We need to understand that sudden abnormal pump will result in a fast correction after whales make their profit and greedy peoples start buying blindly that's why they will end up in the situation you mentioned. Sadly, many coins are getting affected this way and this can be only caused by manipulations from my humble view.
Starting with an investment need much knowledge and it's not suggested to anyone, one has to control his greed, do a lot of research and not look for a fast profit.
