You're making it too complicated. It's even simpler:
1. The coin has a real use
2. Having a practicality and usefulness will increase the demand for it, therefore the value will rise.
i don't know but most pumped coin have no use but they went x100, last one was pascalcoin, that went from 1000 to 100k for one day, but it has no use, i think the pump and dump is just random and don't follow any pattern, just invest in some coin 10% each that you think have potential and hope for the best
