A separate, newly created wallet, identified as GnZqfY, withdrew 189.22 million PUMP tokens from MEXC. The transfer was valued at $1.18 million and occurred seven hours before Lookonchain’s update. Together, the transactions involved 572.56 million tokens worth roughly $3.58 million.

PUMP reportedly climbed 20% over 24 hours, reaching a fresh local high following the previous day’s long position liquidations. The rebound accompanied renewed activity from large holders, although the transactions do not establish what drove the rally.

Lookonchain did not publicly identify a reason for netherlol’s return. The MEXC withdrawal also does not independently confirm a new purchase.

PUMP Coin Surges as $0.007 Target Comes Into Focus

The PUMP coin surged to $0.006365, extending its recovery within a rising channel on the four-hour timeframe. 

The relative strength index registered 65.77. It remained below the conventional 70 threshold associated with overbought conditions, 

The MACD line stood at 0.000241, above the signal line’s reading of 0.000189. Its histogram measured 0.000052 and had turned positive following the recent decline. 

Successive candles then moved higher within the ascending channel, recovering the horizontal level around $0.006.

The next resistance is at $0.007, which is around 9.98% higher than the price shown, providing the second conditional target. To reach it, PUMP coin price would need to continue to keep the breakout and not drop below the first resistance.

On the other hand, rejection at $0.00655 could lead to a retest of the $0.006 support zone. If that level is broken and the rise channel is broken down, this would weaken the recovery structure. If that’s the case, then it might open up the recent bounce region around $0.0055.
