In the cryptocoin world it is not about calculating trends. It is about waiting until some big fish decides to pump one or another coin and jumping on the bandwagon (and off) at the right moment...
Just don't get delusional
But if you just wait for the big fish to do that. You are not making any progress, how about if they do nothing? We are just sitting like that and didnt get any profit? I dont want it to be like that, if everytime we can get profit why we dont do that? Why we are just waiting for them to pump it? We can try it other way right?
What I said is not relevant to day trading or scalping (but this is not for newbies) where you are trying to catch small price movements (fluctuations) in the right direction and therefore don't care where the price will go tomorrow (i.e. you don't follow mid-to-long term trend). Furthermore, there are a lot of cryptocoins out there. Personally, I don't watch them closely, but surely one of them gets pumped right now (and others get dumped), since big fish also don't like doing nothing. In fact, trying it any other way (i.e. not following big fish) is a sure way to lose in the end (and not only in the cryptocoin world)...
The most recent example that I saw pumped and dumped (I even profited a little, just for fun) was the DarkNote coin. Also noteworthy is huge prolonged dumping of Dogecoin as of late
