🚨 Why did $RAVE dump hard after its insane pump? Detailed analysis from Haris.

• Background: $RAVE surged from ~$0.24 to over $28 in a very short time (+200% in 24 hours, +3,300% in 30 days). Haris was strongly bullish on it in his earlier post on April 13 when the pump was still in full swing.

• Reasons for the dump according to Haris:

1. “Dim Sum Rave” offline event: RaveDAO hosted an EDM event in Hong Kong right at the final stage of the pump, creating massive FOMO from the community.

2. Suspicious on-chain activity: A large whale still holding 22.9 million $RAVE (worth ~$300 million) remained almost completely inactive throughout the entire pump — a classic sign of distribution rather than accumulation.

3. Familiar pattern: The structure is almost identical to previous tokens like RIVER, POWER, and SIREN — controlled pump, strong narrative push, then dump once retail investors FOMO in.

4. Insider signals: Internal wallet movements and inflows to exchanges occurred right at the beginning of the pump.

Result: The price crashed hard from $25 down to around $12 in just a few hours — not random, but a planned liquidity absorption after the hype peak.

Haris’ conclusion: It’s not a full-blown “rug pull,” but rather a systematic, planned distribution instead of a pure organic pump.

The post received high engagement, with the community split: some agreed they’ve seen this playbook many times, while others are still monitoring or calling it a buying opportunity.

(This ties directly into ZachXBT’s ongoing accusations of manipulation in $RAVE.)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
