cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Pump.fun’s PUMP token has emerged as a strong performer during a challenging week for crypto markets, posting impressive gains while major assets struggled. The token climbed roughly 17% in 24 hours and extended weekly gains to 38%, outperforming larger digital assets as the broader market declined. A powerful buyback strategy continues driving demand, with a major reason for this strength coming from Pump.fun's aggressive buyback program. Market participants are closely watching whether this rally can extend toward higher resistance levels in the days ahead.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PUMP, measured when this story was written up on 2 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows PUMP trading at $0.005826 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 54.0%, indicating that buyers controlled more than half of the volume. The 1-hour buy ratio of 51.4% is lower than the 4-hour ratio of 56.9%, suggesting that short-term buying pressure is fading relative to the recent four-hour trend. The volume delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume; positive deltas of +$54,530 (1h), +$1,372,158 (4h), and +$2,827,878 (24h) confirm that net buying pressure has been present. Cumulative Volume Delta closed at +$5,748,554 over 24 hours, with net buying occurring in 21 of the 24 hours, while spot volume reached $34,874,415 across 281,820 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 63rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.3% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?

The latest day’s buy ratio was 3.9 points higher than this weekly average, marking an unusual day of elevated buying activity. However, spot volume was only 0.68x the average, indicating that this increased buying pressure occurred on lower-than-normal volume. Net buying was recorded on 4 of the 7 days, with a total volume delta of +$3,669,366 over the eight-day period.
