Several 'Hidden Rules' of On-Chain Pumping and Short Selling Ambushes

Small Market Cap on Chain → Must Douse After Pumping on CEX

The most typical in the SOL ecosystem: the chain rises to a dizzying height, and it becomes an ATM upon entering the exchange;

BSC is slightly more stable, as buying pressure is weak and chip control is high. Occasionally, after entering the exchange, it can both protect and pump, but 90% of the time it’s still 'douse first and talk later'.

VC coins open high upon listing on Binance

Retail investors are given a few days of 'pump benefits' at the opening, and then the price and volume take a turn, signaling the project parties to sell;

The key is to look at K-line + trading volume; if the volume surges while the price stagnates, that’s the dousing point.

Korean Wave Drivers + Upbit Plot

If the project party has real substance and the Korean community is highly vocal, they will queue to list on Upbit;

To maintain appearances, they usually guard the order book tightly before listing on Upbit;

The day of listing is the 'best short' — after achieving their goals, large buy orders become the support buyers, and if the market makers don’t douse, it’s unreasonable. (Review Kaito Virtual Sign to understand.)

Special Case: Layered Long-Term Pumping

First, douse with a wave to lighten the load, then start the second phase of the market;

After the first wave of shorts is done, switch to a new target; don’t follow the market makers into the second wave.

Three Things for Bears to Enter

Market Sentiment: High panic, weak rebounds; high greed, loose chips.

Liquidity: High water level, more volatility, quicker profits.

Fundamentals + Opening Price: The more outrageous the valuation, the more apparent the market-making scheme.

Conclusion: Watch the chips, focus on volume and price, and pay attention to events. Don’t get emotional with the 'market support myth'; market makers never show mercy when dousing.
