PUMP is still in the trending searches list, and Binance 24-hour trading volume is about $45.02 million; but the price over the same period is about -2.65%, while the funding rate is positive.
This does not mean there is "no volume"; rather, there is heavy turnover without pushing the price up. A positive funding rate means long positions in futures are paying a cost, but by itself it cannot determine who will be liquidated; what it really reveals is that active trading and net buying pressure are not the same variable.
Many popular coins are easiest to misread because of trading volume: seeing tens of millions of dollars and assuming fresh capital has entered. In reality, frequent turnover, market making, and short-term hedging can all inflate volume; whether the price receives sustained support is a different matter.
The state that is closer to the data right now is: PUMP still has attention and trading activity, but they have not yet translated into net upward price pressure. If spot support, OI, and basis change simultaneously, then it will be necessary to reinterpret who is actually driving this turnover.
