In the gainers and losers coinmarketcap table, one often sees values of up to 300% gain. How do you go about detecting what coin is going to be pumped soon?

It can't be detected (random)

Other than that, I have the impression that the pump is often realized by a single person investing a bit of money.

Maybe it's just a luck, But regarding the pump of altcoin is being randomly or unpredictable and I can say the possible person has known about it already included on the pump team.
Or he's got right analyzation.

If overall volume is low, this results in a tremendous gain. I guess they hope other people would notice and jump on it too. I have no evidence of this though so would like to know if this theory holds...

Every theory allowed on crypto. There is no something wrong with it.
