Six real shapes of a bad launch, plus a couple that look suspicious and are not. For each one, decide: is this a red flag, or is this normal?
You will get an explanation after every answer — including the ones you get right, because knowing why matters more than the score.
The rule behind every question
None of these are proof on their own. What you are looking for is a reason someone else has more control over the price than you do — and whether that reason is visible before you buy.
Why the explanations matter more than the score
A quiz can teach you seven patterns. It cannot teach you the eighth, because someone will invent it next week. What transfers is the question underneath all of them: who has more control over this price than I do, and can I see it before I buy?
If you can answer that from the public data, you are already ahead of most buyers. If you cannot, the correct position size is zero.
For the slow version of the same reasoning, spotting a scam before you lose walks through it, and the warning signs page catalogues the patterns.
Not financial advice. Every scenario here is generic and describes patterns, not any specific token.
