Pump-and-dump schemes are a serious risk in crypto, but there are some telltale signs to watch for. Unusual trading volume spikes, especially in low-liquidity coins, can be a red flag. Social media hype with exaggerated claims and coordinated shilling often precedes the 'pump' phase. A rapid price spike without fundamental news is another warning sign. Staying cautious, doing your own research, and avoiding FOMO are key defenses. What strategies have you found effective for spotting and avoiding these schemes?
