The listing of a new coin on the exchange always causes excitement. 💥 Everyone talks about quick x2s, and sometimes even x5s. But reality often turns out to be much harsher.

How does listing work?

🚀 Premarket: Before trading starts, the price is already being formed based on demand, often inflated due to hype.

💡 First wave: In the first minutes, the price can soar sharply and then crash, leaving inexperienced traders at a loss.

Why not buy the coin at the most appealing price?

🔒 Algorithms take priority: The first and most profitable trades are conducted by automated trading bots set for instant purchases. A human simply can't keep up with their speed.

💻 Technical limitations: Even if you click "Buy" at the exact second, the price may have already soared. This is due to delays in data transmission to the exchange server.

🎯 Big players: "Whales" often buy significant volumes of tokens at early stages or immediately after launch to take advantage of the hype at the price peak.

Listing risks

🔴 Manipulations: The price skyrockets and then plummets rapidly, leaving most participants with losses. This is often related to the actions of large players.

🔴 Liquidity issues: When the price falls, it can be difficult to exit a position, especially if the market is flooded with sell orders.

🔴 FOMO: "This coin will definitely give x2!" — you think, buying at the peak. But an hour later, you see a minus of 40% and don’t know what to do.

Strategies that work

🎯 Patience: Wait 1–2 days after the listing. During this period, the price often stabilizes. Yes, you may miss a quick x2, but you will avoid sharp losses.

🎯 Fundamental analysis: Study the project: does it have real value, who is behind it, are there partners, and is there working technology?

🎯 Risk share: Invest a small amount to test the strategy, not your entire capital.

$VANA For example

💡 Let's consider the recent listing of the Vana (VANA) token on Binance.

#Vana is an EVM-compatible Level 1 blockchain platform focused on user-owned data. Trading pairs VANA/USDT, VANA/BNB, VANA/FDUSD, and VANA/TRY started on December 16, 2024. (Details on Binance)

In the first minutes after the listing, the price of VANA skyrocketed 🚀, attracting the attention of many traders. However, as is often the case, a correction followed 📉, and those who bought at the peak faced losses. This example highlights the importance of caution and analysis when participating in listings.

Why is everyone talking about x2 and more?

This only works for a few. Statistics show that 70% of coins fall below the initial price after listing. The market creates an illusion of easy profit, but those who can wait and analyze often win.

How to approach listing wisely

✅ Keep an eye on Binance Launchpad and Launchpool announcements — projects with real potential often appear there.

✅ Don't risk more than you are willing to lose. Listing always brings volatility and excitement, but not a guarantee of profit.

✅ Learn to see real opportunities behind the hype. If the price has soared, but the project offers nothing, it might be better to stay away.

Listing is a game where you need composure and a clear plan. Don't let the hype throw you off course! 🎮
