As the final day of 2025 arrives, the broader cryptocurrency market is showing modest strength. Both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are trading slightly in the green, helping stabilize overall sentiment. This steady backdrop has created room for select altcoins — including Pump.fun (PUMP) — to begin forming constructive technical structures after prolonged downside pressure.
PUMP is starting to stand out, posting a nearly 5% daily gain and trimming its 60-day decline to around 57%. While the recovery is still early, the more important development is visible on the daily chart, where price action is beginning to hint at a meaningful structural shift. If confirmed, this setup could mark the early stages of a broader bullish continuation.

Rounding Bottom in Play
On the daily timeframe, PUMP appears to be carving out a classic rounding bottom formation — a well-known bullish reversal pattern that typically develops after an extended downtrend. This pattern reflects a slow but steady transition from aggressive selling to quiet accumulation, as sellers gradually lose control and buyers begin stepping in with more confidence.
Earlier in the trend, PUMP faced strong rejection near the $0.03396 neckline region, which triggered a sharp and extended decline. That sell-off eventually found a floor near the $0.0017 level, a zone that has since acted as a critical demand area. Multiple defenses of this region prevented further downside and laid the foundation for a potential trend reversal.

Since establishing this base, PUMP has started to curve higher in a rounded fashion on the chart. This gradual upward arc suggests that selling pressure is fading rather than ending abruptly — a key characteristic of healthier bottoming structures. The recent recovery above the $0.0019 region further supports the idea that accumulation is underway and that market participants are positioning ahead of a larger move.
What’s Next for PUMP?
For the rounding bottom structure to gain confirmation, PUMP needs to reclaim the 50-day moving average, currently hovering near the $0.002675 mark. A sustained move above this level would signal a shift in short-term momentum and reinforce the view that buyers are beginning to regain control after months of corrective price action.
Looking further ahead, the most significant technical barrier remains the neckline resistance around $0.03396. A clean and decisive breakout above this zone would validate the entire reversal pattern and could usher in a broader bullish expansion phase. Such a move would likely attract renewed interest from momentum traders who have remained sidelined during the prolonged downtrend.
Until those levels are reclaimed, the pattern remains in its development phase. Short-term consolidation or minor pullbacks cannot be ruled out, especially if price hesitates near the 50-day moving average. However, as long as PUMP continues to form higher lows and holds above the $0.0017 base, the broader rounding bottom structure remains intact.
Overall, PUMP is approaching a technically significant inflection point. The evolving rounding bottom pattern, improving price structure, and proximity to key resistance levels suggest that the coming sessions could be decisive in determining the token’s next major directional move as the market steps into 2026.

ETH up 0.65% in 15 minutes: amplified net exchange outflows, short-term buy pressure, and on-chain activity plus a surge of new users driving the rebound
During the period from 12:45 to 13:00 (UTC) on 2026-04-17, the ETH price recorded a +0.65% return, closing in the 2355.76 - 2382.28 USDT range, with a 15-minute amplitude of 1.13%. During this time, market attention rose rapidly, on-chain and derivatives trading activity increased significantly, and short-term volatility intensified.
The main driving force behind this unusual move is that the net exchange fund inflow-outflow phenomenon has been amplified. On-chain data show that within 10 minutes, approximately $420,000 worth of ETH was continuously transferred out of trading platforms, reflecting a significantly stronger investor willingness to hold tokens,

BTC drops 0.52% in 15 minutes: Whale inflows to exchanges combined with insufficient liquidity amplify sell pressure
From 2026-04-17 10:15 to 2026-04-17 10:30 (UTC), the BTC price rapidly fell within the 75214.3 – 75725.9 USDT range. The cumulative return over 15 minutes was -0.52%, and the amplitude reached 0.68%. During this period, market sentiment shifted from cautious to bearish, volatility on the board increased, mainstream trading pairs saw an increase in主动 sell-side volume, buy-side acceptance became constrained, and overall trading activity declined significantly.
The primary driver behind this unusual move is that large holders (whales) concentrated their short-term inflows into exchanges. On-chain data shows that net inflows to addresses holding more than 1000 BTC per address changed from a steady state to a positive value, directly boosting exchange balances over the short term. Historical data indicates that whale inflows to exchanges are highly correlated with sell pressure in the medium to short term. In the same period, order book snapshots reflected a significant increase in the volume of主动 sell orders, and the成交价梯度 shifted downward, highlighting that weak market absorption capacity caused a short-term drop in price.
In addition, in the derivatives market, the long/short positioning structure tilted toward shorts. The number of主动 sell contracts exceeded that of buys in a short time, and rising pressure to close long positions further intensified the downtrend. Market liquidity overall was relatively weak; the number of active addresses over the past 10 minutes was only about 42k, and both fees and the mempool were near their lowest levels of the recent month. Against a backdrop of insufficient capital absorption, the marginal impact of large sell orders was amplified. On the macro front, the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy tightening and industry media repeatedly downgraded BTC’s near-term expectations led investors’ risk appetite to generally decline, creating a resonance at the level of market sentiment.
In the short term, it is still necessary to stay alert to liquidity risk and the price impact of one-way large transactions in specific trading pairs. Going forward, focus on key developments such as changes in whales’ on-chain holdings, exchange balances, and rebounds in activity metrics, as well as the potential impact of macro policy direction on risk assets. Relevant users should primarily guard against the risk of sharply amplified short-term price volatility and promptly track more market information.
