This is something I have done every day for over 7 years ...
Anticipate the market, by examining the momentum, volume shift, trend strength, in-flows and such.
Realistically though ... you need a system that will ingest real-time ticker data from multiple exchanges.
Then apply a series of algorithms to determine if it's actually "real" volume or just a pump and dump group.
Once you filter the market, then it all makes sense. You will discover "value" moves across base pairs.
Kind of like a school of fish, following certain leaders (boutique funds and low tier institutional traders).
In this case, XRP exploded because of the court case settlement ... but it was also fairly easy to detect the pump using technical analysis.
Those symbols in the dead flat area are visual reminders that the bulls and bears are fighting.
Incidentally, the raw liquidation amounts, on Wednesday were some of the lowest I have seen for years.
There was most certainly a calm before the decision was made. The market was very split as you can see above.
In truth, the crypto markets are complete madness, and 24/7 automation is required for high probability trading.
Notice I said "high-probability" instead of "high-profitability" - that's a different game.
It seems like you want to anticipate the market, and unfortunately ... most public tools are complete trash.
No repeatable methodology - no actual results to speak of ... they just choose anything that goes up.
My advice would be ... use a higher time frame, and give yourself time to anticipate break outs in advance.
Don't stress the 1 minute candle. You can use 45 minute candles in any market to make sensible decisions.

Quite easy to predict ... and it did even more than XRP, but it took over 3 weeks.
