Raydium absorbs a constant stream of new pools, including everything graduating from Pump.fun, and the standard shape is one busy hour followed by a flat line. The pools still trading after that hour are a small minority, which is exactly why they get noticed. Continuous two-sided swaps keep yours in that minority for as long as you fund it.
