Because at the very start, all the chips are in the hands of the project team. They can freely move funds from left hand to right hand and draw the price upward—there’s no pressure at all.
Then they connect with a group of KOLs and big V influencers who have aligned interests, and get them to hype and issue trade calls.
After they create a large number of addresses to build momentum, and attract massive attention, the price is rising quickly, and at this point retail investors are either afraid to buy or won’t buy too much.
Then the project team themselves will smash the price down by 50% to see whether a large number of people will come in to “buy the dip” and pick up a bargain.
If there are buyers who dip-buy, the dog-style whales will dump massive amounts. If there’s no dip-buy, they’ll keep bouncing up a bit, then drop back down again—luring slowly and steadily.
Once they manage to unload a batch of inventory, what comes next is a sideways grind downward: the highs keep getting lower.
Unless this coin is the industry leader of its track—where after dropping several times it might have a chance to turn around—or unless there are futures/contracts where a big boss gets trapped while shorting, other air coins can only keep getting distributed endlessly, eventually bleeding to zero in a chronic way.
That’s the lifecycle of an air coin.
