Pump.fun (PUMP), Story (IP), and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) experience intense selling pressure over the last 24 hours. PUMP and IP failed to cross the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), resulting in a pullback on Wednesday, while PENGU is testing its 50-day EMA. The technical outlook for these cryptocurrencies remains bearish due to the prevailing downtrend.

Pump.fun at risk of further decline as bullish momentum wanes

Pump.fun trades above the 20-day EMA at $0.002248 at press time on Thursday, following an 11% drop from the 50-day EMA at $0.002624 on the previous day, breaking the eight-day streak of uptrend. 

If the meme coin launchpad token extends below $0.0002248, it could extend the decline to the $0.002000 psychological mark, followed by the S1 Pivot Point at $0.001262.

The technical indicators on the daily chart suggest a decline in buying pressure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 51, declining toward the halfway line. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) turns flat, as declining green histogram bars signal a decline in bullish momentum.

If PUMP rebounds to clear the 50-day EMA at $0.002624, it could target the R1 Pivot Point at $0.002983.

Story hits the crucial crossroads at $2.00

Story trades around $2.00 at the time of writing on Thursday, marking its third consecutive bearish day. The meme coin is down 2%, extending the 4% decline from the previous day and risking the 20-day EMA at $1.91.

If IP falls below $1.91, it could further decline to the S1 Pivot Point at $1.22.

Similar to PUMP, the technical indicators on the daily chart point to declining buying pressure in Story. The RSI is at 53, slipping closer to the halfway line while the MACD approaches the signal line risking a crossover which would indicate renewed bearish momentum.
