Coins on Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone and Digital X whose premium runs away from Bitcoin's, whose deposits are closed, or that carry an exchange caution flag. The more signals a coin has at once, the more carefully you should look. Signals show facts only - they do not say a coin is manipulated.

※ Each signal is a fact from the exchanges' public data. A signal does not mean manipulation or anything unlawful; investment decisions are your own.
Signals that went off lately
How long each signal was on and the price over that time on the coin's busiest Korean exchange; only signals on for over an hour. (recorded since Nov 11)
Coins pushed by price manipulation tend to leave the same marks. Go through these seven checks; this page shows 1-6 as signals, number 7 you check yourself.
1
Is only this coin's premium high?
Bitcoin's premium is 1-2% but this coin's is 10-30%? A gap that buying abroad and selling here should close at once is holding - usually because deposits are closed or money wanting this coin only in Korea has piled in.
On this page: Premium gap signal
2
Is the price rising while deposits are closed?
With deposits closed no coins can come in from abroad, so the Korean price is easy to push up - often called a "cage pump". When deposits reopen, coins from abroad tend to flow in and the price falls fast.
On this page: Wallet halt signal
3
Does almost all trading happen in Korea?
When 80-90% or more of a coin's worldwide value trades on Korean exchanges, overseas prices cannot hold the Korean price in place, and a little money can move it a lot.
On this page: Korea-heavy signal
4
Did trading jump several times without news?
Five to ten times the usual value with no notice or news? Look for the reason first. Coins with a small market value and few coins in circulation move most easily.
On this page: Volume surge signal
5
Did the exchange put up a caution flag?
Upbit and Bithumb flag sharp price swings, soaring volume or deposits, gaps with global prices and trading concentrated in a few accounts. "Trading concentrated in a few accounts" means a handful of accounts is moving the price - this page's "Big orders" signal shows the same from every trade on the four exchanges.
On this page: Exchange alert signalOn this page: Big orders signal
6
Did the chart shoot straight up and leave a long upper wick?
A vertical rise in minutes or hours followed by a long upper wick, repeated at similar times of day, is a warning sign. This page turns on "Spike fade" when a coin rose 30% or more from its 24h low and is now 15% or more under the high; look at the chart on the exchange as well.

7
Are chat rooms saying "it's about to go"?
Talk that singles out a coin with "it's about to go" or "target 5x", or promotion piling up right after a listing or a reopening, often means early buyers are looking for someone to sell to.

A signal alone does not make a pump
Deposits close for a while during network upgrades and wallet maintenance.
Real news - a partnership, a mainnet launch - can bring a rush of trading.
A freshly listed coin can keep a wide premium for a few days.
Price gaps can widen briefly while an overseas exchange is under maintenance.
Be most careful when several signals stay on together for a long time.Price manipulation is illegal under Korea's Virtual Asset User Protection Act; suspicious trading can be reported to the exchange or to the Financial Supervisory Service.

How the signals are picked
Premium gap: each Korean exchange's premium for the coin against Bitcoin's premium on the same exchange; 5 pp or more either way. Yardstick: Binance (else the busiest of Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, Gate). No yardstick when it trades under USD 50,000 a day or the overseas prices differ by more than 15%; Korean markets under 50 million won a day are left out. Every 30 minutes.
Wallet halt: deposit and withdrawal status from each exchange's official API (a single network closed is left out). Every 5 minutes.
Exchange alert: Upbit's caution flags and investment warnings, Bithumb's caution / warning / danger alerts and investment warnings (every 5 minutes), and Coinone's and Digital X's investment warnings read from their notices (every 30 minutes).
Volume surge: a 24h value of 300 million won or more on an exchange and at least 3x its daily average of the last 7 days (Upbit and Bithumb from their daily candles, Coinone and Digital X from our own record once 3 days are kept). Every 5 minutes.
Big orders: the whale radar reads every trade on the 4 Korean exchanges and keeps orders that fill 5 million won or more at once; on when they are 60% or more of the coin's Korean 24h value (300 million won or more). Every 5 minutes.
Spike fade: 30% or more up from the 24h low and now 15% or more under the 24h high, from prices taken every 5 minutes (Upbit and Bithumb hourly candles for the first day); markets under 100 million won a day are left out.
Big move: a 24h change of +20% or more, or −20% or less (markets under 50 million won a day are left out). Every 5 minutes.
Korea-heavy: Korea's share of the coin's 24h value on 4 Korean and 12 overseas exchanges (USD 50,000 or more in all) is 80% or more. Every 30 minutes.
Market cap (not a signal): from CoinGecko once a day, matched by ticker and price. The larger Korea's 24h value against the market cap, the easier a little money moves the price.
How long and the record: the signals are worked out every 5 minutes; the time each came on is kept, and one not seen for an hour goes into the record as off.
Stablecoins are left out. The frozen prices of an exchange under maintenance are not used for the premium gap, the 24h change or the spike fade.
Frequently asked questions
QDoes a signal mean the coin is being manipulated?
No. Each signal is a plain fact - a premium far from Bitcoin's, a closed deposit, an exchange's caution flag. They also happen for ordinary reasons such as a network upgrade, real news or a fresh listing. Several signals on at once, for a long time, are the reason to look more carefully.
QHow is the premium gap worked out?
For each Korean exchange we take the coin's won price in dollars against one overseas price taken at the same moment (Binance when it trades the coin, otherwise the busiest of Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Bitget and Gate), then compare that premium with Bitcoin's on the same exchange. 5 percentage points or more either way turns the signal on.
QWhy does a closed deposit matter?
With deposits closed nobody can bring the coin in from abroad and sell it, so the Korean price can drift far above the world price. A high premium together with a closed deposit on the same exchange is the pattern to watch most.
QWhat are "big orders"?
Every trade on the four Korean exchanges is read live (the whale radar); an order that fills 5 million won or more at once counts as big. When such orders make up 60% or more of the coin's Korean 24h value, a handful of large traders is moving most of it.
QHow often does it change?
Every 5 minutes: wallet halts, exchange alerts, the 24h change, the 24h high and low, the volume surge and the big orders. Every 30 minutes: the premium gap and the Korean share. Market caps once a day.
QNo signal - is the coin safe then?
Not necessarily. Promotion in chat rooms cannot be counted here; read the checklist on this page before you buy a coin that is rising fast.
