Pump & Dump Detector (sensitive)
📊 Pump & Dump Detector — Volatility & Volume-Based Impulse Scanner
Description:
This indicator is designed to detect early and confirmed signs of high-impact market movements, such as pumps (sharp price increases) and dumps (sharp price drops). It intelligently combines multiple market signals to provide timely alerts of potential momentum spikes.
🔧 Components & Logic:
1. Price Change (%):
Compares the current closing price to the previous one. This is used as the main trigger for confirmed pump or dump detection.
2. Volume Spike:
Detects abnormal activity by comparing the current volume to the moving average over a user-defined period. If the current volume exceeds the average by a specified multiplier (default: 1.8x), a spike is detected.
3. Volatility Spike (High - Low):
Measures bar expansion. A sudden increase in bar range often indicates breakout conditions or liquidation events.
4. NATR (Normalized ATR):
Normalized Average True Range is calculated as (ATR / Close) * 100, making volatility comparable across all timeframes and instruments.
5. Min Volume Filter:
Filters out signals from low-liquidity coins to reduce false alerts and market noise.
🧠 Why It’s Useful:
This is not a mashup of random indicators, but a thoughtfully engineered system where each filter strengthens the signal validity.
It allows you to spot explosive moves before they fully unfold, making it ideal for:
Intraday scalping
Altcoin watchlists
Flash crash detection
Early reversal or breakout trades
🖥 How to Use:
Add the indicator to any crypto chart.
Enable alerts for:
🚨 Early Pump
💥 Confirmed Pump
🔻 Early Dump
🔥 Confirmed Dump
React to confirmed signals using your preferred strategy — breakout, fade, or continuation.
Use in combination with key levels, orderbook data, or trend filters for best results.
📌 Example Use Case:
On a 5-minute chart of a low-cap altcoin, the indicator may issue an early signal when:
Price increases by more than 2.5%
Volume is 2x the average
Bar range is significantly larger than the recent average
NATR is above its smoothed average × 1.2
🛡 Originality & Purpose:
This script was not built to simply combine popular indicators, but to serve a very specific use-case — detecting early-stage pumps and dumps.
By blending classic tools (like volume, ATR) with contextual filters, it becomes a true pattern-based predictive signal, not a repackaged overlay.
