Key Takeaways
Pump.fun’s (PUMP) price has taken a beating since launch, plunging 67% and dragging investor sentiment down with it.
However, the tide may be starting to turn. After a long slump, PUMP recently broke through a key resistance level, signaling early signs of a potential recovery.
That said, the momentum is still fragile, and the token has more work to do before confirming a full bullish reversal.
Since its launch, PUMP has seen a steep decline, completing a clear five-wave downward move that bottomed out at a new all-time low of $0.0022.
But on July 29, the token showed its first real sign of life. It bounced off the low and broke above a descending resistance trend line, later validating that breakout as support (see green icon).
With that breakout confirmed, the correction appears to be over, setting the stage for a potential relief rally targeting the $0.0040–$0.0046 range.
It’s still too early to tell if this rebound marks the start of a full five-wave uptrend or just a temporary A-B-C correction. Either way, the price looks set to test higher levels in the short term.

Momentum indicators support this optimistic PUMP price prediction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has generated a bullish divergence (orange) and is above 50.
So, PUMP will likely increase toward the proposed target.
Sentiment around PUMP remains overwhelmingly bearish following its steep decline since launch.
Across crypto circles, the PUMP monthly chart has become a meme, one massive red candlestick, and many traders are poking fun at prominent influencers who previously urged others to buy in.
Adding to the skepticism is the fact that PUMP has now dropped below its presale price of $0.004, raising serious questions about the token’s launch performance.
Still, there are a few developments providing a glimmer of hope.
Most notably, Pump.fun is using 100% of its revenue to buy back PUMP tokens.
This sparked interest from crypto personality Machi Big Brother, who opened a large long position after recognizing the aggressive buyback strategy.
There’s also community activity helping to sustain interest:
While the broader sentiment remains negative, the ongoing buybacks and community incentives suggest that not all confidence is lost, at least for now.
While overall sentiment toward Pump.fun remains bearish due to its steep fall and failed launch, the buyback initiative offers hope.
The PUMP price will likely rally toward $0.0040-$0.0046 in the short term, but the long-term trend remains unclear.
