Growing Retail Demand Boosts PUMP
Retail interest in PUMP is increasing. The futures Open Interest (OI) rose to $866 million after falling to $626 million on September 26. OI measures the total value of open futures contracts. A rise in OI means traders are more confident and are closing short positions.
The OI-Weighted Funding Rate also recovered to 0.0080% on Friday. This shows more traders are taking long positions. This helps keep the bullish momentum strong.
Technical Analysis: Key Support Holds
PUMP stays above the important $0.0070 support level. A Golden Cross appeared on the 4-hour chart. This happens when the 50-period EMA crosses above the 100-period EMA, signaling bullish sentiment. Traders aim for a breakout toward PUMP’s all-time high of $0.0089.
However, the $0.0080 level may act as resistance. Profit-taking could slow the uptrend there. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 62, showing some weakening momentum. If momentum drops, PUMP could lose some gains this week.
The MACD indicator on the 4-hour chart may give a sell signal soon. This happens if the MACD line crosses below the signal line. Traders may reduce risk if this occurs.
If PUMP falls below $0.0070, it could test support at the 50-period EMA ($0.0062), 100-period EMA ($0.0061), and 200-period EMA ($0.0057).
