Pump.fun [PUMP] is currently trading at $0.003623 on Binance Spot. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 38.8%, indicating immediate selling pressure, while the 4-hour buy ratio is 51.5%, showing a slight majority of buyers over that longer timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio is 46.0%, suggesting that selling has dominated the full day. Volume Delta reflects this imbalance, with a net outflow of -$408,321 in the last hour and -$2,004,177 over 24 hours, compared to a net inflow of +$149,580 over the past 4 hours. This means that while short-term momentum is bearish, there was a brief period of net buying earlier in the 4-hour window that has since been overtaken by sustained selling.
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.
