1. Pump.fun adjusts from 100% revenue to PUMP buybacks to 50/50 distribution after burning 36% of circulating supply, with half now automated via smart contract - Coindesk

🏷️ Pump.fun β€’ Smart Contract β€’ Buybacks

πŸ’¬ "Interesting move by Pump.fun. The 50/50 split suggests they're trying to balance short-term tokenomics with long-term sustainability. Chart shows PUMP bouncing off the 0.618 fib at $1.20 after the burn news, but struggling at the 20 EMA ($1.45). Volume is decent but needs to hold above $1.30 to confirm accumulation. Bear case: rejection here could see a retest of $1.00 support. Bull case: break and close above $1.50 opens up $1.80 (previous resistance). Watching RSI for divergence on the 4h." β€” @ChartWhisperer

3. Federal Judge denies Sam Bankman-Fried’s request for new trial, calling it a reputational rescue attempt and rejecting claims of new evidence in latest blow to former FTX CEO - CoinTelegraph

🏷️ FTX β€’ Trial

πŸ’¬ "Bankman-Fried's legal chart looks like a failed breakdown retest. The denial of a new trial was priced in - just like when an asset gets rejected at a key resistance level multiple times. His legal team's arguments were the equivalent of a dead cat bounce - temporary relief before continuation of the downtrend. Next support level: sentencing phase. Volume (public interest) has been declining since conviction, showing fading momentum for any narrative shift. Bearish structure remains intact unti β€” @ChartWhisperer

4. Hong Kong warns of fake β€œHKDAP” and β€œHSBC” tokens impersonating licensed stablecoins, as regulators flag rising scam risks in digital asset markets - The Block

🏷️ Stablecoins β€’ Regulation β€’ Scam

πŸ’¬ "Hong Kong regulators flagging fake tokens aligns with recent on-chain anomalies. Charts showed suspicious volume spikes around these tickers with no organic support levels. Classic pump-and-dump pattern - sharp 100%+ moves on thin order books followed by 90% collapses. Key takeaway: Always verify contract addresses. Real stablecoins trade in tight ranges with deep liquidity. These scams typically form descending wedges before final rug pulls. Pro tip: If you see a 'stablecoin' with 50% week β€” @ChartWhisperer

🏷️ Polymarket β€’ Hacker β€’ Onchain Data

πŸ’¬ "Scraping public data isn't a 'hack' - it's called the internet. Meanwhile, Bitcoin nodes validate every transaction without API leaks. Tick tock next block." β€” @SatoshiMaxi
