Coin dump

A coin dump is the selling of a large amount of a token in a short time, often with a noticeable effect on the price. Who is selling and why cannot be seen from the sale itself. It can be ordinary profit taking, or it can be part of a wider pattern.

What it may indicate

A large, sudden sale can be an indication that a party holding many tokens is stepping out at a moment when others are just stepping in. Equally, it can be a holder selling for their own reasons. It is a signal, not proof.

Shortly after a series of positive messages about a token, a large volume was sold at once. Whether that timing was coincidence or deliberate can only be assessed by looking at which addresses the sale came from and how they related to the messages.

What is a coin dump?

The selling of a large amount of a token in a short time, often with a noticeable effect on the price. Who sells and why cannot be read from the sale alone.

Is a coin dump always manipulation?

No. It can be ordinary profit taking. Whether it is part of a wider pattern only emerges from examining the addresses behind the sale and their context.

Is een coin-dump een waarschuwingssignaal?

Het kan een signaal zijn, maar bewijst op zichzelf niets. Het nodigt uit om te kijken vanaf welke adressen de verkoop kwam en hoe die samenhangt met andere gebeurtenissen.
