It reflects a PUMP market dominated by steady buying pressure, with traders willing to accumulate at higher levels while sellers are gradually pushed out.

The Parabolic SAR indicator identifies an asset’s potential trend direction and reversals. When its dots are placed below the price, the market is in an upward trend. It indicates the asset’s price is rising, and the rally may continue.

Also, PUMP’s Smart Money Index (SMI) is trending higher, showing strong backing from key holders. Currently, it stands at a two-month high of 1.0005.

The SMI tracks the behavior of institutional investors or experienced traders by comparing morning selling, often led by retail traders, against afternoon buying, typically driven by institutions. 

A rising SMI indicates accumulation by smart money, preceding significant price moves. For PUMP, the uptick in SMI suggests key holders are backing the rally, supporting the bullish outlook.
