📚 Crypto Terminology: Pump vs. Dump 📈📉
Have you ever seen a coin suddenly shoot up... then crash just as fast?
📖 The Story
Imagine a coin is trading at $100.
Suddenly, many people start buying it. The price jumps to $120, then $140 in a short time.
That's called a Pump—a rapid increase in price caused by strong buying activity.
Now imagine some traders decide to sell their coins and take profits. The price quickly falls back to $110, then $90.
That's called a Dump—a rapid drop in price caused by heavy selling.
🐋 Where do whales come in?
Because whales own large amounts of cryptocurrency, their big buy or sell orders can sometimes help push prices up or down. But remember, not every pump or dump is caused by whales. News, market sentiment, or many traders buying and selling at the same time can also move the market.
💡 Lesson
📈 Pump = The price rises quickly.
📉 Dump = The price falls quickly.
Don't chase every pump, and don't panic during every dump. Always have a plan and make decisions based on research—not emotions.
❓Have you ever bought during a pump or held through a dump? 💚
