Hi there everyone.
All of us have seen the sudden rise of a coin's price to (God knows what number here)x levels in a short time and many wished if only they had bought the coin in early stages of its price increase.
Yes, many of these are manipulated pump and dumps and only some are true price rises; yes, there's no easy way to predict coin prices; and yes, coins have different pump patterns, but these are not the main points of discussion here.
Point is, if we can detect a price rise in early stages and board the train fast, we can make good profit. So how can we detect the early stages of a price rise? Is "a rising 24h volume" a good early sign? Is there any other good indexes for it?
Any ideas (from Godlike to amateur) are welcome and thanks everybody in advance.
