> **Visual Note:** A TradingView 3-day candlestick chart of LIT/USDT Perpetual Contract on Binance shows the price consolidating around the $2.30 level (currently at 2.3957) with a green exponential moving average curving upward from the lows, supporting the post's view that consolidation above the $2 threshold builds bullish confidence for a move higher. Volume bars below show notable spikes in early May and June 2026.

consolidation above 2 gives me more confidence this wants higher"

Yeah, you read that right.

> **Visual Note:** Hyperliquid shows a PUMP/USDC spot position up 101.7%, with an entry price of 0.0014 and mark price of 0.0029. It reflects the post’s message that the trader closed the PUMP perp and is holding the token long-term as a spot position despite anticipating possible local downside.  

> 
> "closed 
$PUMP
 perp, now just riding long term spot. PUMP and LIT are probably still the two alts i'm most bullish on htf, but locally there's some low vol "bottom in" complacency on majors that risks a downside surprise nuke esp for alts, so have also hedged everything accordingly"
