$BTC A “pump” is a rapid price surge, often driven by hype, coordinated buying, or low liquidity.

A “dump” is the sharp sell-off that follows when early buyers take profit and late buyers panic-sell.

Pump-and-dump schemes are common in small-cap coins and can be illegal market manipulation.

To avoid getting trapped: be cautious of sudden spikes, influencer shills, and “guaranteed” profit claims.
