Pump and Dump (PND)

TradingKeyTradingKeyTue, Apr 15

A Pump and Dump (PND) is a coordinated trading scheme where market participants, such as a whale or a collective of traders, collaborate to sell a cryptocurrency suddenly after artificially inflating its price – or “pumping” it up.

It’s common to observe the “pump” occurring on platforms like Twitter, Discord, or Telegram.

More interested parties join in on the pump, believing that the asset will continue to rise in value.

They are eager to capitalize on the movement and the potential for easy profits.

The price surges sharply, at which point the whale or group of traders quickly sell off their holdings, or “dump.”

This entire process is referred to as a Pump and Dump.
