Don’t touch QI—this surge is here to set you up

$BTC is holding steady around 84,800 and only barely up about 1%. The market itself is fine. The issue is these small coins.

$QI saw a 82% jump in a single day—looks tempting, right? I advise you to stay calm. With trading volume of only 7.6 million, for a coin that’s up 80%, it’s far too low. What does that mean? It means you don’t need much money to fling the price sky-high, which suggests a thin order book and poor depth. Coins like this either have the project team pump to attract retail “chasing” buyers, or some big holder wants to unload and first puts together a pretty chart.

I’ve seen this kind of script in crypto way too many times—after a run-up, they dump immediately, trapping a batch of late buyers who chased the price. For a low-liquidity coin like QI, the market maker can draw the chart however they want. If you jump in, you’re basically handing over money.

Look at a few of the violent drawdowns: NFP is down 65%, and VANRY is down 37%. Their volumes aren’t that large either—classic low-volume selloffs. It shows there aren’t many people willing to take the other side, but someone is smashing it without caring about cost. This kind of drop is either because something went wrong with the project, or because the main force is “clearing house.”

My take: these small coins that pump and dump wildly are all traps. $BTC is rock-solid—if you don’t follow it, why go gamble on a coin like this?

Have you ever fallen into a trap with this kind of small coin? What price did you enter at?
