$PONS Today +12%, but the real signal in the chart isn’t this. If you only watch this single bullish candle, you’ll miss a more critical fact: it’s still 32% away from the ATH, and the price has been falling over the past seven days.

If you flatten the 30-day chart, that’s the full story. From $0.06 to $0.91 took just a week and a half; then from $0.91 back to $0.58 took another week. This time, the bullish candle at $0.655 is essentially the second attempt to reach the upper boundary of the range after pulling away from the ATH. What about volume? $75M. It looks sizeable, but compared to the $231M parabolic volume on September 7, it’s down by two-thirds.

What I care about more is this: whether the capital that participated in this rally of 1340% off the bottom is still willing to rebuild positions in the $0.60–$0.65 zone, rather than treating every rebound as an opportunity to reduce exposure. In other words, the real variable isn’t whether the price can return to $0.97—it’s whether that $59M–$75M volume band can be expanded again. If later, on some day, volume surges and breaks above $0.70 and holds, then the earlier drop can be called a sweep. If it rebounds to $0.68 but volume fades and it turns back, then that’s only a continuation during a downtrend.

Current holders are in a really awkward spot—they’ve got thick profits, but the drawdown comes fast. The ones who missed the move are even more awkward: with a 1340% run sitting right in front of them, they chase in only to end up helping others get out. What I’m most unsure about is how much of this 30-day 1340% surge actually translated into real on-chain holdings, versus whether most of the coins still remain concentrated in a small number of addresses. You tell me: which data point would most quickly disprove my bearish assumption—volume expanding back to $150M+ first, or on-chain holdings starting to noticeably diversify?
