The rise can be fuelled by enthusiasm, by coordinated buying, or by messages that draw attention. What the real cause is cannot be read with certainty from the pattern alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What it may indicate<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">A sharp peak followed by a deep fall can be an indication that a few parties sold at the top to those who stepped in later. It can also simply be volatility, which many tokens have anyway. The pattern in itself proves nothing; at most it is a reason to look more closely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<div class=\"pterm-ex\">Someone saw a token double within a day and shortly afterwards fall back below its starting price. Whether there was intent behind it or only market movement can only be established by examining the transactions around the peak, not by the chart alone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Een dump die niet vanzelf ontstaat maar wordt opgezet, raakt aan wat onder <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/investment-fraud\/\">beleggingsfraude<\/a> wordt beschreven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What is a pump and dump?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">A pattern in which a price rises sharply and then quickly falls back.
