$USDC Here are the clearest indications a coin might be about to explode:

*1. Volume + Price confirmation*
- Volume spikes 3-5x above the 20-day average while price breaks up
- No volume = no real buying. Fake pumps die fast

*2. Technical breakout*
- Breaks above a level that rejected it 2-3 times before
- Breakout candle closes above resistance with a wick above it
- Retests the level and holds it as support

*3. Catalyst/news*
- Exchange listing, major partnership, token burn, protocol upgrade
- News gives people a reason to buy beyond “number go up”

*4. Market structure shift*
- Price flips above 50 and 200 EMA on 4H/daily timeframe
- Higher highs and higher lows. Trend has actually changed, not just a bounce

*5. Liquidity and order book*
- Buy walls getting eaten, sell walls thinning
- Big liquidity appearing on the buy side on order book

*6. Sentiment, but with caution*
- Social mentions spike, but check if it’s backed by volume
- “Everyone is talking about it” often means late-stage, not early

*Red flag*: If it’s up 50%+ with no news and no volume, that’s usually a trap.

None of these guarantee a pump. They just raise the probability. Risk management still matters more than catching the move.
