PUMP prepares for further recovery

PUMP edges higher by 1% at press time on Thursday, surpassing a short-term resistance trendline that marks a bullish flag pattern breakout on the 4-hour chart. The breakout rally targets the R1 pivot level at $0.009793, which acts as the immediate resistance. 

Adding to the upward trend, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) rises towards its signal line, hinting at a potential crossover as bearish momentum declines. Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) holds steady above the halfway line at 60, suggesting that the buying pressure is heightened.

On the downside, a potential pullback under the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.007165 would invalidate the pattern breakout. This could result in a decline to the 100-period EMA at $0.006134.
