All kind of coins pump even during a bear market and it would not surprise me the same is happening to aptos, however I agree with you, it seems to me it is too late for anyone interested in buying this coin to do it, the price has grown too much during the last month and a correction is most likely coming, it may not be tomorrow or the day after but it is coming, and when it does you do not want to be the person holding the bag and losing a massive amount of money in the process.
Not all kinds of course. A scam coin can't pump anymore but they are already dead by the time the bear market has arrived and there are even top coins who can't pump during the bear season. I think the one's that can pump are mostly new coin because their hype is still there and people are always excited when they see a new crypto because they also got bored a little from the usual old coins. Aptos is a newbies to crypto and that is why it has this perk.
But as others said, we should be extra careful if we want to join the ride. It's not advisable to enter now as it was still moving forward and there's a chance that it will go down right after we enter.
Pump and dump are basic features of most altcoins, and if you want to be on the safe side with altcoins then you should avoid coins that have dumped 80-90% of their price before, no matter the level of the price pump during a bear market because that is a clear set up by the teams to dump furthermore and causing more loses for investors and in no time, those coins will totally go off the market, what we should watch out for in altcoins are.
*the level of it usercase what are the real world utility of those coins.
*what are their market value and what exchanges their are traded in?
*What are their track record how is the level of their volatility how many time the price has dropped significantly above 40% and what is the level of their market recoveries?
*who is the team behind the project?
This and many more are factors to consider before choosing a potential coin to invest in.
