Pump&Dump is the artificial things while the growth and correction are the natural ones. We can make forecasts only for the natural things in my opinion. I usually use tech analysis (Support & Resistance Basics, RSI and MA50, MA100).
bought verge @ 100 sats but i sold at around 120. i was able to buy in @ certain price points but failed to take advantage. didnt see it coming.
one moment you have a buy wall of 20-100 btc then after few moments im down 20-30%
im so frustrated right now. i bought 5500usd dollars @ 120 sat. i was able to ride the pump for a while and reached 7800 usd. but now im back to 5500
same with DGB
i was waiting for a pump on NXT. thought there wont be a pump sold it 5 hours later it is up 50%
sigh
