By studying the charts well and being aware of the news it will be very easy to study the market and predict the pump and dumps! I recommend that you use coinigy.com has very cool indicators, and in Youtube there are trading classes you can start there and for the news feedly.com makes a compilation of all the news of the day and there you can know which is relevant or not! good luck 
Yeah these are the things which are necessary for prediction. I think that prediction is not an easy job and most of the experiences and well informed analysts cannot predict the nearest price for the future. If you think that you are capable of doing all these things then you can predict the future price. If not then you will also mislead other investors.
