TL;DR
A parabolic pump-and-bleed that turned a DEX also-ran into a top-35 coin, vaporised $110 m of shorts in 24 h, then dumped 39 m freshly-unlocked tokens on the FOMO crowd—while the same hands were already short the top. A step-by-step manual in four acts.

0 → $17 in eight weeks

• Jun 25: $0.047, 24-h vol < $1 m.

• Aug 8: first leg to $2.49.

• Sep 8–9: +1 132 % in seven days, daily candle +291 %.

• Vol peaks $880 m (spot) – a 71× jump.

• RSI (7 d) prints 98.06 – a statistical impossibility without a gun to the market’s head.

• MC touches $3.5 bn (#34 on CMC) on <20 % circulating supply.

1. Short-squeeze engine

• Sep 8 perpetual open-interest = $1.6 bn (50× max leverage).

• $14.6 m liquidated, $11 m from shorts.

• Binance had quietly shifted funding to hourly settlements—higher friction for bears.

2. Unlock & dump rehearsal

• 39 m MYX (3.9 %) unlocked 00:00 UTC Sep 8—first block after the 17 $ wick.

• Hack VC wallet moves 835 k MYX straight to MEXC (now worth $21.5 m).

• Same pattern in Aug: unlock → −58 % next week.

3. Wash-trade overlay

• Perp volume 60–90 bn $ vs spot <1 bn $—a 60× gap impossible without bots.

• Identical micro-buys on BitGet, Pancake, Binance within same 50 ms windows (captured by @0xD0M_).

• 2 300+ dust wallets consolidate into one EOA—classic layering.

Step 1 Corner float

• Lock-up leaves only 197 m tokens drifting; insiders control price feed.

Step 2 Spot-ledge → perp nuke

• Push spot through key tech level ($3.69) → mark-price races → 50× shorts cascade.

• Forced bids become your rocket fuel; you actually reduce buy-pressure mid-squeeze.

Step 3 Market the moon

• #MYX trending, CT influencers quote 1 000 % gains, “V2 upgrade” headline copied verbatim.

• FOMO inflow supplies exit liquidity before unlock block is even mined.

Step 4 Flip and snipe

• Distribute unlocked bag into retail bid wall.

• Open fresh shorts while vol still inflated; when support gone, let gravity pay the funding.

• Result: longs liquidated on the way down, shorts already bled on the way up → both sides pay you.

Tokenomics that lock 80 % supply + hourly funding + unlock calendar = a loaded gun.
Narrative (V2 upgrade) gives cover, wash-trade gives depth, squeeze gives fireworks, unlock gives exit.
Retail thinks they’re joining a bull run; in reality they’re volatility donors to a pre-scheduled supply dump.

Don’t trade the candle when the fuse is printed in the unlock schedule.
