Anatomy of a pump and dumpThanks to low volume and the advent of Bitmex 100x leverage margin trading it's now possible for whales to pump and dump Bitcoin, which is why we've been seeing 5% up/down swings over the past week. Here's an idea of how to take advantage of a potential 5% upswing.
Why is the price moving up and down ~5% ? The answer simple. Because you only need 4% swings to liquidate people who are trading with 25x leverage. The point is to liquidate shorts/longs with high leverage.

[BTC-USD] RED ALERT! INVERSE CUP N HANDLE- DEFCON 5!I'm out of the market into the safety of fiat USD for now. This is very much a dynamic market and things are changing so dam fast on the charts, I couldn't even keep up with the 1,5 and 15 minute charts early this morning as I prepared this video. Personally for me, I think its too dangerous to play right now and I am now simply observing this ball game from the bench!
The BTC market is extremely volatile as many of you already know that! What makes me uncomfortable right now is the manipulation of wales pumping and dumping the price of BTC attempting to short the market. Also it was brought to my attention by a new friend on trading view that the exchanges could be dumping BTC, therefore manipulating the price of BTC being one of many variables that is causing the massive sell offs of BTC. Since most of us don't really know the real why 's , all we can truly rely on, are the charts. In conclusion, right at this very moment, the charts signal DEFCON 5 red alert! (Extreme Volatility)
Overall, I observed an inverse /reverse cup and handle which typically indicates a bearish signal and that a bearish trend will continue with the bearish price action of BTC. Extreme caution is advised right now! I am still investigating and undergoing more analysis that will allow me to define a perfect entry point at the absolute rock bottom. If I succeed, then I might end up in a short vacation in a few months in Costa Rica sipping a pina colada. If im wrong than I will be sipping a regular Starbucks coffee at my local coffee shop.
If you enjoyed this video give me a like! Peace out!

ETC Ethereum Classic Manipulated by WHALES WARNINGWhales are setting big Low Buy Walls and keep pulling down Panic sellers who create their own doom by creating Sell limits close to the price in turn creating clogs and sell walls that wont let the price move up. If only if Sellers knew the best thing to do is create High Sell Limits.
Example: the price is dropping to 333000, then set the damn Set limit to 360000. Everybody doing it at the same time to should nullify the magnetic pull down aka Panic..
Anyway the overall trend is down after a Bulkowski Flat Elliot Wave 335. Google it.
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO NEXT TIME WHALES WANT YOUR PESOS FOR THE CHEAP..... EVERYBODY MUST DO IT!!!!
OR JUST GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE!
Nobody Recognizes The Pump & Dump SchemesThese need to be studied more, acknowledged, and prepared for.
BTC back from the deadAmazing bull action in the last couple days and 24 hours specifically.
After the brief dip below the 200SMA we bounced back and rode for while only to break above previous levels of 9500.
It seems hard to believe BTC will run back up through to the 15000 level and above... but we know how this pump seems to go.
Wondering if the sentiment can really change that quickly. Not everyone is a true HODLer..
Lets remember that the average person doesn't understand what BTC really is or what kind of a paradigm shift its adoption would entail.
Most are speculators..
Seems as if the money flows from the equity markets and the BTC value are correlated...
I'm still picking stocks.
At least I know that AMZN is trading 236 times their earnings.
THE RIPPLE (CRYPTO XRP) PUMP AND DUMP ANALYSISAs you can see by the chart- Ripple was a clear pump and dump setup- almost too perfect.
You can see the volume slowly ramp up from virtually nothing, and on the way up various volume "peaks" (buy volume spike until a certain level then an equal sell volume spike). This is the price being, quite literally, artificially pumped. As we reach our final cashout level the market is running on air, and as seen at the top there are multiple empty spikes- a clear indicator the bulls are out of steam and the pump is being distributed. This is the final blow.
One the way down volume falls along with price- the dump is over and all big money is out. You can see small spikes as late money tries to make a bullish play (weirdly at most cashout levels) but obviously getting pummeled. Pump and dump over, rest in piece Ripple.
Until the next pump that is....
SIDE NOTE: Many may jump and say XRP's market cap was too big for a pump and dump. This is false. The market cap was gigantic simply due to the fact XRP is heavily centralized and tons of currency was "produced"... the market cap grew as the pump grew. The market cap correlation (as used with stock pump and dump analysis) cannot be applied to a Crypto like Ripple.
TKS/BTC Bittrex Pump and Dump AlertLooking for short term target to the Fib 161.8% extension on this pump and dump alert. No value in this trade other than a quick buck so don't get caught holding the bag! Never trade money that you can afford to loose and as always plan your trade and trade your plan!
Komodo (KMD) has been under constant pump and dump activityIf we take a look at some of the daily performances for KMD. Then we will find that there are numerous short spikes, then major tanks lower. This leads investors to have no confidence in the crypto and will soon be abandoning it. The creators of KMD should monitor the performance of their crypto more closely as it is obvious to the naked eye that this is systematic.
What do you think?
Kodak getting pumped (and probably pumped)Eastman Kodak has has been going crazy in the passed 3 days on their adoption of "blockchain technology" (everybodies favorite buzzword). And it has grown nearly 250%. Not only is that absolutely insane for the current market but Kodak has had a losing streak pretty much since it has gone public... To top it all off, take a look at the volume: more shares have been traded in the last 3 days than have ever been traded in in Kodak's entire existence. If that doesn't ring any alarm bells, at least it adds to the long list of things that make cryptocurrency the dotcom bubble all over again.
BTC ready to break or is there another downswing coming?We are still moving in this channel but it's possible that we have not seen the rest of the downside. I think there is a possibility that IF we break downward and close below the 50 day that we will retest the 100 day moving average, shown in blue. At that point we will see how the price holds at that level and reevaluate.
If we see the price continue bounce off the 50 day, as it has now multiple times, I think we could see some of the alt-coin profits start to stream back into BTC where we reach new highs.
The altcoin surge, and most of these "projects", are pants-on-head ridiculous. Forgive me for saying it, but its straight up gambling. People thinking that its normal to bypass BTC as an investment because the upside isn't 50-100x. A LOT of people are going to get burned by the alts, and much of the smart money is going to flow into Bitcoin as these coins start to dump. Keep close tabs on the prices here, because I think this is a good time to build up a long term position in BTC.
Overall, long BTC, however watch for another leg of this correction.
ARNBTC - looks like sh!tLooks more like a bearish retracement and about to fall over. I could be wrong.
I road this pump and dump up and after reading a ton of FUD online and just the whitepaper in general - I'm like wtf? - Ain't no time for drama even if its fake news.
Either way, both chart and research say this is dog sh!t. Then again, I thought snapchat was dog sh!t and it still managed to IPO somehow.
ARN/ETH Market Manipulation / P&D 1/4/17Check out this volume spike + run up. Some serious P&D action! Agree / Disagree?
Start Coin to $1 (Because Max Keiser said so)Ok... Start coin is about as dead as they come, but look at this chart! There has been an insanely long accumulation period, and coins like this love to pump.
This is a fantastic Risk/Reward opportunity to throw 1-2% of your portfolio at and walk away.
I'm talking 10x minimum.
Growth Baseline SupportA more natural growth baseline. It may plod along for a while on this same gradual upwards trend until the next pump and dump attempt.
It is noted that some agitators are still busy with their XVG FUD.
Another pump and dump might not be too far away on the horizon?
Or last desperate attempts to short XVG just a bit further, perhaps the dump did not go as far as planned?
XVG is just P&D loosing momentum each time. if you are riding waves i would sell at the red line. truly hate tracking this kind of pump and dump. NEW TRADERS PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS! MUCH EASIER COINS TO TRACK AND GAIN FROM.
Happy Trading~!~!
XVG POSXVG has no new tech, it's nothing more than a pump n dump. The devs are more interested in marketing than in development. POS
XVG P&D coin if there ever was one.I can see why some people would have lots of faith in this coin for it holding true to a crypto whitepaper and now with lots of attention it can have more open source development. completion of the code and adoption must take place for P&D to turn to hodl.
Where is ADA going? Ask this guy when the next Cardano Pump is
Scroll his messages. He seems to have a lot of time on his hands. With little else to do but Poomp ADA. Get's triggered at the thought of Cardano's longterm opportunity for investors and prefers tipping off others as to when he and the Cardano Chat rooms are executing Pump and Dumps. I say Pump And Dump because one can go to the official Cardano chat rooms to follow when the Pump and Dumps are. And if you want to know where price is going, don't bother with TA or FA. Don't bother even looking at the chart. Just ask this guy: www.tradingview.com He'll tell you.
DOGECOIN undergoing P&D - Advice to not fall for this scam.For novices out there, Pump and Dumps are NOT created to benefit you. It's a total scam, and you should never fall for this.
The leaders of these P&D groups decide on which coin they are going to pump MONTHS in advance so they can buy the coin at a lucratively low price.
Then, they "announce" what coin it is and when their thousands of followers go and buy those coins, they sell off part of their position due to the inevitable price spike and turn profit.
You may ask, "Well, why can't I just sell my DOGE when they are pumping the price up?". This is because the buy volume isn't there to support the price, and you are NOT going to be able to sell your position at a good price. These sorts of things are designed to scam you out of your hard earned money, and you shouldn't fall for these kinds of scams just to "take the easy route".
Make smart trades, think for yourself, and you'll be a much better off trader.
BTC artifical price pumpin', 9350 LIMIT and few drops POLONIEXBtc upcoming price flow would be something like this:
This would be a price range in 2 days time (counting from now)
* 9350 PEAK VALUE
* Downtrend no.1 9250
* -II- no.2 9150
* Uptrend no. 1 9200
* Uptrend no.2 9275
Downtrend no. 1 9150
Downtrend no. 2 9050
Downtrend no.3 8950
My personal opininon is that after this pump is completed (probably fresh cash just jumped into the pool), prices are getting overextended, so we might see future btc prices when this " madness" finished around 8600-8800.
I guess 8600-8900 will be actual price at least one day after this up and downtrend and later on 8400 (8200-8400) range, because everything over is overextended
Voxels - Get in the pump.This coin have some serious pump & dump action in its history. With little risk we can try to get huge gains. Remember stop loss!
DOGE: A familiar friendLet's take a look at an established old friend of mine, BITTREX:DOGEBTC .
The obvious information is on the chart. Big pump in June this year, bleeding dry since then, having lost over 86% to this point. But there is a bit more to it than this.
Only a few coins have such a nice market memory as DOGE. Let's look into a few stats here.
The market throughout the years:
NOTE: The lines are pointing towards the highest daily close during the pump
As you can see DOGE reliably was pumped once every year, resulting in a 124% - 811% increase. (excluding spikes)
After every pump DOGE was left to bleed out over an extensive time frame, as we know from the usual P&D scheme. Interestingly enough, the lower it went, the higher it got pumped.
For quite a few weeks now DOGE has been stabilizing in the 20 - 30 sat area. With the upcoming Bitcoin forks and the anticipation to it, we may see it go below 20 in the coming days to weeks.
Personally I placed my buy orders at 18, 15 and a very optimistic larger order at 11 sat, if it doesn't hit the target prices by the hardfork dates, I will readjust my position.
As we come close to the end of 2017, the next pump may be just right ahead.
That being said, DOGE could as well be a longer hold over several months.
So what leads me to buy it aside of the named aspects? Let's take a look at the volume on Bittrex:
The trade volume exceeded every prior point by far, the buy volume especially when hitting the price below 20 sats, this massive buy volume is rather interesting.
On another note, the general novice trader, caught up in his ICO-goldrush and longing for always new coins to invest in long forgot about the eternal DOGE, that is until it starts pumping again.
Accumulation of coins is best done in a quiet market, you don't want to buy into a hyped market. My best and most profitable "investments" always were in coins that were either believed dead (while displaying healthy volume) or coins that were called a scam and written off, but that also sometimes meant that the time to build up new hype and the market to explode again is sometimes a long one (as in DOGE), patience is key. That being said, don't hold coins that make constant losses, sell them at a loss and seek a better position to buy in the market again. Every percent lost, is less profit when it pumps.
The crypto market is insanely emotional and reactionary. Plan, prepare and execute your moves in quiet waters and leave the market when the hype is at it's peak - it's as simple as it gets.
