Wash volume pattern on Arbitrum

Wash trading is the artificial inflation of activity by trading with yourself. On-chain it shows up as a buy/sell ratio no organic market produces: hundreds of buys against a handful of sells, or the mirror image during a coordinated dump. CaliberToken rejects any pool whose ratio crosses the wash threshold in either direction.

The two directions mean different things. Extreme buy dominance is manufactured hype designed to attract real buyers into a trap. Extreme sell dominance is an insider exit in progress. Both are rejected with the exact ratio on record.

Organic markets breathe in both directions. Even the strongest trending token records meaningful sell flow as early buyers take profit. A pool whose ratio sits at 30:1 or 50:1 for a full day is not trending — it is being painted.

Arbitrum's token launch culture skews toward smaller but more technically literate deployers. Rejection volume is lower than the launchpad-heavy networks, and a larger share of rejections come from contract-level flags rather than empty pools.
