Pump/Dump Detector
Pump/Dump Detector
The Pump/Dump Detector identifies sudden, significant price movements in cryptocurrency futures markets. It monitors Binance and Bybit for rapid price changes across three time windows and alerts you when thresholds are exceeded.
How It Works
The detector runs every minute, comparing current prices to historical snapshots:
| Detection Window | Description | |-----------------|-------------| | 5 minutes | Ultra-fast spikes — flash crashes or pumps | | 15 minutes | Short-term momentum shifts | | 60 minutes | Significant directional moves |
A pump is detected when price rises by 3%+ within a window. A dump is detected when price falls by 3%+ within a window.
Exchanges Monitored
- Binance — all USDT perpetual futures
- Bybit — all linear perpetual contracts
Data is collected via bulk ticker APIs (one call per exchange per minute), making detection efficient and comprehensive.
Feed Display

Alert Set Parameters
| Parameter | Range | Default | |-----------|-------|---------| | Name | 1–100 characters | — | | Exchanges | Binance, Bybit, or all | All | | Min Change % | ≥ 1% | 5% | | Window | 5, 15, or 60 minutes only | 15 min | | Direction | Both / Pump / Dump | Both | | Symbols | Specific pairs | All | | Daily limit | 1–50 alerts/day | 10 |
Tip: Set min change to 5%+ on the 5-minute window to catch only significant flash moves, not routine volatility.
Interpreting Pump/Dump Events
Pump Signals
- Sudden pump without clear news → possible whale accumulation or market manipulation
- Pump + high volume → stronger signal, more participants involved
- Multiple symbols pumping simultaneously → broad market rally
Dump Signals
- Sharp dump + high liquidation volume → cascade liquidation event
- Dump on low volume → possible stop hunt before reversal
- Single symbol dump → likely instrument-specific news
Combining Windows
- Event appears on 5m but NOT 15m → temporary spike, likely to reverse
- Event appears on all three windows → strong sustained move
- 5m pump followed by 15m dump → bull trap / distribution
FAQ
Q: What's the minimum price change to detect? A: The system stores events from 3%+ change. User alerts can be configured from 1%+ threshold.
Q: Are these events real-time? A: Near real-time. Price snapshots are taken every minute, so detection has up to 1-minute latency.
Q: Can I set alerts for specific coins only? A: Yes — use the Symbols field in alert sets to monitor only your preferred coins.
