XLM rises 8.5% in 24 hours, with the price just over 0.19 and a market cap of about six to seven billion USD. On the gainers list, the 8.5% increase isn’t the most eye-catching, but its trading volume of over 12 million USD is the highest on the list—nearly ten times more than first-place T.

A coin with a market cap of sixty to seventy billion needs real money to push it like that. It doesn’t feel like small coins that can produce a double-digit surge with just a few million USD. With this kind of volume, I’m willing to look twice.

I’ve taken losses like this too. In the last cycle, I chased a small “妖币” that was pumping a few million in trading volume and topping the list—and the very next day it got trapped in the dump, and I was forced to cut out. Now when I look at the rankings, I check the trading volume column first, then how much it rose. More than 12 million USD piled into the 0.19 range contains more information than the rank itself.
