PumpFun's first dumping of 86,000 SOL realized 16.28 million USD, with the PUMP price approaching ICO levels.

On August 13, on-chain data showed that PumpFun conducted its first large-scale dumping of 86,000 SOL five hours ago, cashing out 16.28 million USD USDC. This move occurred as the price of the PUMP Token approached its ICO issuance price of 0.004 USD, triggering high market attention towards its subsequent trend.

According to the report by Yuzhen, SOL was transferred from the fee wallet and the buyback wallet to the CEX, and then sold on-chain at an average price of 189 USD, with the proceeds in USDC transferred back to the exchange.

This is the first large-scale trap since PumpFun issued its tokens, seen by the market as a signal for whales to lock in profits.

PUMP: One of the largest ICOs in history, price has fallen back to the issuance price range

ICO fundraising: raised 500 million USD in less than 12 minutes

Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): Over 4 billion USD

ICO Price: 0.004 USD

Listing high point: 0.0068 USD (subsequently plummeted nearly 67%)

In the past few weeks, PUMP has shown signs of a rebound, but is still suppressed by whale dumping, with the price currently approaching ICO levels.

The Tug of War Between Buybacks and Whale Dumping

PumpFun has invested 118,000 SOL (approximately 19 million USD) to repurchase nearly 3 billion PUMP at an average price of 0.0064 USD, which should theoretically reduce the circulating supply and support the price.

However, over the past month, PUMP has still fallen by 53%, indicating insufficient organic demand.

On-chain analysis company Lookonchain pointed out that well-known trader ParallelAiRev has liquidated their PUMP long position, locking in over 1.5 million USD in profit as the price approached recent highs, and is ranked first on the Hyperliquid 30-day PUMP trading leaderboard.

Technical Analysis: Rising Wedge Internal Momentum Weakens

Since hitting a low of 0.0022 USD on July 29, PUMP has been rebounding within an ascending wedge, with higher lows being gradually established, but the upward momentum is decreasing with each attack.

Platform Advantages: PumpFun has reclaimed its status as the top Meme Token issuance platform on Solana, accounting for over 65% of the daily 27,500 issuances.

Risk factors: Heavyweight traders taking profits may weaken short-term upside potential.

Conclusion

PumpFun has launched its first dumping of 86,000 SOL, indicating that whales locking in profits are affecting the market sentiment of PUMP. Although the platform's activity and buyback actions provide some support for the Token, persistent selling pressure and insufficient demand have made PUMP's short-term trend highly uncertain. For investors following the Solana ecosystem's Meme coin market, the next steps for PUMP will be a key focus.
