNB, TRX, XRP, LiNk. I think these coins will be pumped. But you have to take the risk. Thank you

When it comes to altcoins it is inevitable to have a pump and dump on a coin I can also say that it is normal due to the rise and fall of the price of bitcoin but if you want to invest in altcoins and you want to lose the money you hold You need to review the altcoin or project you want to join because with every step you take you will not lose the risky so you need to study and think carefully so that you can not participate in scam projects.

investing in new coins is indeed very high risk compared to old coins that are already listed in the top market in CMC. the fact is that most new projects always end that way. Only a few of them can come back after being dumped at a very low price most of them will have good prices at first but after a few days or weeks it will start to fall.

If the project is dead, then trying to find something will be useless. It is much more profitable to learn a lesson from this situation so that this does not happen again in the future.

Please you do not have to fellow just the hype do your findings to avoid having to loose you funds. Some projects now are pump and dump especially new ones so would be better you scrutinize, check the growth if it's at the top and know what best to do, market in general is waxing strong now but some new coins are out there to pump and dump or exit scam.

If the project is a scam, then the signs will be similar to other similar scam projects. For example, scam projects, as a rule, copy each other, and scammers can be calculated by these segments.
In addition, scammers often have a poor understanding of the technical base of projects, which means they are not able to answer fundamental technical questions regarding project technology and technical documentation.

Alt-coin investment is much risk than any other investment, because alt-coin is a function of cryptocurrency movement assets, that is good to invest at a lower rate and sell at a higher price, which many of the coin price can not be predicted because of the dump.

Pump and dump are of two different type, one is pump and dump to level and the other is pump and dump to death, for example every projects that listed on Binance exchange always pump because of the news as we know it but later it dumps to a level price, pump and dump to death happens with projects that have no good intentions from the beginning, the team planned to pump and dump the token and exit scam

Unfortunately it can't be predictable that which altcoin will take growth with the same momentum there will be always ups and downs or should I say pump and dump and this is what I have observed in the nature of mostly altcoins whether if it's quality altcoins or not it doesn't matter the important thing is you have to take risk with your own research and analysis to find the suitable time for entry and exit.

I think altcoins started to weaken when they entered 2018 so traders looking for luck have been very difficult lately so they tend to take advantage of the long existence of altcoins that have price extensions tend to move all the time and try to be patient With the current virus problem.

Pump and dump schemes have become extremely complex and sophisticated over the years, which is why back then your friends could get profit from those schemes but now they are finding it almost impossible to do so, and I think everyone knew that sooner or later this will happen, scammers are really smart and they are going to try to maximize their profits as much as possible and if there are too many winners during their pump and dump schemes then this means they are not receiving this money and obviously they want it because they are incredibly greedy, otherwise they will not be scamming people for their money.

its pure speculation when we pick pump and dump coin and did we already calculate its risk before ? these coin type was very dangerous , it can be scam anytime and make our money loss. if want to pick these coin, join on telegram group that discuss about uniswap gem there are alot coin discussed there eveyrday.

pump and dump are common in alt coins. and it looks like an annual cycle. as long as the developer is still active in managing alt coins I think it is still safe to play with alt coins. but it takes experience and knowledge about crypto to buy alt Coin.

Yes altcoins have not shown any significant raise from past few years, it only went high around 2017 when btc went all the way to its all time high. New breads of alts might have some gone up but ordinary ones did really get much raised.

Firstly, I would not recommend buying altcoins below the top 200 coinmarketcap, and secondly, look at the project's social networks, if there is an active discussion there and news appears, then this project most likely will not deal with the pump and dump scheme.

Ethereum look serious for dumping because will upgrade 2.0 on December because will get any update good news and have new service way for ethereum become faster for transaction payment, I think not have delay again for ethereum become lowest fast transaction after upgrade to be 2.0. But still fee weeks later for ethereum upgrade to be 2.0 and have positive side for ethereum back to higher price again. Now last three weeks ethereum have higher price and keep continue for back again to higher price.

It is very common here in altcoin ever since, even in bitcoin. Wayback 2017 bitcoin is at highest, that why they said 2017 is golden year of Bitcoin. Many coins do pump and dump but be assured that you are not once they dump soon they will pump. You must have a lot pf patience when you are in altcoin.

There's no assurance, that's what we should know in the first place, an in fact, most of the coins that dump in 2017 did not come back anymore, in fact some of them are already dying if we still don't conclude them dead, you can tell by its trading volume though.

Activities as the group can once in for some time show they are still near, some will just siphon once and that is it while in significant tasks, their advancements spikes the siphon and the landfill isn't as terrible as those of the more current ventures. I encourage you to put resources into altcoin that are in the best 500 coinmarketcap, in light of the fact that the volume of this altcoin must be high and it demonstrates that numerous individuals accept to putting resources into this altcoin.

Pump and dump is a normal phenomenon, even though the king of cryptos is also hard to escape this rule.Investing in cryptocurrencies is risky and requires caution.

technically you're correct but I think you should have to do your own research. We can't neglect the crypto market as the money flow still tends to be other random altcoins somehow. Since the market is so volatile to control but a field of making big money as well.

Mostly the pump and dump altcoins are happening below the 200 coins in terms of market capitalization wherein the market participants is only few, I do not participate in that kind of pump and dump even there is opportunity because for me the risks are too high because it is manipulating by the whales where one wrong mistake, I can lose all of money. It is easy to make money there but it is easy to lose money there so I still prefer to make investment with altcoins that have potential like XRP and ETH.

Top 30 coins in coinmarketcap could give you a nice feeling of investment. Top coins are good for long term holding until the fully growth of bull run. Patient is must if you buy those coins for long term. You can also choose some potential defi tokens that possess real transparency success. The pump and dump constantly happening you should accept that thing.

I think some defi projects are not suitable for long-term because most of them are very volatile, but some projects like yearn and curve can be considered because they do have good real use cases

Most of the new altcoins pump and dump after entering the crypto market, but maybe not completely just a token or a warning signal, such coins can be marked with a high pump price chart and after that throw away at a low price, don't buy for FOMO or buy when the coins have pumped . Make sure you can manage your finances well.

According to market conditions because if the price of btc goes down Altcoin also goes down.  If you look at the ETH price in early mid 2018 or late 2018 Eth is around $ 100 from ATH $ 1200.  But look at today ETH price has reached $ 600.  So in a context like this you must have two choices, including selling or holding when the price continues to move up.  Every increase must be a decrease and it cannot be predicted correctly by everyone.

yes, it is very true. I saw it on several new DeFi projects released on DEX exchange. they fly and then fall very hard. I don't know why it happened so fast. but when that happens doesn't it can cause something bad to look at the new project.

Why is that bitcoin right now is pumping while other altcoins are dumping? Any ideas about it?
No one can predict the movement of the market because they are not Gods and even Nostradamus cannot predict accurate on what would be happen in the market. What we know about right now is that the market is bullish right now and it is following the ATH of the past 4 years.

Nowadays it is really hard to risk or gamble your money into investing in some coins that you are not sure. It is really hard to determine which project would have a better future . I think you should study their roadmap. You can invest in Ethereum I think that would be a good idea. At least ethereum has already its name and umber two cryptocurrency .

I think you've hit the nail on the head, the use-case will prove to be the most important thing this time round, that's not to say high profile people can't and won't hype a projects and get a nice pump and in turn dump, but I think the industry is slowly becoming more resistant to it.

Those who have experience in investing will always be vigilant when investing in crypto, so that they dare to make risks to take profits at all times and at every moment, they certainly will not be complacent about the soaring price.

then be wise as a trader, don't eat everything you have,
you have to have good control and not be greedy, when it's time for the pump to come then it's time to sell,
if the dump arrives it's time to buy, then you will be safe.

As you said it is true because the market domination is still controlled by BTC so that Altcoin have quite a difficult space to move.  But there is a time for Altcoin to pump up soon like ETH and XRP.  don't forget to fill the bag before the new ATH is reached. market percentage occurs as a result of big news, where there is a large spike in demand.

if you afraid then dont do it. just invest if you confident to do it ;)

The market is probably getting better in three days which Altcoins are almost bouncing back. The prices of the Altcoins also went up higher. A returning green color is joined by the rise of bitcoin. I expect this price increase to last for the next few months.

Today is alts season so the top 10 coins are expected to pump together with BTC.

This is the signal you should follow not from groups or coaches that sometimes need to pay them for a little fee.

I think he's talking about the danger from market cap perspective which makes sense considering the liqudity is lower than btc which means more vulnerable to manipulation but I do agree.

None of investment instrument that has zero risk and the profit usually as big as the risk it's just the law.

Even stock market right now could crash as hard as btc back then. The crazy volatility not only happening in crypto market.

Most likely yes even though the market now seems all are in red colors but I do believe in just a short period of time altcoins can recover again. Now is the right time to fill your bags with more potential tokens that are in drops.

Those who are experienced will always choose the good ones even if they make choices quickly, because they already know which tokens are good and which are bad tokens and they also know when to buy and when to sell.

I do not agree with you, that the current price increase will not only be in the next few months but the next few years, this is in my opinion because once every four years the price growth of Cryptocurrency continues, in 2017 the price of all crypto currencies grew big and many people who see the growth of this Cryptocurrency are extraordinary, do not be surprised and surprised when the price of Bitcoin and other Altcoins will be higher than 2017, because today's increase is only the beginning of the rise of Cryptocurrency and we will see it at the end of this year ..

For now the average Altcoin has decreased in price again and almost everything is red in the market, try to visit the market at this time and see what happens, because the price increase will not always happen, there are times when all tokens will experience drop.

Correction is very normal and the situation even could more worse. This how market corrects and it's important to take profits and place you in a safe zone. Indeed, it's good for a healthy market. Anyway, this pull back could be just a single before the next big push.

According to my observations, pullbacks in a growing market end in 2-3 days, so by Monday the growth will most likely continue. I think the altcoins are not pumped enough before the grand dump.

I know the altcoins pumped to much that is why everthing nosedives.

If I look at the market conditions that have happened in previous years, it can be said that currently the market is in a state of correction at all token and coin prices, so it is likely that the next pump will clearly occur even though no one knows when it is.

The only people that are interested in pump and dumps are the ones that know they have no chance by trading in the traditional way, after all if you know that you can make profits trading bitcoin and ethereum even if the profits are never going to be as good in the case you are lucky to get out of a pump in time the risk is simply not worth it, anyone that is remotely good trading bitcoin can get 10% or even 20% per year and while this may not seem much for some that is enough to make you rich on the long term.

to identify that you have to look at the team's performance and keep abreast of them on telegram, usually the real team will work professionally and will continue to provide updates every day or every week. but if you have any doubts about the project then don't invest, it would be better if you mention the project here so that you can help solve it

All cryptocurrencies from time to time either rise in price or fall in price and at times, of course, you can understand which cryptocurrency will start to rise in price, but which cryptocurrency will start to fall in price is impossible to guess, so it is best to invest in proven top cryptocurrencies, it is easier to make money on them.

Despite all the hype regarding altcoins and FUD, Bitcoin dominance is remaining solidly above the 62% level. The combined market cap of the 10,000 or so altcoins right now is less than half of that of Bitcoin (I am excluding stablecoins and Bitcoin forks from altcoin market cap). This means that the market has now matured from what we had in 2017, and a consolidation phase has started. In the next few months, shitcoins will be removed from the market, and only cryptocurrencies with proper usage will remain. 

You could try to cite some altcoin names you have in mind that you think is having a pump and dump maybe some of us here might know something about that project or maybe some of us here could give you a good information or tip about it.

You can assume just by watching at white paper (if there is one at all), by watching social media - new project can't grab a lot of attention (otherwise they did buy comments), by watching at team (if its their 1st project or not).
Ultimately, you can't be 100% sure if one project is a scam. There were scam projects that looked real and a lot of people lost their money.
So if that will happen with you - don't be hard on yourself

i does not about altcoins i want to know about that if some has perfect information kindly inform me about that i am very interrsting to know it i,is it helpful for the online workers i want to know about it kindly inform me about it.

If you think that is just a pump and dump kind of coins then I think should avoid investing in. Why not choice another coins that are establish with constant movements of flow charts so it would not be hard for you to monitor its chart and when make an entry or sell your coins.

Pump and dump tricks include two gatherings of individuals. To begin with, there are the players who misleadingly increment the cost of a coin by advancing or underwriting it.If you believe it's a very decent opportunity,suggest doing investigate on the venture and their group, before the sideways Bitcoin value the altcoin market will keep on being bearish,it's smarter to put resources into the top coins as it were.

I see that now all altcoins are perspective, I had altcoins from far 2017 and 2018 and now some of them have second life, some of them have value 100%+ ROI!

This is a major concern what it comes to altcoins, you really can't determine whether it will pump or dump. But how come do you know when to know the different between these two most important stages. Stage-PUMP and Stage-DUMP. But there are some signs and signals or information to know about any coin to know whether is will go up or come down. One of the thing to check is the team behind the coin, do they have a record of success? Two, the king of investors involved in the project, because even if the team behind the project is good, there must also be sooner capqble investors who are ready to invest massively in it. And the last thing in my opinion is the total number of the coin supplied to circulation.

Altcoin price pumping and dumping is part of the network. Most of the time this is followed by the growth of bitcoin. Whenever there is pumping in the bitcoin market, automatically it gets reflected on the altcoins market. This time too the same has taken place. At the beginning there is no big growth following the growth of bitcoin. At some point the growth of bitcoin isn't high, whereas the altcoins started to pump. Now I find the growth of altcoins to be growing mutually.

I really wish that would happen but I do not believe so, many people when they think of investing they think of something similar to gambling and they see all of those coins with small market caps as lottery tickets they can play and have a possibility of becoming rich, so while I would like a market that only let the top 100 coins in the market alive the possibility of that happening is very low as whether we like it or not there is demand for those useless coins not as projects that will move the market further but as speculation vehicles.

When bitcoin prices are volatile, this is very natural for altcoins,
of course you have to make a good strategy so you don't get hit by this flow of pump and dump,
because if you go with this flow, your emotions and thoughts will certainly be disturbed when trading.

How do we check on what we don't know? Mention the coins u intend investing on, so we can help you research on them and predict if they are good or not. Though dump and pump is inevitable but sometimes predictions always work.

when you see the price of cryptocurrency in the exchange going up and down then you can take advantage of that price movement to find as much profit as possible. bitcoin price will have an important influence.

I saw that Bitcoin has gone up to 28k now, now it will take some correction, then there is a possibility to go from 30k to 32k.Alt coin dump for this.

How can we tell when you don't say a word about the name of any of the projects you have in mind, see the truth is any new coin that find it hard to rank up on coinmarketcap are more risky, anything can happen to them when you re holding, it's why I like advising people to invest in projects that well known even if they are new for example Polkadot and Avalanche

What is the best way to get a detailed idea about Altcoin pump and dump?
I hold cryptocurrency all the time.
So if anyone can please cooperate a little in this matter.

According to my understanding, the many ways and techniques employed by fraudulent projects raise money from investors by rewarding them for sending active cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, customers are promised a discount on the new crypto coin. In fact, many of these scam projects have no original ideas, more than 15% of which have copied ideas from other cryptocurrencies, or even plagiarized supporting documentation. Therefore, investors should be very careful about researching what they are putting in and be sure to find out who is involved and what the real plans of the crypto project are to make money without scamming other people.

Research, research and more research is suoer important, we don't want 2017 to happen again. For 2 reasons;
1 - we don't want people getting scammed
2 - we want solid projects to succeed and change the world

Always check if the team developers have a very good crypto credentials because mostly of those successful altcoins where create by several crypto experts and most of the project that turns to have a pump and dump scheme are those who are having a little or less experience in developing project.

Is there a way to know which coins will pump and dump?  So the point is if you know of a coin that will do that... you buy it ... then auto sell it once price starts dropping to accumulate more btc right?  Then either keep btc or sell it to usdt?



But if you want to make money now... wouldn't you need to trade it for usdt?

If you are not sure about the projects you are going to buy, you should avoid buying those projects even though the projects look promising
and legit. I suggest buying old coins that are popular and have high volume, it will prevent you from pumping and dumping. If a pump and
dump occurs, old coins always recover quickly. In contrast to new projects that have just been listed on exchanges, there is a very high risk of
pump and dump occurring, after which they eventually become scam projects.

You can never be entirely sure that a coin's (even a legitimate one) rise in price, isn't a pump 'n dump happening.

Sometimes the FOMO just takes over and people start buying a certain crypto. Now when the price hits high enough, the ones who were the early buyers, will start to cash out. And so even a legitimate coin can be hit by involuntary "pump 'n dumps".

Analysts make trades based on the analysis they make, they must know what will happen to the market, because market movements are not much different from trading theory using indicators.
In some cases the team knows if their coins will be pumped, because usually they will make good news so that the price of their coins will go up even higher.

If you manage your risk accordingly and don't overexpose yourself to projects you don't really understand the fundamentals of you can afford the odd miscalculation. I think now is the time for pragmatism. I have been looking for as many projects I feel confident in (team, product, etc.) and now have a degree of comfort because even if some do turn out to be "pump and dumps" these should be highly out numbered by decent projects.

Many of the projects start well. But after sometime, the promoters will start secretly dumping their tokens and gradually the development work will come to a standstill. The inventors are not going to notice it until too late. That is why I am reluctant to invest in new projects, no matter how promising they may sound. The idea may be really good. But there is no guarantee that the promoters will stay on till the end.

Projects that are interesting to me currently are generally small cap but have a team that has weathered the storm so to speak. Projects that survived 2018 and 2019 for that matter.

If something is too shiny, it raises my suspicion

impossible for the promoter to last until the end, because if you have benefited from the project most ICO investors will move to other projects, believe that the desired profit from each investor is not from the product.

Big cause of the problem is what you observed, the developers itself are the one who dumped what they've hold putting the price of the

token once it's been listed to exchange to fail, it's hard to entrust your investment money to new project unless you are willing to take

the risk and accept what fate will bring you.

I think we will see the same scenario again because we already seen alts picking up.
Every year it's the same first btc pump then alts get some love for few weeks and couple of days after Christmas. Then a dump. Then fly again!
Personaly I think that the market now is very healthy and it's a nice stepping stone for altcoins this year

But that was not due to the bitcoin recent rally but mainly due to the news from Ukraine and its partnership with stellar. Bitcoin pushed it higher yes!

The market is healthy as the foundation is more solid in my view. The use case of crypto has been more established. And those financial institutions that are joining this revolution believe that crypto has something to offer to their clients in long-term. Because if they are only seeing it at a short-term investment, they won't let those billion of dollars spent in this very high volatile investment. Now, alts will follow but only those good foundation with real usage in the market. As most of them have empty foundation, I don't think they can keep up with the btc performance.

In the present moment pump and dump is a buzz word in the block chain cryptocurrency market. Because main reasons are the unpredictable volume of BTC and XRP. A few months back BTC started has pumped and XRP has started falling down. If there was a pump and dump group then it would be better for crypto lover.

When I see pump and dump firsr what comes to my mind is some low volume token not btc eth or some other. Bigger cryptocurrencies depend from a lot of factors. Most of them are about daily news, new president, new regulation, pandemic etc. Its not just simple pump and dump theory.

The occurrence of Pump has its own reasons, as well as dump, the reason is in fundamental factors and TA,
do you know about the reason DUMP is happening in altcoins nowadays? because the price of Bitcoin also experienced a DUMP then the altcoins followed,
but fundamental factors reinforced support and made the bounce in the altcoin price very strong dan fast recovery.

Pumps and dumps are part of the market movement, we need to get used to living with it. Sometimes it can be to our advantage, sometimes it is bad for our underwater trades. Low marketcap altcoins have a better advantage for our trade profitability, otherwise, it is waste of time.
The bounces and market retouches will happen frequently if the alt season is going to heat up. The strong technical analysis is useless nowadays due to the mentioned reasons above your post. The daily news and the other temporary factors are just small cross news between main market cycles. Long story short, technical and fundamental analysis is not a reliable method to find the perfect entry/exit price points on volatile crypto markets.

I agree, pumps and dumps are the essential factor that enables traders to do their job. Without such fluctuations you will get a flat market, and that will not be good as no new money are being turned over. While I agree that the volatility in some markets can be huge and greatly variable by the hour, unfortunately, these pump and dump cycles is what creates the fast dynamic market return/losses you see, and we just need to start managing them better.

To find out if it was a pump scam project, in fact for now almost the entire altcoin, even altcoins that  are  not potential though, currently
many are pumping on the exchange, this is because of the effect of bitcoin’s rise and its strong price. If you stick to potential altcoins like
ethereum or other  potential  altcoins, this is a  blessing for  traders and  holders. Why don’t  you stick to a potential altcoin project alone,
to minimize your losses.

I guess you should research deeper the project so that you know if this project worth to invest, it could be possible another pumps and dumps. Is that a DeFi project? if so then expect that it can be pumps and dumps scheme most this happens were DeFis.

indeed trading in cryptocurrencies is very high risk. therefore we have to be careful in making decisions for days. whether the decision to make an investment and so on.

The most legit new project i have saw so far is only SYL coin made by XSL Labs, which is wipl be launched on BSC at it's first stage before they launch their native coin and their blockchain called Pulsar. This project already sold their token in second phase. 3 billion token for $0.002 price mean $6 million usd has been collected.

The law of supply and demand is being practice with known and popular alts project,

While with those shit coins, it's a pumped and dumped schem coming from developers and whales who are playing with the project. Assess and don't forget to do your research, the more you understand the market the better opportunites that you have from this industry, there are so many scam projects that you should avoid, enhance yourself in observing what assets to invest your money.

Lots of new projects but some of them just copy and paste from previous projects.
Hype is always there when new projects appear and the team will offer various kinds of discounts for token sales, what needs to be paid attention is that new projects will always exist, whether they end up cheating or not, surely we must know that these projects have coins that can be used in the product they. so that the coins we have can be traded.

Yes, but for those who already have a lot of experience and knowledge in the crypto space, risk is a common thing and is also considered a challenge for themselves, because fighting risks is something that must be done in order to get the benefits as desired.

This is inevitable in this market, when everyone sees it as an opportunity, there will be people who hit this point to carry out pumping projects in the short term.

If you have an amount of about $200k - $300k to get a small investment fund and start using it to build small projects with low total supply and pump money to create liquidity to attract. And then the end of it everyone will understand. Everything I see with such projects.

I think everyone knows the crypto market is fraught with risks. if you do not want or are afraid of the risk, never enter the crypto market. because trade and investment inevitably lead to two possibilities. gain or loss.
So that before investing in it is better to learn it properly. how their projects and markets work. especially on the pump and dump trend. it can trap the investment we make if we choose the wrong market moment.
