📊 NKN / USDT — Why does price pump after a delisting announcement?

Sounds illogical, right? Delisting should be bearish — but often we see a pump first.

Here’s why it happens:

🔹 Speculative hype — traders jump in for a quick “last chance” move.

🔹 Short squeeze — many open shorts expecting a dump; when price moves up, shorts get liquidated → forced buys push price higher.

🔹 Low liquidity — before delisting, the order book gets thin, so even small buys can move price a lot.

🔹 Exit liquidity — big players sell into the pump, while retail buys in FOMO.

🔹 Arbitrage flows — some move funds between exchanges, creating short-term demand.

So this is NOT fundamental growth — it’s a final speculative spike.

⚠️ Important: these pumps are usually temporary and often followed by a sharp dump as the delisting time approaches (like now on Binance).

📌 Bottom line:

Delisting pumps = high risk.

This is a fast trade, not a long-term investment. #nkn #delist $NKN
