This is really valuable. And I've found all things have patterns. Where it becomes tea is when there's differences in what's being tracked. For instance, a real pumpdump is going to have a different kind of pattern than something that has a solid backbone. Something based on want is going to look different than something based on need. Something that's not that marketable or taboo might not get the same media attention. Many factors are involved but overall, I think there is some truth to pattern. Human behavior is reasonably predictable although there's always surprises- which is part of the predictability.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to go have a deeper look into this model.
