PUMP breaks key support as buybacks struggle to stem losses – Can buyers return?

After Pump.fun [$PUMP] peaked near $0.0068 in early October, it declined sharply since then due to seller dominance. Prices initially remained in a range of approximately $0.00530 through $0.00600.

However, repeated attempts to breach higher levels demonstrated that buyer momentum was being diminished.

Following the drop below $0.00525, selling increased rapidly as the market also lost its consolidation floor. Subsequent falls in price below $0.00475 deepened the losses even further with buyers unable to protect an additional demand level.

As a result, prices have fallen towards $0.00430 and left the late September rally increasingly vulnerable. Supportive indicators of the bearish trend include rising volumes of selling along with the current RSI reading of 26.09, indicating over-sold conditions.

However, weak momentum could persist unless buyers absorb selling near $0.004226. Holding this level may encourage a relief bounce toward $0.00475, where former support could attract renewed selling.

Conversely, a breakdown could expose $0.00380–$0.00400, extending losses and weakening confidence in $PUMP’s recovery.

$PUMP volume cools despite buybacks

$PUMP’s sharp decline toward $0.00430 raises questions about whether activity across $PUMP can provide enough demand to support recovery. Although $PUMP’s trading volume remains large, it has recently decreased and provides very little indication of growing new buying pressure.

$PUMP’s trading history peaked near $840 million in late August and September. On October 13, daily turnover had fallen to $489.2 million, with PumpSwap contributing nearly $333 million and Pums’ bonding curve contributing just under $157 million.

This simply shows that secondary-market swaps generate nearly all of Pumps’ trading activity.

However, this turnover has not prevented $PUMP’s recent breakdown, highlighting the difference between platform usage and token demand. Daily revenue rose to $1.95 million, which facilitated $976,200 in buy backs that eliminated 0.019% of total supply.

Despite buybacks capping circulating supply, their impact is minimal since they operate at a slower pace. Therefore, for a recovery to materialize, both sustained volume increase and greater buying demand need to emerge.

All together, $PUMP’s recovery depends on defending $0.004226, renewed buying demand, and stronger activity to offset selling pressure and limited buyback impact.

Conversely, $PUMP faces further downside toward $0.00380 if support breaks, but oversold conditions and sustained buybacks could encourage a rebound if demand returns.

Final Summary

• Pump.fun remains bearish as sellers threaten to extend losses, although oversold conditions leave room for a rebound.

• However, $PUMP’s buybacks offer limited support, leaving recovery dependent on stronger demand and sustained trading activity.
