The Real Timeline: What $USUAL Could Look Like After Exchange Listing

Token listings aren’t random chaos—they follow predictable patterns. Here’s the playbook:

Day 1: The Chaos Hours

Expect violent swings. You’ll see:

• Listing day pump: Traders FOMO in, price shoots up fast
• The rug shake: Early holders dump bags, price crashes
• Wild volatility: 20-30% daily swings are normal

Why? Thin liquidity meets hype. Professional traders know this dance and play it hard.

First Week: Finding the Bottom

After the initial fireworks:

• Sell pressure peaks: If the pump was insane, expect bigger dumps
• Price discovery: Market figures out the real price, usually 30-50% below the pump peak
• Volume stays high: FOMO traders stick around, media hype drives newcomers

This phase determines if the coin finds support or continues bleeding.

Weeks 2-3: The Calm Before

• Liquidity improves: Being on a major exchange helps—easier to enter/exit
• Volatility drops: Price stabilizes as day traders get bored and move on
• News matters more: Any project announcement now moves price significantly

1-3 Months Out: Reality Check

Long-term success depends on fundamentals:

• Does the project actually deliver on promises?
• Is there real adoption or just hype?
• Can it compete with existing solutions?

Coins that just pump and dump die here. Projects with actual utility can find new support levels and climb.

What Actually Moves the Needle

Market macro: Bear market? Expect 60%+ dumps. Bull market? Price might defy gravity.

Team moves: Partnership announcements, product launches, or developer activity can trigger rallies—or dump if they’re unimpressive.

On-chain signals: Watch for wallet concentration, exchange inflows/outflows, and holder behavior. Smart money leaves clues.

Sentiment: Twitter, Reddit, Discord—if discussion dies, price follows.
