Pump token has gained more than 35% over the past week, breaking above key daily moving averages as buyers target the upper boundary of a rising channel near $0.0028.
PUMP price extends its weekly rally
According to data,
$PUMP price traded near $0.00252 on Aug. 5 after reaching an intraday high of roughly $0.00256. The move lifted its weekly gain above 35% and marked a sharp recovery from the July 30 area near $0.0018.
The daily chart shows that PUMP has broken above a descending trendline that had capped the token since early 2026. Buyers also cleared the horizontal resistance area between $0.0022 and $0.0024, turning the former ceiling into a potential support zone.
This breakout followed a base-building period between $0.0013 and $0.0016 during June and early July. PUMP has since formed a series of higher lows, showing a shift from its broader downtrend toward accumulation.
Trading activity also increased as the breakout developed. The supplied market data showed daily volume rising above $153 million, suggesting the advance was supported by stronger participation rather than thin-market price movement.
Buybacks support demand after the July unlock
Pump revenue-funded repurchase program remains one of the main catalysts behind the recovery. The platform says half of its protocol fees are allocated to buying and burning PUMP, creating recurring spot demand when network activity rises.
Pump.funโs official token page showed annualized revenue of about $356 million, or approximately $976,500 per day, on Aug. 5. At the stated 50% allocation, that would direct close to $488,000 toward daily repurchases if revenue remained stable.
The rally also comes after a major July token distribution. Pump distributed about 57.28 billion PUMP across 121 wallets in mid-July, adding roughly $86.5 million in previously locked tokens to team and investor wallets at the time.
Price weakness ahead of the distribution suggested traders had already reduced exposure before the new supply entered circulation. The subsequent recovery indicates that spot demand and buybacks have so far absorbed at least part of the potential selling pressure.
PUMP charts put $0.0028 in focus
PUMPโs daily chart has turned constructive after the token moved above all four moving averages shown. The 20-day simple moving average stands near $0.0020, while the 50- and 100-day averages sit around $0.00172 and $0.00168.
The 200-day average at approximately $0.00187 represents the most important longer-term threshold. PUMPโs move above it suggests the broader trend is improving, although buyers still need to defend the breakout on a daily closing basis.
On the 4-hour chart, PUMP is trading near the upper boundary of an ascending channel. That resistance line reaches approximately $0.00265 in the immediate term and rises toward $0.0028 over the coming sessions.
Momentum favors buyers. The 4-hour moving average convergence divergence line stood at 0.000111, above its 0.000080 signal line, while the positive histogram widened to 0.000031.
However, the 4-hour relative strength index has climbed to 76.71. A reading above 70 generally signals overbought conditions and raises the probability of short-term profit-taking or consolidation.
