Pump and dump is market manipulation: a group coordinates to buy an asset simultaneously (pump → price spikes → attracts FOMO buyers), then dumps in sync at the high (dump → victims are left with the crash).

Illegal on regulated markets. In crypto often organized through Telegram groups. Victims are the ones who buy after the pump has started.
