$RAVE wasn’t the first “Alpha token” to run the classic script.
And if you’ve been in this market long enough, you already know it won’t be the last.
First comes the story.
A mysterious narrative. A powerful ecosystem promise. Insider whispers. Early screenshots. Carefully timed listings.
Suddenly everyone feels like they’re early. But they’re not early they’re being positioned.
Then comes the pump.
Huge candles. Social media hype exploding. Influencers calling it “the next big thing.” Funding rates spike.
Retail traders start chasing green candles instead of waiting for structure. The chart stops looking natural it starts looking engineered.
Then comes the distribution phase.
Price moves sideways. Fake breakouts. Fake support zones.
Sudden spikes followed by sharp rejections. Whales quietly exit while retail keeps averaging up, convinced the “next leg” is coming.
And finally… the dump.
Support disappears. Liquidity vanishes. Confidence collapses. The same people who called the top “just a correction” go silent.
Retail becomes exit liquidity again.
This cycle didn’t start with RAVE.
It didn’t end with $SIREN
It won’t stop with the next Alpha token either.
Because the strategy is simple:
Build hype,
Create urgency,
Trap momentum traders,
Exit quietly.
The market rewards patience not excitement. 📉
The traders who survive these cycles aren’t the fastest buyers.
They’re the ones who recognize the pattern before the crowd does.
