Alright man, picture this—we're out here playing a solid round, sun’s out, and I’ve gotta tell you what’s going on with this token called ALPACA. So, Binance announced they were delisting it, right? Normally, that would tank a token’s price—but instead, ALPACA shot up over 1,000% in just a week. Wild.

Now, analysts are scratching their heads, saying this wasn’t just random hype—it smells a lot like market manipulation. One guy called it a “textbook liquidity hunt.” Basically, big players (whales) dumped the price first to freak people out, then pumped it like crazy just before the delisting so they could cash out big time.

They played both ends—took out futures positions, pushed the spot market price up, then closed out with fat profits once the trading window started closing. No real buying pressure, just a game of squeezing the last drops of liquidity out of the market.

And get this—this isn’t even a one-off. Apparently, this kind of pump-then-delist play has happened before, especially on Korean exchanges. It’s like the new hustle: announce a delisting, restrict deposits, and let the degens do the rest.

So yeah, If a token suddenly moons right after a delisting notice, it might not be a lucky break—it might be someone else’s payday. Stay sharp out there, man—crypto’s got more traps than a golf course bunker.
