The token has gained roughly 30% over the last seven days, even as it remains down 17% on the month and nearly 71% below its all-time high of $0.00881 set in September.<\/p>\n<p>Trading activity expanded alongside the recovery. Spot volume reached $182 million in the last 24 hours, a 30% increase, pointing to stronger participation rather than a thin liquidity bounce.<\/p>\n<p>Derivatives <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/PUMPFUN\/futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> from CoinGlass shows a similar pattern. Futures volume climbed 29% to $101 million, while open interest rose a modest 1.9% to $64 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Platform activity surges<\/h2>\n<p>The recent price recovery has has been triggered by a sharp pickup in Pump.fun\u2019s (PUMP) on-chain activity. Dune Analytics <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dune.com\/jhackworth\/pumpfun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> shows daily trading volume reached $116 million on Dec. 6, a clear improvement from the $60\u201380 million range that dominated through December and early January. <\/p>\n<p>Daily active addresses have climbed to 135,242, the highest level in months, while 24-hour protocol revenue hit $2.67 million.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The platform\u2019s longer-term numbers are striking. Pump.fun brought in just under $1 billion in revenue in 2025, with a large share of that coming in the final quarter. A significant portion of those funds, a little over $200 million, has been directed toward buying back PUMP tokens. This has taken about 10% of the supply out of circulation and helped support a deflationary setup.<\/p>\n<p>Even with those numbers, the project isn\u2019t without issues. Pump.fun is dealing with the possibility of a lawsuit that could reach around $500 million, and it has faced ongoing backlash over reports that the vast majority of tokens launched on the platform end up as rug pulls. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PUMP price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<p>The overall picture is still leaning bearish to neutral. For months, PUMP has been trapped in a pattern of lower highs and lower lows, and the most recent push higher appears to be more of a temporary bounce than the beginning of a true trend shift.<\/p>\n<p>The Bollinger Bands show price bouncing off the lower range. That said, the bands aren\u2019t widening much, suggesting momentum is still muted.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PUMP daily chart. Credit: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Price is now pressing up against the 20-day moving average from below, and that average is still trending downward. A clear daily close above it, with continued strength, would be a constructive sign. If the price gets rejected here, it would likely confirm that the broader bearish structure is still in place.<\/p>\n<p>Conflicting signals are coming from momentum. After emerging from oversold territory, the relative strength index has risen back to the mid-50s, indicating some improvement in strength. However, in weaker markets, rallies often stall in this area. <\/p>\n<p>Support on the downside is located between $0.0020 and $0.0021, with a stronger floor near $0.0015. Resistance is between $0.0026 and $0.0027, followed by a wider supply area around $0.003.<\/p>\n<p>If PUMP can hold above $0.0025 and reclaim short-term moving averages, the price could extend toward the $0.003 area. Failure to maintain current levels would likely refocus attention on the $0.002 support zone, keeping the broader downtrend in place.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PUMP\u2019s push above its 20-day average comes as trading volumes and platform activity spike, but the move still lacks a clear trend reversal pattern.
