$LAB Deep Dive: Is this wave of pumping another script written by the manipulators? Are you caught again?
Following the methodology from the previous article, $LAB closely matches a low‑floating‑token BNB Chain pump script (similar to a hybrid of $COAI rapid pump + MYX squeeze).
It is currently in the mid‑stage of pumping/squeezing; the probability of a second upward wave remains, but it could enter a distribution phase at any time, making retail investors highly likely to become exit liquidity—high risk.
Basic Information (as of 2026-05-04 real‑time):
- Chain: BNB Chain, contract 0x7ec43cf65f1663f820427c62a5780b8f2e25593a
- Total supply 1 billion, circulating only about 230.4 million (23% unlocked, 77% still locked) → extremely low circulation, perfectly meeting the article's core conditions (MYX 9.21%, COAI 19.65%)
- Current price around $2.3‑$2.5 (7‑day surge once exceeded +193%, with a noticeable pullback over 24h)
- Market cap about $530‑$550 million, 24h trading volume $500‑$600 million+ (both spot and futures are very high)
Derivatives Core Data (CoinAnk + Coinglass):
- Open interest roughly $278 million, rising steadily recently
- Funding rate positive 0.25%‑0.3% (longs pay shorts)
- Volume/OI ratio far exceeds the normal 3‑8×, strongly suspecting OI brushing
- Over $100 million liquidated in 24h, mixed longs and shorts, with many short positions liquidated recently
Order book level: multiple flash pulls and high abnormal events observed, matching the fingerprint of TWAP and iceberg order eating.
Supply control and script matching:
Circulation is only 23%, a typical feature of “low on‑paper circulation, high actually controllable token holdings”. Highly suspected of coordinated funds controlling the market behind the scenes.
Matches two scripts:
- COAI‑style rapid pump (low floating supply + Alpha + Futures, initial surge completed within weeks)
- MYX‑style squeeze (high OI + positive funding rate + continuous short liquidations, market makers using leveraged waterfall to push price up)
Let grok guess the subsequent script:
Short term (1‑7 days): second pump still possible (OI continues to rise, funding stays positive, buyer takers dominate).
Mid‑short term (7‑14 days): focus on large on‑chain transfers (wallet → CEX). Once noticeable transfers occur + funding rate approaches zero/reverses + OI‑price divergence → distribution phase kicks in, market makers start offloading, retail gets the final hit. If rumors of early unlocking of the 77% locked supply surface, it will accelerate a dump.
Seasoned on‑chain traders are most likely to fall into the second‑round squeeze trap.
Monitoring checklist:
- CoinAnk: monitor OI chart, Weighted Funding Rate, Liquidation Heatmap, Taker Ratio, Order Flow
- Coinglass: OI vs Price, Long/Short Ratio
- Bubblemaps / Arkham: input contract to check wallet clusters; a large number of synchronized wallet actions is ironclad evidence of market control
- BscScan: real‑time watch large wallets transferring to CEX (the most direct exit signal)
Friends already in the market: enforce strict stop‑loss/stop‑gain, keep a small position for the second wave, but be ready to exit at any time.
Friends not yet in: high risk, consider only after clear distribution signals appear.
Don't become exit liquidity!
