#币圈黑话 Day 12: Chasing the pump—buying only after the price has risen often means you’re buying at the peak.
In plain English: IG was giving 2.5 points, and the best available sell price on Predict had already reached 0.700. That means you’re getting in at a 70% price; the remaining 30% is only theoretical upside.
Observed data: In the Game Handicap market, IG (-2.5) vs. Top Esports (+2.5), the price was 0.700 against a breakeven price of 1.0—a theoretical price gap of 30.0%. This kept showing up across 5 of 20 rounds. But a maker’s posted price isn’t the same as an executed trade: in 105 paper-trading tests, not a single one was profitable. Before chasing the pump, work out whether that 30% is enough to cover slippage.
The last time you chased a pump, did you make a profit or get left holding the bag?
