Is there a typical pattern for price fluctuations with new coins, or does each new coin behave differently (price wise)?
You kind of have to do the research for yourself. From what I have seen the early market action on coins with very high circulation tends to follow a general pattern, but each one is a bit different, and they seem to be normalizing/becoming less spiky as more and more coins are released and hit the markets.
