There is absolutely nothing like predicting future pumps, as the only thing you can do in the market is to pick the lows based on some criteria you feel they ended up meeting and being patient enough to wait for it, which is what a lot of people tend not to have anyway.

There is also nothing like pure luck, unless you just get to see the market you are holding do hugely well in a very short time and what matters in most of these scenarios is just to know what you are doing at every point in time either as a trader or as an investor.
