Maybe they want to pique the interest of investors by pumping in the meme coins launched on the Solana network and I guess that's normal because we've seen it happen a lot before too.
We must be aware of this because this is not a good or bad sign. After all, we also don't know how the project will go.
I also wouldn't think too much about whether the meme coin project would still be trending and would rather focus on bitcoin.
And if people still want to follow the meme coin project, they need to be very careful.
If you have a lot of money, then making the price go up is the best marketing you could do for any project. If people see it growing so large, they will take an interest and look what caused the huge increase, and they will see what you are doing and your meme coin and so forth which they might invest into.
All because you increased the price of your own coin. SOL did this basically, they just increased the price by buying from themselves and this caused the price to go up, and get the interest from the market in general which they used to pump their BONK token as well. I believe both of them will go down very very hard in a week or so.
Raising prices without giving any notice won't help because people will think it's a pump and dump scheme and so will stay away from it.
But if there is new information about the project and investors think it is worth investing in, they will definitely come and start investing in it.
By now, people probably know how to find new projects worth investing in, although there are still people who don't know how to choose one.
We'll see what happens after this if the coin can keep the attention of the investors or it will drop very hard.
