Pump.fun [PUMP] continued to trend south as Bitcoin [BTC] hovered around the $77K-mark over the weekend. In the last 24 hours, the memecoin launch platform’s utility token PUMP shed 2.2% of its value, with the same falling by 6.2% over the past week.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, AMBCrypto had reported that the major unlock of $18 million worth of PUMP tokens could see a short-term bounce, but would be accompanied by a long-term downtrend.<\/p>\n

This short-term bullishness saw the token climb by 12.6% within 5 days to reach $$0.002. Since then, it has slid by 13.4% in 9 days.<\/p>\n

Recent bounce to $0.002 was part of a larger downtrend<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the 1-day timeframe, the trend was decidedly bearish. The downward impulse move in March and early April, from $0.00219 to $0.00156, saw a retracement earlier this month. This retracement faced a decisive rejection from the $0.00205-level, which was also the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level.<\/p>\n

The DMI showed there was no strong trend underway. However, as a lagging indicator, it is liable to be mistaken. Based on the daily timeframe’s price action, new local lows can be anticipated.<\/p>\n

The $0.00156 and $0.00142 levels would be the next bearish price targets. At the time of writing, the MACD and moving averages showed momentum was starting to turn bearish.<\/p>\n

Traders need to keep an eye on the $0.0017-level, which has been a long-term support and could stall downward momentum once again.<\/p>\n

Here’s what is needed to shift PUMP’s short-term bias bullishly<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The $0.00176-level had some importance over the past two weeks, but it has been breached after much trying from the sellers. On the 2-hour timeframe, the technical indicators agreed that the momentum and downtrend were stronger.<\/p>\n

To turn the bearish tides around, PUMP needs to reclaim $0.00176 and $0.00182. This would signal a short-term trend shift, which might develop into longer-term relief.<\/p>\n

However, as things stand, the higher and lower timeframes seem to be in agreement on a bearish PUMP price trend. It remains likely that PUMP would see another 9%-18% price drop in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

\n

Final Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • PUMP saw a price bounce to $0.002 after a major token unlock earlier in April, but this rally was sold off.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • The persistent bearish pressure was likely to force the altcoin to make new local lows below $0.00156.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
