Pairs with zero fees are perfect territory for manipulation because they eliminate friction.
This attracts bots, market makers, and wash trading.
The key is to understand this:
👉 When there are no fees, the volume stops being a reliable signal.
Here’s how to detect it practically 👇
🧠 🚨 1) Inflated volume without real movement
Classic signal:
EXTREMELY HIGH Volume
Price hardly moves
👉 This is typical of:
wash trading
bots operating among themselves
💡 Rule:
Volume without movement = false volume
