What the check showed before the fall
Our first check graded Jcat C at 04:31 UK time, 20 minutes after launch, with 1 warning sign:
The price first fell below half its peak at 05:05, 30 minutes after its highest point in our records. Before that, 3 of the 4 warning signs in this replay had appeared:
- 04:31 First check: grade C, 1 warning sign
- 04:31 Paid profile bought while up 5.4x in an hour
- 05:02 Lost its clean grade: A to C
1 more sign appeared after the fall began.
24 hours after launch: still trading, 0% below the highest price we recorded. It is here as a counter-example.
Our read: warning signs raise the risk, they do not set a date. This coin carried them and was still trading a day later.
